Twitter User Uncovers Final Easter Egg in ‘DOOM’ Soundtrack

Everyone and their mom went nuts over Mick Gordon’s fantastically brutal DOOM soundtrack. And rightfully so. Gordon took cues from Bobby Prince’s original soundtrack, and created something that was perfect to ripping and tearing. What you might not have known was that there are five easter eggs buried within the music, with the fifth one recently being uncovered by twitter user Nick White.

The easter egg in question is found in the song “Authorization; Olivia Pierce,” the seventh track on the DOOM soundtrack. By using a little software trickery, White increased the pitch of the song around the 50-second mark. After the big swell starts to fade, you can hear Olivia Pierce herself say, “You could not have saved them anyway,” a quote directly from Pierce within the game.

Mick Gordon (who is still working away on that “totally not DOOM Eternal soundtrack”) was quick to confirm that the easter egg was found.

So, what were the previous four? For the first three, you’ll need to grab yourself something like Adobe Audition, or another audio program that allows you to view a spectral frequency display. Those who are familiar with Aphex Twin and their nightmare fuel know what comes next. By viewing the spectral frequency on the songs “Cyberdemon,” “Authorization; Olivia Pierce,” and “SkullHacker,” you can find hidden images of a pentagram and 666, the number 36, and John Romero’s head on a pike, respectively.

The fourth one is similar to the classic backmasking craze. In the song “IV. Doom,” by switching a certain part of the track to mono, and then reversing the sound, you can hear a woman say, “Jesus loves you.”

DOOM Eternal is set for a 2019 release.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
