Doom 2016's award-winning soundtrack available on vinyl and CD later this year

Id Software's Doom reboot from 2016 delivered a very satisfying new demon slaying experience, managing to win the hearts of fans and critics alike. Its soundtrack also played a big part in the game's reception, going on to win the Best Music / Sound Design award at The Game Awards 2016 and even receiving a nomination for Best Music and Audio Achievement at BAFTA Games last year.

Composed by Mick Gordon, the Doom soundtrack will soon be available in physical formats, with Bethesda announcing today that the original game soundtrack will be available on CD and vinyl forms sometime in summer 2018.

There are four editions of this metal and synth soundtrack to choose from, some even coming with "blood red vinyl" records. Provided by Bethesda, the separate editions are detailed below alongside their recommended retail prices:

  • Deluxe Double CD ($15): Featuring a premium triple gatefold sleeve and available direct from Laced Records and participating retailers worldwide
  • Double LP ($35): Pressed on 180g blood red vinyl and complete with premium packaging this version features 20 favorite tracks selected by the developers themselves. Available direct from Laced Records and participating retailers worldwide
  • Special Edition X4LP ($80): Cut at the legendary Abbey Road Studios this four-disc vinyl set is encased within double hard slip cases and features premium printed inner sleeves with DOOM artwork. Pressed on black vinyl it includes the full DOOM soundtrack and is available to pre-order direct from Laced Records store and participating retailers worldwide
  • Special Limited Edition X4LP ($100): The four-disc special edition comes with all the bells and whistles of the Standard Edition X4LP but is pressed on 180g blood red vinyl and adds the Deluxe Double CD, plus a custom turntable slipmat. The Special Edition is only available via pre-order for a 14-day window ending 2nd May 2018 direct from the Laced Records store only.

Pre-orders for all versions are available via Laced Cords and are slated to ship in Q3 2018. Here's the store page for North American residents, while Doom fans residing elsewhere can grab the soundtrack from the international store over here.
