Gaming Anthem Reaches Milestone on Spotify

Mick Gordon's "BFG Division" Reaches 100 Million Spotify Streams, Underscoring Doom's Enduring Impact

Mick Gordon's iconic "BFG Division" from the 2016 Doom reboot has achieved a remarkable milestone: 100 million streams on Spotify. This achievement highlights not only the enduring popularity of the Doom franchise, but also the significant contribution of Gordon's metal-infused soundtrack.

The Doom series, a revolutionary force in the FPS genre since its inception, continues to resonate with gamers. Its fast-paced gameplay and distinctive heavy metal soundtrack are key elements of its lasting appeal. "BFG Division," a quintessential example of this sonic landscape, perfectly complements the game's intense action sequences.

Gordon's announcement of the streaming milestone on Twitter, accompanied by celebratory emojis, underscores the track's widespread recognition. His contributions extend beyond this single track; he composed numerous iconic pieces for Doom (2016) and its sequel, Doom Eternal.

Gordon's Broader Impact on FPS Soundtracks

Gordon's influence stretches across various FPS franchises. He's lent his talents to Bethesda titles like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus and even ventured beyond the Bethesda umbrella, contributing to the soundtrack of Borderlands 3.

However, despite his significant contributions to the Doom franchise, Gordon will not be returning to score the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages. He cited creative differences and production challenges during the development of Doom Eternal as the reason for his departure.

The success of "BFG Division" serves as a testament to the enduring power of Doom's legacy and the unforgettable musical score crafted by Mick Gordon.
