Trent Reznor on Doom: 'In some ways I felt a parallel with what I was trying to do with music'

The recent QuakeCon celebration spotlighted id software's 30th anniversary, featuring a Quake-themed panel and a newly released 19-level Quake episode. Trent Reznor, the renowned Nine Inch Nails frontman, made a brief appearance on the livestream, sharing his experiences working on Quake's original soundtrack. Reznor, who often found the music too intense, initially felt a parallel between his own artistic endeavors and the groundbreaking impact of Doom, a game that revolutionized the gaming industry.

He recalled the game's technological advancements, the sense of freedom, and the lack of adult oversight, all of which struck a chord with his music-making process. Reznor's collaboration with the id team on the Quake soundtrack remains a proud moment in his career, and he is particularly proud of its enduring quality. In honor of Quake's 30th anniversary, Nine Inch Nails has released a range of themed merchandise, including an ammo box, t-shirt, keychain, hoodie, and a vinyl reissue of the original soundtrack, despite its high price tag.
