After Metal: Hellsinger Trivium's Matt Heafy Wants To Work On A Doom Soundtrack
It doesn't take a genius to figure out where The Outsiders got its inspiration for Metal: Hellsinger from. The team put together the best parts of Doom and Guitar Hero to create a rhythm-keeping, demon-blasting, heavy-metal FPS. However, it's not easy to compete with the masterpiece soundtrack that Mick Gordon created for Doom's 2016 reboot and its sequel, so the devs decided to bring in their own maestros – vocalists from iconic bands like System of a Down, Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, and Trivium's Matt Heafy.
In a recent interview with PCGN, Heafy admitted that working on the soundtrack for a Doom game has been a "lifelong dream".

I’ve always said that metal needs to be in games, and it’s always so strange that it’s not. You kind of expect it, but you don’t see it that often.
“So to see Hellsinger grab some amazing singers – and I’m not talking about myself here – is really awesome.”
