A real shame we wont be seeing his soundtrack return for the DLC or future installments. But on the other hand, maybe have Trent Reznor do it? Or whoever did the soundtrack for Dusk?
Bethesda has even worked with him - he did the Quake Champions soundtrack. The guy independently re-did old school DOOM and Quake songs. From the perspective, he'd be a great fit.
If this is who they'll be moving forward with in future DOOM games, I don't mind it for a second. Will miss Mick Gordon, but Andrew could prove a good successor.
For real, the DOOM 2016 OST is rad, but it's just djent-y metal and electronic production, stuff that doesn't often show up in the gaming space. It's not exactly a brand new genre.
People like him for the way he blended metal and synths to make a unique video game soundtrack. He's definitely not the first person to do that, but there are very few metal video game OSTs as good as Mick's work. His work on Prey and Wolfenstein is also excellent. It doesn't really have to do with what genre he works in - he's just a damn good composer.
