Mick Gordon is asking ‘how heavy can we get it?’ in his first full game soundtrack since Doom Eternal: ‘I’m really exploring the extremes of distortion with this project’

Australian composer Mick Gordon is known for his distinctive future-metal sound in videogame music, particularly for his work on id Software's Wolfenstein and Doom. After parting ways with Bethesda, he has worked on various projects, including the soundtrack for Atomic Heart and recently announced his involvement in the soundtrack for the upcoming cyberpunk game Defect. The game features a sprawling metropolis and an omnipresent surveillance AI, drawing inspiration from the 2011 film Dredd. Gordon aims to integrate his musical style into Defect while experimenting with microtonal sounds and off-tempo beats. He plans to use synthesizers to create an immersive auditory experience that reflects the game's grim cityscapes. Gordon also cited the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie as an unexpected source of inspiration for capturing a nostalgic energy in his work. Players can wishlist Defect on Steam as they await its release.
