Composers need to come up with unique ideas rather than Hollywood-style soundtracks…

DOOM. Mick Gordon. Shame what they did to him though.
- This is going to be a bit of a conservative opinion, but hear me out because i respect both sides of the conversation!
  I think the 2016 doom ost sucks. The way he made is original and kudos to him for doing it that way, but i found the end result boring.
  I like my metal, but not death metal. And this is what it sounded like to me. The same note over and over and no melody.
  That said : the following youtube meme is exactly what this conversation is about and both sides are a-ok!

  Edit : any way i can embed a video in lemmy?

  You understand the doom ost and make a good point, but I think you need to check out death metal with a better ear/bands.
  Not saying you gotta like it, but there's a lot more notes. Maybe try revocation, it's a solid middle of the road death metal band (a little tech, but all the instruments share regular as are the song structures)
  Go for "scorched earth policy", that's a banger.
  
  Ill have to take a listen to those, but dont get your hopes up hehe. I have the same with hardcore etc. After while it all sounds the same to me. Now dimmu borgir has a few really good songs, but they are melodic black metal hehe
  
  Try Melodic Death Metal, Dark Tranquility for example I can recommend "Focus Shift" and "Atoma"
- Sounds like he's on board with a new studio, at least
