I guess the names Doom & Diablo sort of give it away. The basic theme of both games is pretty gritty and for some reason the first really was a huge hit. Probably because of the level of realism and game play and not necessarily the dark theme. Some people think a dark theme for a game is more interesting. It surely induces more angst and fear and tension. Perhaps the developers were really into 'dark music'. But 'dark music' has been around for ages, it is just a part of culture and some like it and some don't. Perhaps we should ask the Doom developers what type of music they like ?

Have a nice thanksgiving by the way!
