E1 and E2's ending level is perhaps more akin to Ride the Lightning ending with Call of Ktulu, a sort of bittersweet resolution as the culmination of this dark chapter. Finally, the boss level finishing out the third episode is comparable to Spit out the Bone, Reign in Blood, or Dyers Eve something fast and high energy, but with a sense of finality to it. After the ballad, we're renewed and ready again for something fast and heavy, but with its unique spin on a similar dark theme. E2M4 similarly has a slower, more deliberate pace to it, and E1M5 could fit this role as well. Im 100 on Master of Puppets, plus its own thing. No disrespect to Justice, of course, it’s still a great song and I actually prefer the album Justice over the album Puppets.

It gets straight to the fucking point instantly and doesn’t let up until it’s over. E3M4's House of Pain is the ballad of Hell, with the slower, melodic Sign of Evil. Honorable mention, Creeping Death, which has a similar tune to Master of Puppets in one part. In Master of Puppets, you never get that feeling. Fade to Black, A Tout Le Monde, Cemetery Gates, etc. You have a couple of those, then it's time for a ballad to balance out the darkness/heaviness, e.g. They really start getting into the meat and potatoes of what this episode/album is about. It gets the blood flowing and gets you ready for the next couple of levels/tracks, which are a bit longer and more complex. You have the first level which is short, quick, and high energy, like a Battery or Angel of Death.

I've long felt that an episode of Doom is akin to a metal album-hear me out! Yeah Doom was a big reason I got into heavy metal music too. RE: Complex Master Of Puppets Post by Monsterovich Fri 4:45 pm quoteUntitledBFG is fixable as long as only one faction has a BFG9000 - 'Damagetype 'BFGSplash', 0' should do the trick. Really I blame Doom for the fact I like metal in the first place.

I remember the first time I heard Behind the Crooked Cross and it blew my mind cause it was literally the riff I'd known for years out of Sever the Wicked. I used to blast their classic albums and play Doom when I was still a mega fan of theirs.
