KherrI know that it is almost a year since you posted this, but being the Doom fanatic that you are, I thought you may be interested in this. Found on wayback machine.
Blood On The Walls!
Here's an interesting story. Some of you may be too young to remember, or just weren't into PC games at the time, but after DOOM was released, the entire world just went nuts.
We used to get a lot of stuff in the mail that DOOM fans sent to us and some of that stuff was music based on DOOM. There was one particularly awful song which I won't torture you with, but suffice to say the world was going DOOM crazy and wanted to tell us about it. Even the guys in the metal group GWAR wanted to be a part of it somehow (they eventually became part of Deathmatch '95 in Seattle...)
Anyway, one day in 1995 a cassette tape arrived at the offices and, as usual, I got it since I was very much the person who was talking with a lot of these people (along with Jay Wilbur who did most of the talking, btw!) We got this tape from a guy named Manny Charleton and the tape was created by the Manny Charlton Band.
Manny Charlton was the original guitarist of the legendary group Nazareth. Whoa.
I popped the tape in my tape player and was expecting to hear something less than awesome.... but instead, this song just ROCKED from the start! It's a little over 5 minutes long, but man it was the coolest thing we had sent to us. The tape cover says "Distribute as shareware" in keeping with the spirit of DOOM. Alas, we were so busy the tape somehow ended up in my collection, never to be seen for years...until now.
Here is the MP3 I made of the song. I've named it Blood On The Walls as it had no title. The cassette liner says DOOM everywhere, but I like this name.
