Library of Congress Adds 'Doom' Soundtrack to National Recording Registry
The Library of Congress has officially added the soundtrack for the iconic 1993 video game 'Doom' to its National Recording Registry, preserving it as an important cultural and musical artifact. Composed by Bobby Prince, the soundtrack combines heavy metal, techno, and ambient influences, creating a high-energy musical backdrop that has become inseparable from the first-person shooter experience. Remarkably, the music was composed before the game's levels were fully designed, showcasing Prince's ability to craft compelling tracks independently of gameplay. Prince, a musician and practicing lawyer, also leveraged MIDI technology of the time to balance music with in-game sound effects. The induction highlights 'Doom's' influence not only in gaming but also in digital music innovation. Alongside 'Doom,' other notable 2026 additions to the registry include Weezer's 'The Blue Album,' Taylor Swift's '1989,' Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies,' and the original 'Mambo No. 5.' The announcement recognizes how the game and its music captured a global audience and contributed to the development of the first-person shooter genre.
