Even as an avid Taylor Swift fan, this author readily admits that sometimes – just sometimes – one needs a little heavy metal in their life. This all-new DOOM launch trailer, with its squealing guitars and muddy basslines, is the perfect tonic to an afternoon spent listening to bittersweet bubblegum pop, then – but where's the brutal double bass pedal got to?

We'll let Bethesda off seeing as there's more than enough brutality elsewhere in this video. Don't you just wish that, like the protagonist here, you could make entire people explode into a shower of viscera with a single punch? Just us? Oh. That's awkward.
