More on Trent Reznor and DOOM 3

Recently, on August 8th, FiringSquad.com added a small tidbit labeled More on Trent Reznor and DOOM 3 in the "News Headlines" column. FiringSquad is a gaming site with focus on hardware and FPS led by Dennis "Thresh" Fong, top Quake player. Here is what was said:
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame has previously mentioned in an interview with Apple that he was interested in providing the soundtrack for DOOM 3. AMDZone managed to get John Carmack's latest take on the soundtrack status:

After the crowd had left, I asked John Carmack what the status of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Doom 3 was. Apparently, Trent very much wants to do the music for Doom 3. Carmack added that a title soundtrack would also be something they might do for Doom 3, such as done with Quake III, as well as an opening theme like the Quake II introduction sequence. The music should be more ambient as well than id's two previous games, Quake II and Quake III. All those who are worried about not being able to hear enemies in the game can breathe a sigh of relief, as this will also not be an issue with Doom 3's music
Many thanks to Chonine!
