Argenta-Oreana High School

A high school located right in the middle of Illinois filled with nothing, but wanna-be hicks, fake racists, and easy women. Anyone that has gone there has never left or done anything with their lives.

If you went to Argenta-Oreana High School you're probably a loser.

Argent Metal

A sub-genre of music popularized by the later entries in the DOOM series of videogames. Relies heavily on guitars and guitar-like instruments. Also know for it's occasional use of non-instruments edited to sound like one. One could correctly describe it as "Audio Violence".

Argent Metal

Argent Metal, also known as Doom-Core and Argent-Core, is an aggressive music genre pioneered by composer Mick Gordon in the Doom 2016 videogame reboot and its sequel, Doom Eternal. A subset of the Metal genre, it makes heavy use of synthesized djent-like guitar riffs overlaid with distorted electronic elements derived from sine wave frequencies. The word "Argent" is in reference to the demonic energy from Hell, known as Argent Energy, in Doom 2016. One could correctly describe it as "Audio Violence".

Demon 1: Dude, what's that hellish noise?
Demon 2: That's Argent Metal. You should check it out, it'll rip and tear your ear drums.

Argent Metal

Originally innovated by the experimentation of Mick Gordon in the Wolfenstein and Killer Instinct franchises, the most commonly agreed upon point of inception was when he created the Soundtrack for DOOM 2016. This can be attributed to the fact that he was tasked to "Create Music like Nobody has ever heard before" when tasked with composing and developing sound design techniques.

Through what is considered by some to be a 'happy accident' and others a display of technical brilliance in terms of music production - the culmination of factors has lead to probably the most influential movements in Modern Metal. Post-release of DOOM Eternal, the popularity of both DOOM and it's soundtracks skyrocketed and many artists sought out to decode and replicate many of the sound design techniques used.

YouTuber and Composer Geoffrey Day saw a great deal of success in creating Video Game covers in the style of DOOM; with the term 'Argent Metal' originating from a YouTube Community post in which he polled his subscribers on what they thought this new genre should be called.

Stylistic wise, the genre is generally defined by the extreme meshing of Electronic Sound Design with the Writing of Modern Metal music. It is a common misconception that Guitars are the defining factor of this genre when really, any aggressively distorted set of frequencies (or Atonal non-frequencies)from a controllable sound source often suffices.

Person 1: Hey man, have you heard about Argent Metal?
Person 2: Yeah!! I've heard there's a really awesome online community dedicated to making it!
