BFG Division (Doom Eternal cover)

Alex Terrible's cover of 'BFG Division' from Doom Eternal is a powerful and aggressive anthem that encapsulates the relentless spirit of the Doom Slayer, the protagonist of the Doom video game series. The lyrics are a battle cry against the forces of hell, emphasizing the unyielding determination and ferocity of the Doom Slayer. The repeated phrase 'Rip and tear' serves as a mantra, highlighting the brutal and unrelenting nature of the character's mission to destroy evil.

The song delves into themes of strength, resilience, and defiance. The Doom Slayer is portrayed as an unstoppable force, driven by a divine mission to combat the evils of hell. Lines like 'Your God guides me' and 'Assigned to the mission of a soldier' suggest a higher purpose and a sense of duty that transcends mere survival. The Doom Slayer's malice is described as a tool, indicating that his anger and aggression are not just emotions but weapons in his fight against evil.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of identity and legitimacy. The Doom Slayer confronts a 'usurper' and a 'false idol,' asserting his own authenticity and rightful place as the true warrior against hell's forces. This confrontation is not just physical but also ideological, as the Doom Slayer's eyes are 'opened,' and he seeks to reveal the truth to others. The song concludes with a message of eternal struggle and unbroken will, encapsulating the endless battle between good and evil and the indomitable spirit of the Doom Slayer.
