Andrew Hulshult

Hulshult is based in Dallas, Texas, where he has lived since childhood.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamefront.com/games/gamingtoday/article/game-front-1-on-1-rise-of-the-triad-musician-andrew-hulshult|title=Metal, Texas, Doom; Rise of the Triad Musician Andrew Hulshult|last=Lincoln|first=Ross|date=December 21, 2012|website=GameFront|access-date=April 23, 2019}} He started in the industry composing for a Duke Nukem 3D remake that would eventually be canceled. Interceptor Entertainment CEO Frederik Schreiber wanted a heavy metal soundtrack for the game and described Hulshult's demos as "by far the best they had received." That relationship eventually led to Hulshult scoring the 2013 remake of Rise of the Triad.{{Cite web|url=https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/interview-with-andrew-hulshult/|title=Interview with Andrew Hulshult|last=Oberlin|first=David|date=April 11, 2017|website=Soundscape|access-date=April 23, 2019}} After Interceptor merged with 3D Realms, he continued with the company on several 3D Realms releases including Bombshell and Rad Rodgers.

Hulshult independently created remakes for classic video game tracks from games such as Quake II{{cite web|last=Andrew Hulshult|title=Quake II – Quad Machine ( remake by Andrew Hulshult )|date=September 12, 2013|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPLekAmJ1KQ|access-date=April 23, 2019|via=YouTube}} and Doom,{{cite web|last=Andrew Hulshult|title=IDKFA – Knee deep in the dead remake by Andrew Hulshult|date=July 2, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WktBkffgEm8|access-date=April 23, 2019|via=YouTube}} the latter of which was attached to the Brutal Doom mod by Marcos "Sergeant_Mark_IV" Abenante. The mod won the IGN SXSW 2017 award for "Fan Creation of the Year", and Hulshult accepted for Sergeant_Mark_IV, who wasn't able to attend.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03/21/all-the-winners-from-the-sxsw-gaming-awards-2017|title=All the Winners from the SXSW Gaming Awards 2017|last=Krajewski|first=Brandon|date=March 21, 2017|website=IGN|access-date=April 23, 2019}}
