Wired.com is hosting an audio interview that they recently conducted with id Software's John Carmack and with Trent Reznor, the musician and producer behind the music of Nine Inch Nails.

Most gamers will remember that Reznor was responsible for the visceral soundtrack of the legendary game, Quake. Now, Reznor has been recruited to handle the sound for the upcoming Doom III, the latest in the venerated series of games that made id Software famous and practically launched the first-person shooter genre into the gaming forefront.

Doom III was given high coverage at this year's E3 and is one of the most anticipated titles in the current crop of future games. Word on a Mac version has not yet been announced but, considering the fact that every previous version of Doom, as well as all three Quakes, has been popular on the Macintosh, the support of id seems likely.

The interview is offered in RealPlayer and Windows Media formats, so you'll have to download one of the two players to hear the interview if you only use QuickTime. Follow the link below to read the quick intro, then check out the interview.
