This one has less to do with Duke3D as originally released, and more about a specific intermission (digitized) sound track file used in two old TCs for Duke3D.

When it comes to such TCs, most people had probably got to hear that intermission track in Duke meets Doom, as of writing this. Last 2+ years, I also discovered its use in an old multiplayer-centered mod, the Duke Nukem PaintBall 2 TC. The file bonus.voc as present in the archive pbduke2.zip had the timestamp of "1995-12-16 03:37:32", but looks like the original source was from 1996.

With the assistance of SongFinder, I think that I've finally found out its origin:

Spoiler

Apathy from the album Xtort, by KMFDM.

Another music related discovery. I found that "B7" from the Quake soundtrack add-on "Methods of Destruction" by Sonic Mayhem, and later remixed for the end credits of Quake for the Sega Saturn, used the same guitar sample as "Chaingun In My Hand" from the Total Meltdown soundtrack. The Quake wiki mentions that this guitar track was recored by Jurgen Engler of Die Krupps for their remix of Front Line Assembly's "Barcode." I'm not convinced this is true, as the real source of the sample (and some others from Total Meltdown, tons of other bands' music, tv shows, etc) is Sonic Foundry's Methods of Mayhem loops and sample CD for Sony Acid. It can be found in your favorite online library rather easily.
