DESCRIPTION
Riding on the coat-tails of the last two MIDI Packs, this project seeks for the community’s finest musos to compose another megawad’s worth of original MIDI music for 2003 megawad Doom 2: The Rebirth by Björn Ostmann, aka Vader, one of our most beloved mappers, who was relatively young in his career when he finished this. Later in his career, he would go on to work on a series of increasingly monolithic productions, such as his solo ventures Blackrock and Thunderpeak which were found in ZPack, along with big-name projects like Knee Deep in ZDoom and BTSX.
In this MIDI pack, we pay tribute to Vader by giving his flagship project the treatment of a unique soundtrack that it rightfully deserves. Some of Vader’s own musical ventures can be found in this levelset, and these have been preserved, meaning the total new track count sits at 30, a few tracks short of what would be a full roster (35) of bespoke tracks. There’s some great stuff in this collection, so check it out, alongside the excellent levels by Vader!
