DOOM II - No Rest For The Living - Community MIDI Pack (OST)

[@coincident]

Awesomesauce!

[@Chozo_Ghost]

Obligatory "Mountain Slayers of the Eagle's Thunder appreciation" comment \,,,/ \,,,/

[@Starduster]

I feel the urge to give this pack a shot, after always hearing "Into Sandy's City" in a majority of the maps....

[@michaelandreipalon359]

It only plays in Maps 5 and 7 in NRFTL, far as I'm aware, but yeah, can understand why you need a change of pace.

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

It would be nice to see this soundtrack updated into the Unity ports of No Rest for the Living for all to enjoy. The expansion pack deserves to have it's own soundtrack instead of reusing Doom 2's ost in my opinion.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I'll try posting this on the Bethesda forums just for a shot at it.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

That I can wholesomely agree, although the option to keep the Doom II tracks must still be possible.

[@ognjen39]

beginning of track 1 sounds like cheeks are being clapped

[@rasmushambakstjarnqvist9333]

Decino always slaps demon cheeks

Decino's track is LITT

Came here from MtPain27's vid about nrftl, good stuff!

[@garudave]

Wow, this is great stuff. Decino's track especially, I'm a sucker for lofty melancholy in my midis

[@sundialDialed]

Loving MAP09's track!

[@jonascarrillo8699]

I love decino's use of scale arpegios and doted eight notes.

[@binzero3935]

@@KeksimusMaximus Yeah, yeah, you just feel the need to shit on decino for no damn reason, don't you? Pathetic!

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

@@binzero3935 don't take the bait, mate.

[@DearAnem0ia]

Once I got to Inferno of Blood, Staccato Slaughter slapped harder than should be humanly possible.

[@Ertamperometer]

It might just be me(i'm stupid), but The Last Gatling Gun Rodeo reminds me of motoi sakuraba a little, especially 17:50 onwards. It's a cool track, cammybanana did a fantastic job.

[@LightningCayo]

I finished NRFTL for the first time thanks to Doom + Doom II. I loved the wad and decided to listen this community midi. Each song is amazing. Staccato Slaughter has to be my favorite song, it slaps.

[@TheFinalOutpost]

Sego's Level 5 is my favorite, followed by JD Herrerra's Level 3. The whole midi pack makes NRFTL so much more enjoyable.

[@ahmadakra]

Decino's piece: too amazing for words

[@FairweatherBaah]

Damn dude, Bloo hit it out of the fucking park. A blast beat in a midi? First time I've heard that one!

[@gasparlaborde1948]

I love how the logo's rotation coincides with the track length. Awesome music btw!

[@vlad9881]

Absolutely obsessed with Staccato Slaughter

[@tornado8564]

This soundtrack is awesome and now affects the way I play NRFTL. Decino’s track makes me play the first level slowly, as I am in deep thought. Your own intermission screen is very relaxing. But now one of my favorite things to do is charge up Hell Mountain and storm the castle with Crammybanana’s adrenaline pumping track (and I’ve died quite several times because of foolish mistakes). Then I always take the secret exit in Hell Mountain so I can play the big fight in March of the Demons to the energetic music there (again I’ve died several times making foolish mistakes as I was caught up in the thrill).

[@liamaldrich2476]

"Staccato Slaughter" is an extremely fitting title. Once again, you absolutely crushed this, this time more in terms of pulling together so much talent

[@arcadeguy781]

I love Dry Gulch so much! Starts out slow, but then ramps up significantly! Fantastic MIDI pack to everyone involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tuanmuda8543]

Decino & Megasphere music is great as Heck! Absolutely my favourite track

[@Gemidori]

Decino made the first track?? Holy shit, no wonder it's my favorite lol

[@samuelmillar9918]

Nice to see NRFTL getting some love. On the Xbox this was actually my first introduction to "custom" Doom levels as I never played Final Doom back in the day.

[@georgeheilman885]

Wonderfully suits the maps, I can imagine them to be more fun as a result.

[@StyxGamingYT]

Why am I not surprised that decinos track is super atmospheric haha all great tracks guys!

[@BX56_YT]

Decino's track is such a vibe.

[@TinyGreyOwl]

I gotta say I enjoyed NRFTL more than vanilla DOOM 2. And this magnificent masterpiece did a great part of it.

[@nangsanbhalangblah333]

Staccato Slaughter is something else man, great midi pack.

[@GamingGargoyle]

Nice

[@BlueMK12]

Long Live Doom and this amazing community, thank you for this great pieces of music.

[@TheCelticWayy]

decino's track is legit man. I get proper nostalgic listening to it.

[@alexmason2384]

3:33 I can’t get over how fucking good decino’s track is

[@barbariangamer6209]

decino did a great job with his Midi (Homesick) i love it

[@juagoguago7961]

Holy crap! A custom MIDI pack for one of the first wads I've ever completed (other than DOOM 2 of course)👍 Gotta give a like to this right here.

[@gregg8985]

He keeps coming with the hits

[@Foxfac3]

map09's track is really good

[@RogueAkai]

Thanks dude

[@spladam3845]

Amazing music, this is AAA level shit, that Decina track reminds me of Rare's music when they were killing it in the 16bit era.

[@leonardorosadossantos9876]

Level 2 and 8's drum made my face go >:c (in a good way, if you are a metal head you know exacly what i mean) also i love how 8 turns into black metal right after.

[@cheezkid2689]

Mountain Slayers of the Eagle's Thunder uses, at one point, a riff that sounds incredibly similar to Waster Years by Iron Maiden. I love it.

[@RogueAkai]

Yep! I wanted to do that old DOOM tradition of "taking inspiration from" (read: stealing) riffs from heavy metal. The starting riff is also based heavily on "She's Lost Control" by Joy Division. Since it's not a commercial release I can say that and not get sued, right? 😅

[@Chozo_Ghost]

@@RogueAkai Immediately thought of Wasted Years and "Nightmare" by Crooked X with that riff, but I had no idea the opening riff was Joy Division! All I do know is that I need to hear more of these types of tracks in Doom MIDIs going forward. Absolute jam!

[@TinyGreyOwl]

​@@RogueAkaiThat explains why it gets my blood pumping.

[@Yoba882]

This is amazing! Great work

[@gregoryheidt2746]

Yo, amazing!! Really killing it lately with the solid music making :D

[@sixfootundertheseafloor]

map06 and map05 are my personal favorites if i had to pick 2

[@marcelopardo4791]

Just here casually defeating Plutonia 2 with fast monsters and recording a MIDI at the same time....damn Ducino for president.

[@sleepy5063]

Decino definitely stole the show with Homesick, it's so good.

[@nostrnastr9439]

Replayed all again for this midi

[@gratefulname8359]

I think it's good time to replay the DOOM Classic Saga with these MIDIs

[@mr_beezlebub3985]

I'm loving these midi packs!

[@nicolasamarilesduran5487]

The music is really good just nice as many i would be exited for a thy flesh consumed midi pack just awesome music

[@blackcirnoguro5953]

Homesick is great, but Dry Gulch tho..

[@arcadeguy781]

10000% agreed!!!

[@Destroyah5000]

Shoot, now I really have to give this WAD a go.

[@Destroyah5000]

All done with that first playthrough. This expansion pack definitely does the levels better than the stock Doom II music. I'm gonna have Unbearable Torture stuck in my head for weeks now.

[@Raddaman8000]

God you really didn't skip a beat between the Master Levels midi pack and the NRftL midi pack did you? Now I'm curious if someone could pull off a Thy Flesh Consumed midi pack considering that also just reuses the main game's music, just like ML and NRftL did?

[@expendableround6186]

I second the notion for a TFC MIDI pack.

[@manniacc2681]

@@expendableround6186 Yeah I'd love a Thy Flesh midi pack.

[@manniacc2681]

It'd be neat if it were in the same thrash metal/dark orchestral style of Doom 1's soundtrack too.

For those who still care, there is a full Ultimate Doom MIDI pack in progress that includes Thy Flesh Consumed. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/120788-final-slots-open-ultimate-midi-pack-a-community-music-replacement-for-the-original-doom/

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Close, but not really.

[@michaelbuehler3897]

Great Job! To get this to work with Doom Retro source port load select both the NERVE and the nrftl_midipack_prboomplus at the same time.

[@AmaiReal._.]

wow ost is good

[@Jinx_Skeel]

now this is what I was talking about ehehe

[@windhelmguard859]

This is kinda lit

[@De-M-oN]

Level 2 and 8 are the best because they actually fit to doom. I'm not a fan of all the midis not fitting to hell and doom at all (many megawads have so happy music somehow) Level 2 also has a bit of a TNT feel. Could totally be on a TNT map I really like the intermission too though. It reminds me also of TNT's intermission

[@ichimiustin8390]

When I liked the video, it changed from 665 to 666.

Now this is epic

[@Joe-ut1ie]

very epic

[@quaker2636]

It's a shame the new official port didn't incorporate the community music packs into the game... The Master Levels, Plutonia and NRFTL would have really benefitted from it.

[@Patashu]

oooo

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Cool to see you here, Patashu!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I don't know how you do it, Peter, but you manage to combine the ferocity of TGH's percussion with the lofty feel of stewboy's strings and establish a harmony between those two opposites. Not just here but in many of your other tracks. Is it a conscious effort or does it just come out on its own?

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I ain't heard of either of em so ye I achieve it on my own

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@PeterLawrenceYT Wait wot? You never heard of Eric Baker or Stuart Rynn (respectively)? You're pulling my leg, 🅱eter... If this is legit, then we got a case of convergent evolution. Which is neat.

[@tronotized1]

I really love this soundtrack! I was wondering if I could send you a .cfg file that I set up to get the .ogg soundtrack working on Crispy Doom. I tried creating an account on Doomworld but the website fails to send the confirmation email to me.

[@admiraltaiga1844]

Whoa, this is amazing! Being a lot newer to Doom than most people here (probably), I haven't played many custom wads yet, but this'll certainly be next, complete with new music! Also, I've been meaning to try my hand at composing, seeing as how I've been a musician for a good chunk of my life. What program did you use to make your tracks?

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I personally use FL Studio which has the ability to export MIDIs.

[@admiraltaiga1844]

@@PeterLawrenceYT thanks, I'll check it out!

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

@@admiraltaiga1844 FL Studio is pretty complicated, expensive and overkill if you plan on only making MIDIs with it but it's all I'm familiar with.

[@admiraltaiga1844]

Peter Lawrence hm, I just looked at the price tag, and that’s, uh, a bit pricey, like you said. I’ll probably find another program, but thank you anyways!

[@JDHerreraMusic]

@@admiraltaiga1844 Otherwise you might want to try sekaiju (another free software). That's what I used to make my songs and I've learned how to use it the month before the release, mostly by watching James Paddock's streams on twitch.

[@kaoscorp]

This is fantastic! I replayed No Rest For The Living with the new soundtrack and it was awesome! I know the Doomworld thread has the link to download the midis but is there any way to get the music in MP3 format?

Yup, check the bandcamp link for a free download.

[@kaoscorp]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[@SeanVSOfficial]

Is this going to be a mod to replace the default DOOM II ost (that NRFTL uses, since there is no original ost for NRFTL) with the NRFTL Community MIDI Pack (that would also work with GZ/ZDoom)? If so, I would download it as soon as there is a download link available. This is one of the best Doom midi packs I've ever heard! :D Awesome job guys!

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Check the doomworld thread in description

[@elfera8133]

I'm having issues with loading this WAD with NRFTL. I downloaded the prboom compatible WAD from your doomworld post, and when I launch it with doom explorer, I only get the title music to play, every other midi is from base doom 2. Does anyone else have this issue too?

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

You gotta rename the NERVE.WAD to get PRBOOM to treat it like any other wad.

[@elfera8133]

what should I rename NERVE.wad to?

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

You can rename it to anything, BOLLOCKS.WAD would do the trick.

[@VaterOrlaag]

Very cool. BTW what soundfont did you use to record this? Or was it actual hardware?

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

The stock soundfont that comes with Windows.

[@LinksPB]

@@PeterLawrenceYT Goes to show soundfonts are only as good as the composer uses them to be. Amazing! I tried the MIDIs with my usual SF for playing DOOM and it sounds nothing like it (worse).
