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.
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.
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.
"Staccato Slaughter" is an extremely fitting title. Once again, you absolutely crushed this, this time more in terms of pulling together so much talent
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).
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.
I love Dry Gulch so much! Starts out slow, but then ramps up significantly! Fantastic MIDI pack to everyone involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
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/
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? 😅
@@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!
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.
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.
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
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.
I remember playing no rest for the living map 1 when I only had the demo of doom 2 on the 360 good times and a fun deathmatch map i know it like that back of my hand
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 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.
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?
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!
@@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.
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?
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!
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.
@@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).
Not going to bother with Spotify for my MIDI stuff. Master Levels are up in Bandcamp. And I'm considering bandcamp for this too with the option to pay turned off.
@@PeterLawrenceYT bandcamp would also be awesome, also I didn't know the master levels were on bandcamp now I can stream it on the go thanks a ton for these projects can't wait to see what's next!
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?

I feel the urge to give this pack a shot, after always hearing "Into Sandy's City" in a majority of the maps....
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.
Awesomesauce!
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.
I'll try posting this on the Bethesda forums just for a shot at it.
That I can wholesomely agree, although the option to keep the Doom II tracks must still be possible.
Obligatory "Mountain Slayers of the Eagle's Thunder appreciation" comment
\,,,/ \,,,/
beginning of track 1 sounds like cheeks are being clapped
Decino always slaps demon cheeks
dummy thicc
here for them _CYBER GLUTES_ 🚀🍑👌
Wow, this is great stuff. Decino's track especially, I'm a sucker for lofty melancholy in my midis
I love decino's use of scale arpegios and doted eight notes.
@@KeksimusMaximus Yeah, yeah, you just feel the need to shit on decino for no damn reason, don't you? Pathetic!
@@binzero3935 don't take the bait, mate.

Damn dude, Bloo hit it out of the fucking park. A blast beat in a midi? First time I've heard that one!
Came here from MtPain27's vid about nrftl, good stuff!
Sego's Level 5 is my favorite, followed by JD Herrerra's Level 3. The whole midi pack makes NRFTL so much more enjoyable.
Decino's track is LITT
I love how the logo's rotation coincides with the track length. Awesome music btw!
When the decino make music!
Once I got to Inferno of Blood, Staccato Slaughter slapped harder than should be humanly possible.
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.

Decino's piece: too amazing for words
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.
Decino made the first track?? Holy shit, no wonder it's my favorite lol
Decino & Megasphere music is great as Heck! Absolutely my favourite track
I love Dry Gulch so much! Starts out slow, but then ramps up significantly! Fantastic MIDI pack to everyone involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why am I not surprised that decinos track is super atmospheric haha all great tracks guys!
Absolutely obsessed with Staccato Slaughter
Wonderfully suits the maps, I can imagine them to be more fun as a result.
I gotta say I enjoyed NRFTL more than vanilla DOOM 2. And this magnificent masterpiece did a great part of it.
Loving MAP09's track!
Staccato Slaughter is something else man, great midi pack.
Just here casually defeating Plutonia 2 with fast monsters and recording a MIDI at the same time....damn Ducino for president.
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?
I second the notion for a TFC MIDI pack.
@@expendableround6186 Yeah I'd love a Thy Flesh midi pack.
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.

@@continuum_mid Thanks! I checked it out and it's pretty rad!
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.

decino's track is legit man. I get proper nostalgic listening to it.
Decino's track is such a vibe.
Long Live Doom and this amazing community, thank you for this great pieces of music.
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.
decino did a great job with his Midi (Homesick) i love it
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.
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.
map09's track is really good
Thanks dude
This is amazing! Great work
3:33 I can’t get over how fucking good decino’s track is
He keeps coming with the hits
Nice
Yo, amazing!! Really killing it lately with the solid music making :D
Homesick is great, but Dry Gulch tho..
10000% agreed!!!
Decino definitely stole the show with Homesick, it's so good.
I think it's good time to replay the DOOM Classic Saga with these MIDIs
Replayed all again for this midi
The music is really good just nice as many i would be exited for a thy flesh consumed midi pack just awesome music
map06 and map05 are my personal favorites if i had to pick 2
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.
I'm loving these midi packs!
Just today I realized that you can hear Nobody Told Me About Id at 38:30 - those five notes use the same melody
Close, but not really.
Shoot, now I really have to give this WAD a go.
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.
All top notch.
wow ost is good
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
Amazing
Why is this sounds like goomguy's last goodbye, like "listen soldier, im tired to slay the demons, please let me go..."
Well it's called "No Rest For The Living". Doomguy can't catch a break.
@@PeterLawrenceYT now i feel bad for him, but if i still remember, in ancient gods part 2 he finally took a... eternal break...
This is kinda lit
When I liked the video, it changed from 665 to 666.
now this is what I was talking about ehehe
This is damn good you guys. . .
Decino's track is S U B L I M E
This is really good, holy moly
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.
I❤NRFTL
Man oh man! This is good
I remember playing no rest for the living map 1 when I only had the demo of doom 2 on the 360 good times and a fun deathmatch map i know it like that back of my hand
in the words of gordon freeman:
Gorgeous...
Good to go!
First track is winded with the Dusk game, isn't it?
Now this is epic

how about Doom 1 soundtrack remake next?
Is good
oooo

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