Vile Flesh MIDI zip

I'm sorry for bumping a thread that is 7 years old, but it's about something very important to me, and I would like to contribute a link for anybody in the future who found this thread like I did. I literally made an account on here just to reply to this; I am aware of the standard etiquette of the Internet on other forums, but I feel that necro'ing this is worth the mild annoyance and eye-rolling of the other users here.

When I was maybe 7 years old, my best friend introduced me to Doom. My father (shortly after I was introduced to the game) downloaded a small set of WAD files from the community for me to play, should I want to try other levels.

I didn't know who any of these authors were at the time, but I grew up on their content for over 16 years. I hope this helps some Doom authors realize how much impact their work can have.

There are a few people on this forum who have contributed significantly to my childhood memories, and I remember their works with the sort of nostalgia that people may remember a childhood home. One of these people is Gwyn Williams, author of my all-time favorite WAD "Vile Flesh", which I have played for years and years. This WAD's position as my personal favorite can absolutely be chalked up to nostalgia bias, and I am very self-aware of that.

I thought I might try to contact him to thank him for his work, but it doesn't seem he's active anymore.

I found this thread in my search, however, and I still have a copy of the Vile Flesh midi files (which my father probably downloaded on a whim at the time). I have actually been making music covers of these songs for personal synth programming practice for a long time. I re-zipped them here for you. there is no meta-data as far as I can tell, and the Doom Wiki states that the songs were not given names.

I grew up on this WAD's soundtrack; it is very important to me because of that, and I hope this helps other people find it.

This WAD (and others) inspired me to make my own levels, and it created a love for the game with another close friend of mine, and we would send each other our levels over email to challenge and one-up each other all throughout elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and onward.

It's crazy for me to see posts which were written online before I really knew what the outside world was, and when my only concern was who I would talk to in kindergarten class that day, and now I have a partner, have left college, and am moving out to an apartment. I would consider myself incredibly lucky if anything I've posted online has even a fraction of such an impact on others, like how some Doom WADs have had on me.
