Metblast

Metblast, also known as METBLAST.MID or Metblast.mid, METAL MOSH or Rockin' is a midi file that came with installing Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions. It can only be found in Windows 3.0.

It is an electronic rock styled midi file and was composed in 1991 by Passport Designs.

The song lasts for 2 minutes 05 seconds (2:05). It plays at 130 BPM.

On Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions, with Tandy Demo Utilities when going into the Multimedia Application Demos, and then into Entertainment, and then into Music for Multimedia: Passport, it will load up a Passport Multimedia Music Demo with a midi Jukebox; Metblast will be one of the midi files featured, under the name "Rockin'".

Sadly, it is not played in the video.

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL soundcard such as an OPL3, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi file will download instead)
