Metal MIDI

"Yes! This is the website! You have never seen something so evil in your life!" - Joel from Vinesauce on his old Windows 98 Destruction Video

Metal Midi is a midi download site that is dedicated to midi files based on well known Metal Music and is one of the surviving 90s style websites found online.

Metal MIDIs used to be under a different URL, using Webs (formerly Freewebs). However, it was soon changed and is now found under an archive name.

1st Visit
Joel from Vinesauce stumbled upon this website during his original Windows 98 Destruction video, and got excited by the skull candles animated gif.

He then downloaded a midi file called Slayer-Angel Of Death.mid. His Windows 98's midi driver wasn't working though, so the midi file played no sound.

However, someone in the video chat gave him an .mp3 recording, and played the song while drawing an upside-down crucifix and angry face in Microsoft Paint.

In the end, the midi was deleted off of his Windows 98 due to deleting his System32 folder, in order to finish the video with a bang.

2nd Visit
In Joel's Windows XP Destruction, he visits the website to download yet another Slayer Midi file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy318EfvbCM&t=2538.

He downloads Slayer-Raining Blood.mid. As he listens to it, he compares the midi file to the ones heard in the videogame, Doom, where interestingly, Slayer Raining Blood was planned to be a song used in Doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy318EfvbCM&t=2558.

Later on (2:48 into the midi), the midi file becomes chaotic and the Overdriven Guitar and the 2nd Distortion Guitar in the midi file begin to pitch-bend dramatically as Joel is able to find and download Bonzi Buddy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy318EfvbCM&t=2672

Because Joel knows how annoying Bonzi is going to be, he begins to question if it is the computer's painful screams: "I can't tell if it's a Slayer solo or my computer screaming in agony as I'm downloading this; take a listen...it's like "''No, what are you doing! Noooooo!''""

The midi file ends the moment Bonzi Buddy finishes downloading.
