Description:	Doomworld's composers band together to write more another community-made album of custom MIDIs. This time we're writing for one of the original commercial sets - none other than "Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders". The full version of Heretic comes with five full episodes, plus a sixth if you count the three hidden levels - for a total of 48 levels. Amazingly, the number of pieces in the game's soundtrack amounted to less than half that, with a total of 19 unique in-game tracks and 3 more for the title, intermission and story themes. Heretic's soundtrack is a crazy blend of disparate elements combining into the almost inimitable style of Kevin Schilder. With his work in mind, we have once again put our composer hats on, and our skills to the test, to fully expand the soundtrack for Heretic!
