The Rebirth is a 32-level megawad released by Björn Ostmann (Vader) in July of 2003. A bugfixed version was released a few weeks afterwards.

It features—next to the 32 new maps—sprite modifications for the baron of Hell and the Zombieman, as well as complete replacements of the Wolfenstein SS into a Snowman and Commander Keen into Mario.

In April 2020, a MIDI pack for it was released, replacing all tracks except those for maps 3, 10, 12, 15, and 32.
