Boom Medieval Melee BUNDLE

From hammers crushing skulls to swords hacking limbs, the medieval period was one of the most brutal in history. MEDIEVAL MELEE captures all the clashing of steel and raw, bone-crunching gore in one of our largest-ever collections of sound effects.

All sounds were recorded either in the pristine sound environment of our studios or onsite in the soot and heat of our sourced armourers. Sounds include various impacts, deflects, equips/un-equips, finishers and more.

INCLUDED SOUNDS - KEYWORDS

Blow, Breaking, Clang, Cloth, Crack, Crunch, Cut, Debris, Gore, Hit, Knife, Metal, Motion, Movement, Rattle, Ringing, Rusty, Scraping, Scratches, Slap, Slide, Tearing, Wooden.

EXTREMELY RAW

The ringing steel and bass-pounding thuds of this collection truly highlight the destructive power of medieval weaponry. With these sounds alone, the full, bloody brutality of combat can truly be felt, if not seen.

FURIOUSLY DETAILED

We used our trusted Sennheiser, Sanken CO-100K and Schoeps mics – to capture all the brutal, crushing detail of these cold iron masterpieces.

SAVAGELY CRISP

Medieval combat has never sounded more real. We traveled across Europe in search of a massive variety of weapons to slam into wood, steel, and more. We even used analogous materials to recreate the sounds of weaponry but in a much bigger, larger-than-life way.

CLANGING IRON

The awesome, deadly power of 10 different weapons and 2 shields – from axes to swords to war hammers is in your hands. Each weapon comes with 12 different files and each shield with 8 different files. Bodies and tails also come in separate files, to allow you to customize the audio wrath.

LAYERED STEEL

Fine Damascus steel was made with up to 300 layers of steel. Though not quite as complex as these notable blades, our sound designers cleaved into their creativity to forge new sounds and capture the truest edge of each weapon.

BRUTAL BLADES

The GORE sounds of stabs and slices bring out the complete sound for the Designed pack. Perfect for video games where total immersion has become a requirement. These sounds have already been given the full, carnal power necessary to create that full Hollywood sound and are ready to use in your project without any further editing.

THE BUNDLE – The best of both worlds at a discounted price.

The Bundle gives you the full range of clashing steel and bone-crunching gore as it contains both – the DESIGNED and the CONSTRUCTION KIT edition at a discounted price.

WHAT WE RECORDED

We searched across Europe for the best armourers we could find. When that epic journey ended, we even dug through scrapyards and archeological sites. All this to capture as realistically as possible the sounds of medieval close-quarters combat. Ranged weapons were not included, only the raw brutality of hand-held steel and iron. For each weapon category, we recorded a variety of sounds, including whooshes, deflects, equips/unequips, finishers, impacts, impacts, and more.
