STRIKE FEAR WITH THESE VIKING HORNS OF WAR
The Vikings are coming! The horn blasts pierce through the fog as they warn of the coming horrors of war. The shields begin to rattle as the raiders pound them with their swords; they begin to shout, and when the last horn blast has sounded…
These high-quality FREE NORDIC WAR HORNS were recorded at the Stenhamra quarry outside Stockholm, Sweden. The quarry is situated upon the ruins of an old Viking village settled on the route to the spiritual city of Uppsala. To record this pack, we brought in Eilif Gundersen from the band Wardruna, who presented a collection of horns for the library:
Bronze lur – The finest example from the Scandinavian Bronze Age and different notes can be played by over-blowing. We used a replica of a 3,000-year-old horn that’s on display at the National Museum in Copenhagen.
Bukkehorn – One of the oldest kinds of lip-vibrated instruments, this bukkehorn was carved from a billy goat’s horn with finger holes added to make different notes.
Neverlur – This horn is made from slow grown pine. The pine is split into halves, carved out and then kept together with strips of birch bark. This is the most common horn mentioned in the Viking Sagas.
The resulting sounds are perfect for scenes of medieval battle in films and games, or anywhere you need to add a sense of mystic sonic wildness.
The FREE sound effects in this pack can be used anytime you need it. Completely FREE, you’ll always have the license to boom.
