Royalty Free Dark / Somber Music

A tense and anxious cinematic synth sequence. Building from a pulsing bass start, and adding dramatic percussive hits and impacts, the slow crescendo of a riser and dissonant cluster signals the impending climax and subsequent unexpected cutoff. Full of suspense and nervous energy for those stressful situations.

A hard hitting, cinematic powerhouse of a track - epic in nature but with an added dissonance to turn the feeling away from the usual majesty and heroism and towards the unnerving, foreboding and impending aggression. Massive drum hits, solid brass punches and a relentless synth bass pulse converge with ever growing marcato strings to develop into a solid paced expression of force.

A light acoustic track with ghostly theremin synth lead and arpeggiated acoustic guitar. Builds up only slightly through added piano and percussion. A little dark and mysterious in feeling, with hints of optimism.

Dreamy, ethereal soundscape with a lo-fi vintage tonal vibe mixed with filtered synth and spacey, reverbed guitar lines. Anchored by a soft beat, the rest floats above as the shimmers, echoes and delays meld together in a timeless, carefree web of delicate, enchanted daydreaming.

Moody tension builder that constantly shifts direction and flavour whilst maintaining its gripping minimalist core. Based around a light, bouncing piano motif, the key changes, instrumentation and electro sound design regularly turn down a side street as the music tries to evade being locked down to any single identity. Mysterious, intriguing and almost playfully evasive, it's an ambient piece that keeps you on your toes whilst sitting confidently in the background.

Dreamy, spaced out indie ballad. Unhurried and intimate, the soulful vocals float over a lazy backing of drums, bass, guitar and theremin to form a hypnotic and repetetive experience. Super chilled and easy going, with smooth, intimate vocal harmonies and melodies, it's one to take your time with on your long journey into outer space.

Cinematic dubstep with a promise to explode - but doesn't. A great tension builder with a foreboding intensity that grows through palm muted electric guitars, epic horns and synth textures. Mixing orchestral themes with aggressive rock and a slamming beat generates the powerful anticipation. After that, it's up to you where you position it, but it can hit hard.

Dramatic orchestral hybrid. Epic percussion, soaring strings and aggressive brass combine for a theme that's as mysterious as it is glorious. A delicate midsection of keyboard, strings and textures provides a serene contrast and a vehicle to build the music to its intense climax of percussive hits, string runs and fast brass passages. Subtly finished with a light arpeggiated piano theme, it's a dynamically diverse piece covering many moods, but always within the realm of intense cinematic action.

Melancholic ambience with an indie chill vibe. Blending reverbed guitar with synth pads for an airy, spacey feel creates a bed of dark warmth for the female vocal to glide on. With a simple drum loop adding motion, or a more epic rock beat adding drama, it gently sways between pensively moody and upliftingly epic, all while keeping a controlled thoughtfulness and haunting atmospheric beauty to the music.

Relentlessly marching forward like a futuristic army of committed androids, this hybrid track creates that militant backdrop of sinister suspense, juxtaposed with a subtle angelic command hovering above. More of an imposing action vibe than a melodic theme, it has a confrontational and impending feel about it in a traditionally cinematic style, adding synth elements to blend with an industrial, technological future.

A mysterious mix of classical and electronic styles to create a solemn, ambient vibe. A pulsing kick drum beat adds tension and movement under the suspense of light strings and an enchanting female vocal melody, enhanced by light brass, harp and vibraphone to blossom into the finale. Dreamily dark, sinisterly intriguing and a little bit mesmerizing.

Dark and ambient cinematic hybrid, featuring eerie pads and synths. Starting from a gritty soundscape of synth drones and warped effects, it flourishes into a more melodic theme of bright, open chords and subtle background string ostinato - an airy, euphoric release from the tension generated either side of it, as the return of the edgy darkness takes over once again. Futuristic and downtempo atmospheres with a haunting beauty.

The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

Symphonic fantasy epic. Enchanting and ominous in equal measure, it's a piece full of grandeur with choral melodies accompanied by ever progressing string and brass themes to build to a fulfilling climax. Gentle and lilting only for the start and short ending, the more prominent mood is tension and ever increasing intensity.

Dramatic and tense orchestral trailer music. Great variety and build up thanks to the dynamic instrumentation and rhythms, from deep string shorts to trombone slides, violin marcato passages to industrial percussive impacts and choral backing to piano hits, it's all there. Slightly dark with an aggressive sense of action and suspense, it's hybrid cinematic music doing its atmospheric best.

A dark, unsettling ambient cinematic soundscape, with ethereal textured synth pads and distant thunders. Slightly ethnic thanks to the bamboo flute that seeps through the mist, and slightly enchanted thanks to the shimmering synth strings, it has a peaceful spirituality about it whilst keeping a mysterious edginess.

Epic trailer music. Very epic. Starting calmly with synth pulses and atmospheric tension, it builds through powerful strings and percussive hits to become something else altogether grander. Add in the searing brass a choir and you're hitting next level drama. Melodic and powerful with a hybrid undertone throughout, it's a great example of fantastical action music.

Ghostly goings-on, devilish delights and frolicking phantoms reign in this playful track. Is there an eerie theremin? Of course there is. Is there a toy piano? Of course. Pizzicato strings? Yep. Plodding brass bass line? Sure. Cackling spectres in the background? Don't mind if I do. Hard house rave beat? Don't be ridiculous, that really wouldn't help - we're going for spooky 'what's creeping up on me' with this track and you won't be disappointed. Unless they see you from the shadows.

Dark, enchanted orchestral theme. Slightly exotic melodies and off beat rhythms create unease and a sense of the bizarre, all to a backdrop of tribal percussion. Choral wails and brass stabs interrupt the flow to further unsettle things and fast string themes impose the aggression in this mid tempo piece of symphonic tension. Dynamic in rhythm, instrumentation and mood, with a sinister overall edge.

Sad, sombre and emotional music. Melancholy, moving dramatic orchestra with a subtle backing choir building to a resolution.
