Royalty Free Suspense Music

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.

Imperial sounding orchestral epic. Fanfare brass, snare drum and crashing gongs give a military feel, the strings adding a further cinematic depth to the piece with fast runs and ostinato passages. A touch of fantasy is brought in by the harp in an otherwise scene-setting track of determined grandeur and combative qualities, mixing calmer reflection with aggression.

Creepy melodies, weird sounds and disturbing noises designed to create a send of dread. Featuring scary strings, music box and rhythmic synths to drive it on, it lies somewhere between a deranged ethnic ensemble and a contemporary, cinematic action tension builder. A little bit different, and all the better for it, whilst maintaining its roots in the cinematic horror camp.

Hauntingly epic violin track - but so much more. Starting off in an ambient, lonely mood, with echoing harmonics and tremolos, it builds through a modern, contemporary drama style of arpeggiated progressions to an all out cinematic attack of grandiose strings and brass to hit those epic heights. Only boosted further with percussion, it never leaves behind its underlying solitary violin voice which relentlessly charges on in the background despite the rising orchestra. Emotive and evocative, it paints a dynamically lush and dramatic landscape.

An epic orchestral track with increasing intensity brass horns and powerful, heart-pounding percussion

Trippy, dissonant mindscrew spanning the full stereo spectrum to leave your ears wondering what goes where. Simple, repeated piano motifs get layered with sub bass, sound design elements and rhythmic pulses to destabilise and agitate the natural flow of things, whilst somehow managing to stay coherent, albeit in a creepy, foreboding way. An unusual soft soundscape with momentum and tension.

Powerful orchestral track, energised by jagged rhythms, varied dynamics, and pounding percussion. All the elements of an action epic are here: string ostinato, percussive hits, brass swells, legato string themes, interjecting woodwind runs, and more. Lots of ebb and flow as the music skilfully grows in intensity, only to drop and reset for another hit, creating a piece that is dramatic, adventurous and full of suspense.

An majestic string orchestra theme with powerful timpani strikes and an epic feeling

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.

Ambient tension builder and countdown, with a very time-based, percussive feel. Lightweight and unobtrusive, yet intense enough to generate a feeling of time pressure, it uses a clicking beat, digital style arpeggio background, a repeated xylophone motif and a soft pad to create a short theme perfect for news themes, audio logos and quiz countdowns.

Dark and moody piano instrumental, created as a perfect tension builder with electro splatterings and shimmering overtones. Plenty of sound design elements and creeping pulses add interest and drive to generate the brooding ambient soundscape, without losing its main core of fragile, haunting pianowork that binds it all together. Gentle and mysterious with an underlying sinister feel.

Heroic cinematic track based around animated string ostinatos. Mid paced for a sense of majesty and glory, it has a strong sense of the epic, with sweeping brass lines and booming percussion being driven by the ever pushing strings and taikos. Uplifting, inspiring and powerful, it shines a beacon of light into a tension filled arena.

Stylish take on a trap beat. Featuring a classic hip hop/trap beat, the instrumentation gives a more cinematic feel, with ambient, reverbed piano themes and orchestral string backing. It is the synth lead however that is the most prominent, as it interplays with the deep bass, chord stabs and vocal samples to create a mysterious sounding track, fresh and intriguing with a sense of curiosity.

Modern trap/hip hop track with a prominent 80s style synth lead. Mixing the 2 styles creates a mysterious ambiguity, the modern laid back urban beat constantly being questioned by the retro-futuristic sounds of the synth. Add in the warped vocal samples, breaks and textures, and you get a slightly dark, stylish track with sinister yet chilled undertones.

With a Spanish touch, this adventurous soundtrack describes an epic story of comradery. Featuring Spanish guitar and cello.

Hybrid orchestral track with a dark and melancholic feeling. The texture evolves, becoming more dense at the end.

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

A tense action epic. The title may be a bit misleading if you're expecting the classic John Williams score, but there's certainly dramatic tension and plenty of big screen atmosphere. Accentuated off-beat rhythms using percussion and strings, raspy brass swells and enhancing woodwinds all contribute to an edgy, pointed piece with a dark and sinister side.

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.
