Royalty Free Suspense Music

A playful and curious orchestral theme with tribal African percussion and orchestral string pizzicato hits

Atmospheric soundscape. Eerie sounding, and slightly sinister in feeling, it creates an impending tension through drones, dissonant tones and high pitched sounds before breaking into a pulsing section with sub bass hits and shrill synth textures. Dangerous and full of suspense, it paints an uneasy picture of unknown worlds and lurking doom.

An epic tension builder. Gritty synths, hard hitting percussion and an industrial feel give way to a more orchestral hybrid sound of ostinato strings, braams and taiko drums, growing in intensity all the time to a drop out and final climactic hit. Intense, powerful and spine tingling.

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.

Action/fantasy hybrid orchestral track. Fast, skittish passages contrast with sweeping legato for a dynamic and fast moving feel, further helped by a dramatic percussive beat. Highly charged and tense throughout, only pausing for breath at the midpoint and the outro, it sets a mysterious, nervous mood full of cinematic suspense.

Epic and aggressive trailer music. Short and direct, you get big drum impacts boosted by distorted synth, developing into a warped and intense theme with accented string shorts. Cinematic and industrial with a powerful rhythmic beat, it's not going to fit with anything less than 'giant' on the awesome scale.

A funky jazz instrumental reminiscent of classic spy movie themes

Ethereal light orchestral piece for strings, piano and harp. Starting with a magical, fantasy feel through high legato strings and fast harp, it soon turns to a more mystical orchestration, melancholic cello becoming more prominent, and introducing a stately motif - something that is boldly developed into a majestic statement as the flow of the music unwinds. Peaceful and steady, while maintaining the grandeur and wonder of an unknown infinite universe, it's a gentle study of questions without answers.

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.

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.

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.

Fast moving orchestral track. High paced due to the continuous underlying percussion and string ostinato that drives it, the main themes appear through the legato strings, perfectly complemented by interwoven brass and woodwind lines. Key modulations help reset the progression of each section for a continued growth in intensity, setting an unrelenting, hectic mood of suspense, action, mystery and drama.

Epic cinematic rock track. Go heavy on the sub bass and overdriven synths, add some wild growls and a rock steady drum beat, then twist in some dramatic effects to turn the savage dial up to 10. Sinister goings-on from a warped perspective in the darkest of post apocalyptic times. Did I forget to mention the creepy girl whispering in your ear? She didn't forget about you, and she's watching from the shadows.........

Rhythmically and musically diverse orchestral piece. Interesting to the point of experimentation due to the dissonances and jerky rhythms, it is inherently a classically inspired composition with 20th Century music influences. A sense of the bizarre mixed with battle drum percussion, you have fast, chaotic woodwinds interjecting with off beat brass stabs and a prominent choir echoing and mirroring the main themes. A strong military feel, with a mix of gothic darkness and mischeivous endeavour in a cinematic package.

With a title like this, you've probably guessed what to expect, and you're right: a happy-go-lucky ukulele track with an super catchy glockenspiel melody, perfect for summer picnic moods. In fact, what you really get is a gritty, intense dark noise horror track full of twisted sounds and gruelling vocal samples. It's a slow burning, dark and subtle piece, gradually evolving through deep drones and interjected sound design elements, creating a lurking presence with a dose of spine-chilling suspense. Very atmospheric and deeply disturbing.

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

Edgy orchestral track. Starting with a fast moving string theme and percussion, deep chimes ring in the ominous dread approaching. Building in intensity, and dropping out, become able suspense techniques throughout, as does contrasting the doom with light playful passages on strings, woodwinds or xylophone. Slurred legato violins apply textured expression and rich brass adds an aggressive feel to create a dramatic, mysterious and epic composition.

Threatening and relentless cellos combined with heavy percussions come together in this fast-paced track.

Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

With an urban music style and powerful orchestral elements this electronic track displays an epic transformation.
