Product Description
From hammers crushing skulls to swords hacking limbs, the medieval period was one of the most brutal in history. Boom Library MEDIEVAL MELEE captures all the clashing of steel and raw, bone-crunching gore in one of Boom Library's largest-ever collections of sound effects.
All sounds were recorded either in the pristine sound environment of Boom Library's studios or onsite in the soot and heat of their sourced armourers. Sounds include various impacts, deflects, equips/un-equips, finishers and more.
MEDIEVAL MELEE CONSTRUCTION KIT
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
Boom used their 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. Boom traveled across Europe in search of a massive variety of weapons to slam into wood, steel, and more. They even used analogous materials to recreate the sounds of weaponry but in a much bigger, larger-than-life way.
WHAT WAS RECORDED?
Boom searched across Europe for the best armourers they could find. When that epic journey ended, they 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 there are a variety of sounds, including whooshes, deflects, equips/unequips, finishers, impacts, impacts, and more.
WHAT MAKES MEDIEVAL MELEE SPECIAL?
