Four epic action soundtracks with a massive, orchestral hybrid sound.

Thundering drums, percussive synths, distorted guitar riffs and dynamic string parts create a sense of momentum, darkness and high tension, often with builds to cliffhangers and dissonances. These pieces will fit action scenes, epic trailers and tense moments perfectly, with influences including Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams.

These pieces could accompany:

- epic action scenes
- futuristic war films
- aggressive battle scenes
- action sequences in video games

Including:

Percussive Epic Hybrid Action – 2:53 (starts at 0:00)
Massive action packed soundtrack with an epic feel.

This sweeping orchestral hybrid track features tense percussion, crunching guitars and epic orchestral backing. It will make a great accompaniment to epic action sequences, battle scenes and video games.

Fast-Paced Action Sequence – 1:26 (starts at 2:53)
Aggressive, percussive soundtrack for action films.

This tense, epic orchestral hybrid track is the perfect match for suspenseful scenes in thrillers and dramas. With driving percussion, snappy electric guitars and plenty of unpredictable twists and turns, this piece will enliven and electrify your trailers or chase and fight sequences.

Virtual Dystopia – 3:13 (starts at 4:19)
Fast paced, electronic action soundtrack.

Ethereal choirs, scurrying arpeggiated synths and brooding percussion make this track suitable as a tense accompaniment to climactic scenes in sci-fi, futuristic or dystopian films or games. A dark minor chord structure gives the piece a sinister edge, and the continually shifting textures suggest a sense of tension and uncertainty. Reminiscent of certain action film scores by composers such as Hans Zimmer, this piece will help you achieve an epic, futuristic and somewhat dystopian quality in your project.

Tense Chase – 1:52 (starts at 7:32)
Frantic, aggressive, violent and unsettling hybrid track.

In this frantic, unsettling and exciting piece, a quiet, menacing intro from a gamelan percussion section gives way to a tribal mass of pounding drums, walls of guitar feedback and overlapping, tumbling phrases, setting an epic, unrelenting pace and a violent tone. The piece, which is reminiscent of some of Hans Zimmer’s action soundtracks (and contemporary action Hollywood blockbuster film music in general), is a great choice for a battle scene or a chase on an epic scale of suspense and tension. Edgy, unique, rhythmic and unpredictable: these qualities are collected together in this instrumental and will make your project powerful and visceral in its delivery. The gamelan percussion section adds an exotic quality to the music which makes it particularly suited to action scenes taking place in a far eastern metropolis.
