Ominous, atmospheric piano-led piece for building tension and pace.

Ominous piano piece with a dark sense of foreboding.

Dark, driving piano piece in the style of music from Nordic Noir films and thrillers such as Line Of Duty. The sinister chromatic chord progressions and driving arpeggios suggest a sense of impending danger and doom and would make the perfect accompaniment for scary, tense moments as well as scenes of despair and defeat.
