Viking war trumpets (horns). Horns, horns, horns, the horns of war were vaguely heard. With this FREE tool, you’ll hear the “great horns of the north blowing wildly” as you recall great medieval battle scenes like those in The Lord of the Rings and Vikings.
These horn sounds were captured outside at the Stenhamra Quarry near Stockholm, Sweden. On the ancient route to the revered city of Uppsala, it was an important waypoint for many Viking travelers. And it also provided us with the perfect atmosphere and reflection for our recordings.
The library is supposedly “free”, but you can’t get it on the official website just for beautiful eyes – it is given as a bonus when purchasing any Sonuscore library as part of the Black November Sale 2023!
