Corruption Magic

Rites of Spreading Decay Power

Twisted casts, unstable energies, and oozing decay portray magic that festers, spreads, and devours from within.

Ritual invocations, fractured motions, and grave presence convey magic rooted in ritual and cost.

"Great depth and also an overriding sense of the quality and depth of sound.

There’s just so much stuff in SCORCHED and so many elements that inspire as starting points.

Awesome for any type of aggressive trailer, promo work and horror as well. Everything hangs together in terms of its sound world and purpose, naming and branding."

"I'm amazed at the size and quality of this first release.

Scorched delivers on so many levels, adding depth, realism, and edge to any track.

As a trailer composer, it’s quickly become one of my go-to libraries, especially for its braams and percussion loops - sounds you just can’t get from standard virtual instruments."
