Cymbals From Hell is the seminal collection of bowed metal sound effects, crafted from recordings of both natural and broken cymbals. Bringing you the nastiest, gnarliest, and harshest set of design elements and raw recordings. Their dynamic range provides a palette that evolves and adapts over time.
All of the sounds have been recorded in a controlled studio environment and played by a professional percussionist, with the intention of providing the most dynamic range and disturbing playing style. Our Audio Craftsmen then meticulously designed and edited every included sound from the bizarre to the downright horrifying.
Cymbals From Hell contains a total of 197 files running at a huge 8.9GB. This library gives you everything you need to create compelling Horror and Sci-Fi soundscapes and add accents to your music, ideal for use in a wide range of projects. All sounds have been recorded in 24bit 96khz for further manipulation, and have been carefully edited so that you can easily drop them into your project timeline and get working right away.
Here are the included folders:
Bowed Cymbals: Harsh and dynamic bowed cymbals, perfect for musical or sound effects accenting.
Time Bending Risers: Sharp risers that have a feeling of movement in time.
Pulsating Dread Pads: The perfect Horror backdrops, built from organic elements.
Mind Bender Stingers: Warped cymbal effects that are equally at home in a Sci-Fi or Horror tracklay.
Metallic Oscillation Pads: The direct opposite of a Meditation Bowl, these sounds oscillate and move in an unnerving way.
Head Shaker Drones: Grit your teeth and cover your ears, these sounds warn of impending doom.
Gut Rumbler Subs: How low can we go? Very low. These sounds sit nicely under your tracklay and provide some serious sub frequencies.
Disturbing Risers: Distorted and mangled, these cymbals are bound to accent any jump scare with a dose of disturbing!
Bowed Alien Metals: Otherwordly vibes fused with a classic staple Horror sound.
Just add some compression and pitch around. Lots of gush.
I used a Schoeps as well as some large diaphragm microphones to create multiple layers of gore. These are not designed but instead recorded from multiple positions so they can be built into a deep bloody mess.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
