Tonsturm 15 - Gore & Slaughter

Gore & Slaughter features all the sounds you need to design scenes of carnage and mutilation: splattering and spilling blood, bone breaks, flesh ripping, skinning, slithering-slimy textures and corps bursting cracks. With this library they wanted to create a true  testament to the gore and splatter genre. They felt there was a need for rich, convincing and detailed sounding splatter sfx that play with a wide range of carefully chosen organic textures. After a lot of research they realised that they wanted to work with real pig blood, specific seafood and mammal guts. They also accompanied a professional and licensed hunter during the procedure of deer skinning. These selected animal foods allowed us to record and perform the most horrifying sound effects that to our knowledge are not reproducible with breaking vegetables.
