Voices of War – Men of the North

Voices of War – Men of the North is a Kontakt-based male choir library from Cinesamples, recorded at the legendary MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios. It specializes in a dark, blended Nordic sound, featuring low-voiced baritones singing in a reserved, half-voiced style. The library includes legato, word-building (with Old Norse vocabulary), textures, drones, pads, and ambient patches. The ensemble was captured with a unique binaural head microphone placed in the center, making it especially suited for video game composers and headphone listening. The sound is cinematic and atmospheric, perfect for Viking, fantasy, and historical scoring. It excels at sustained pads and drones, and can carry word-based melodies at mezzo forte. The modwheel around 50-75 provides a rich, colorful tone ideal for simple unisons or fifths. This library is a must-have for composers needing authentic, non-operatic male choir textures.
