Trailers from Mythical Nordic Lands: Northguard – Viking & Warlike Themes

By Sarah Scarlata

Visual storytelling takes us to faraway places alive and well in the realm of mythology and fantasy. This exciting world can include dragons, Vikings, battles for survival, and vast lands that we could only paint with our imaginations. These stories lend themselves to the best movie trailer music around that makes these mythical realms become vivid realities.

Cezame Trailers’ newest release Northguard – Viking & Warlike Themes, is an exciting and powerful album that combines traditional Scandinavian instruments like the hardanger fiddle, munnharppe, and zither with modern trailer percussion and dramatic elements. These compositions are crafted to meet the needs of modern trailer editing with stems, 3-part structures with big epic backends, and sound design. These moods of mystery capture your imagination and build into warlike conclusions. They are adventures in themselves and evoke strong warlike imagery.

Some track highlights include:

CEZ_CET_9075_01001 The Way of Viking

Trailers often tell stories upon themselves with scene-setting opens, captivating imagery for middles, and exciting climactic endings. Northguard – Viking & Warlike Themes achieves this concept in spades and creates expansive, dramatic musical tapestries building with satisfying conclusions. This marriage of traditional world music with modern trailer sensibilities adds authenticity to any production. The traditional instrumental stems and tribal vocalizations could stand alone and serve as indicators of location.

Follow your sense of adventure and explore these ancient soundscapes for yourself.
