    DESIGN KIT (360 Sounds – 60 Files)

    A collection of brutally crafted, drag-and-drop sound effects, organized into game-ready actions and categories.

    • Stab: Precise, piercing attacks with bladed weapons like knives, daggers, and swords.

    • Cut: Clean or messy slices delivered by weapons like katanas, knives, machetes, and sabres.
    • Slam: Heavy, crushing blows with blunt weapons like warhammers, morning stars, flails, crowbars – and even axes used with brute force.
    • Crush: Full-on head or body crushes – whatever happens when too much pressure turns flesh and bone into pulp.
    • Explode: Full-on body explosions – when guts, bones, and blood violently erupt in every direction at once.

    All of these categories are featured in both a realistic, organic style and an exaggerated, highly stylized, over-the-top version.

    In addition the Design Kit features Projectile Impacts from Guns, Shotguns and Arrows.

     

    BUILDING BLOCKS (384 Sounds – 64 Files)

    The goal behind our Building Blocks is to provide pre-designed sound layers that streamline your workflow. We’ve created straightforward, easy-to-use categories that let you quickly build new sounds or enhance your own designs.

    All following categories are available in both Wet and Dry:

    • Impact: Ideal as punchy sweeteners for heavy weapon hits and brutal moments.
    • Whoosh: Quick, clean lead-ins to enhance any kind of gore sound.
    • Crack: Perfect for highlighting the snap of shattered bones and broken bodies.
    • Tail: Drag and drop to add lingering, gruesome sustain to your gore effects.

     

    CONSTRUCTION KIT (2653 Sounds – 483 Files)

    For our Construction Kit, we wanted to give you the best of both worlds to meet (or should we say meat) all your needs. You’ll get cleaned raw recordings for full flexibility in your own processing, plus pre-processed and layered sounds to spark creativity, fuel inspiration, and give you everything you need for hyperrealistic gore design.

    Our Construction Kit includes:

    • Blood: Vile drips, juicy splatters, and bone-chilling squeezes.
    • Gut: Rich with drops, impacts, squishes, and visceral movement.
    • Flesh: Brutal impacts, rips, strains, and movements.
    • Bone: Crisp breaks and sharp snaps.
    • Texture: Hyperrealistic wet and dry constant textures.
    • Weapon: Resonant metal slices, stabs, and hits, as well as whooshes for weapon hits and ricochets.
  • Destruction & Impact Sounds Metamorphosis Play Track 2328 sounds included $190

    Metamorphosis is a huge collection of recorded source, synthesized material and hybrid sounds. The library was created to cover a wide range of themes, with rich textures, aggressive impacts and a large selection of pass bys, bass drops, pyrotechnics and many more types of material.

    All of the Recorded Section was captured at 384KHz with microphones capable of recording up to 200KHz among with more conventional mics. The resulting assets are sounds that can be stretched to new extremes for greater sound design opportunities.
    In many cases I took the liberty to slow down the assets while editing the sounds to deliver what I thought was the most useful version of a given recording though in most cases I have also included other takes at the original 384KHz sample rate to get the best of both worlds.

    All of the Synthesized Content was created in Serum while the Hybrid Section was created by manipulating the Recorded and Synthesized sounds.

    Techniques such as morphing were used to blur the lines in between the nature of the two sources, making for ambiguous yet extremely versatile material that can be employed on both realistic and abstract designs.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
    This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds.
