Description
Runtime of 5:41
Genre is more of like an eerie vibe for the first two, but the last one has more of an epic soundtrack/ cinematic sound.
I mainly used Kontakt for most of my tracks, and software for mixing and mastering is done by iZotope plugins like Neutron and Ozone.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I was going for a more eerie/ native folklore type of sound. Since the inspiration photo provided, seemed like it was someone from a tribe, and natives are very known to be spiritual.

Really intense and awesome drum sound, I feel it gives this ost a strong foundation. Really like the lingering sounds and the sense of build up the first track has. The second track had a sense of DOOM (2016) soundtrack in the beginning. This is definitely one of my favorites of this jam!
Haunted Trees - Amazing sound design. Those drums are amazing and I just love how that ambience just keeps creeping in. That pitching instrument also kicks ass.
Taken By Spirits - Again, great sound design. This track really feels like a natural continuation of the previous as things are just progressively getting worse. Again, excellent drums, excellent sound design. Love the addition of the strings to drive the darkness home even a bit more. Then the choirs. Yeaaaah, super solid!
The Forest Has An Evil Soul - Oooh, love the throaty choir. The very first few seconds make me think of Inscryption. It reminded me of the Trapper song. Then those creepy higher pitched vocals. Magnificent work. Again, excellent work on the percussion as well. Love that little distorted bass synth that shreds in briefly. Everything just fits and builds to an amazing climax.
Amazing soundtrack. Love how cohesive and creepy it is. Definitely sold the mood to me.
Super epic, perfect for trailer music, nice mix well balanced. Good arrangment, nicely done, good job !
whaa, that's so epic. and good mixing and composition ! Was very nice listening to it! :)
Some savage drums there. I love the energy! Taken by Spirits gave me goosebumps.
I really loved the impact that the drums had on the tracks in setting the intensity of the rhythm which I could almost feel lost within. Definitely caught the tribal vibes. My favourite of the three was 'Taken By Spirits'
I agree with bdubose's comment, this does feel very cinematic!
This would be good for a game, but it really sounds like a film soundtrack! Nice job!
