About this sound

✦ AI

A heavy angry metal trailer hit from Epidemic Sound with distorted riffs and triplet drums, used for intense intros, boss fights and hype edits.

This is a short, aggressive metal trailer cue built around chugging distorted guitars, pounding triplet drums and a dark, rising tension. The riff hits in tight, staccato bursts rather than a full song, so it feels like a warning or a charge into battle. There is no vocal, just low, gritty guitar tone, heavy kick and crashing accents that get louder and more urgent. It leaves viewers braced for action, danger or a reveal, which is why editors use it to make an ordinary moment feel suddenly threatening, powerful and over the top.

The clip comes from an Epidemic Sound trailer cue titled Angry Metal Triplet Trailer No9 T30, written as library music for film, game and online video promos. Its triplet rhythm and chugging metal guitars follow the modern trailer style of short, escalating hits designed to sell scale and danger in seconds. Shared on soundboards as angry metal, it spread beyond trailers into gaming edits, sports hype videos and meme remixes where a sudden burst of aggression is the joke or the payoff, and it remains a quick shorthand for intensity.
