About this album

Chapter 8 : String Stabs is a 15-song album from VITAL, released in 2021. It's orchestral and film score, dark, mysterious and dramatic, built on strings, synth and drones. The songs run 85 to 160 BPM, in keys like F minor, C# minor and A minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (drones, strings and percussion) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
