Quote: 'This is a very light attempt at making a somewhat realistic sound effect that conveys what World War One artillery barrages sounded like. Sound effects taken from an old Iraq War video of US artillery falling down on insurgent position, videos of artillery shellings from Syria and ambient artillery barrage sound effect.'
I simply added some footage from the movie Stosstrupp 1917, which can be viewed here (with subs): • Stosstrupp 1917 (Shock...

"The watch hands moved round; we counted off the last few minutes. At last, it was five past five. The tempest was unleashed. A flaming curtain went up, followed by unprecedentedly brutal roaring. A wild thunder, capable of suppressing even the loudest detonations in its rolling, made the earth shake. The gigantic roaring of the innumerable guns behind us was so atrocious that even the greatest of the battles we had experienced seemed like a tea party in comparison.”
“Ahead of us rumbled and thundered artillery fire of a volume we had never dreamed of; a thousand quivering lightnings bathed the western horizon in a sea of flame.”

Head and ears ached violently, and we could only make ourselves understood by shouting a word at a time. The power of logical thought and the force of gravity seemed alike to be suspended. One had the sense of something as unescapable and as unconditionally fated as a catastrophe of nature. An N. C. 0. of No. 3 platoon went mad."
"At ten this carnival of hell gradually calmed down and passed into a steady drum fire. It was still certainly impossible to distinguish one shell from another. "
“…you must imagine you are securely tied to a post, being threatened by a man swinging a heavy hammer. Now the hammer has been taken back over his head, ready to be swung, now it’s cleaving the air towards you, on the point of touching your skull, then it’s struck the post, and splinters are flying - that’s what it’s like to experience heavy shelling in an exposed position.”
- Ernst Junger, "Storm of Steel"
