About this sound

A short clip of AC/DC's Back in Black guitar riff, used for dramatic entrances, workout edits and high-energy reveals in videos and memes online.

The clip captures the instantly recognisable opening guitar riff from AC/DC's Back in Black, played loud, punchy and full of swagger. Crisp electric guitars drive forward over a steady, stomping rhythm, building tension before the full band feel kicks in and making even a simple entrance feel larger than life. It sounds confident, rebellious and unmistakably classic rock, which is why it lands so well as a short burst rather than a full song. Listeners tend to brace for something big, whether that is a reveal, a comeback or a joke landing with maximum attitude.

Pro tip

Drop the riff right on the cut to the reveal, not during the setup, so the first guitar hit lands with the visual punch. Pair it with a zoom or slow-motion entrance, keep it under ten seconds, and avoid dialogue over the opening notes.

How people use it

Introducing a friend with exaggerated confidence on camera.
Soundtracking a gym montage or personal best lift.
Revealing a new car, outfit or room makeover.
Opening a gaming highlight or victory compilation.
