This sound comes from the main theme associated with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the 2011 fantasy role-playing game by Bethesda. Often recognized as the Dragonborn theme, it became one of the most familiar pieces of modern game music. Short clips spread widely in gaming videos, memes and social posts because the choral chant and heavy percussion signal instant epicness. It is still used whenever creators want a scene to feel heroic, cinematic or jokingly far more important than it really is.
