About this sound

The 'what is best in life' line from Conan the Barbarian: to crush your enemies. A classic movie quote used in memes, victory edits and motivation clips.

This is the iconic answer from Conan the Barbarian, where the warlord defines the good life as crushing his enemies, seeing them driven before him and hearing the lamentation of their women. The quote is delivered in a deep, gravelly growl that builds from a low rumble into a savage grin of a reply. Hearing it instantly conjures images of barbarian hordes, sword fights and total victory, which is why it hits so hard out of context. It feels ancient, brutal and darkly funny all at once, turning any win into a legendary conquest.

Pro tip

Drop the line the instant your victory lands, a final kill or a closed deal, over slow-motion footage. Duck the game audio under the voice since the growl is the star. Never stack it under loud music that buries the words.
