Two steps from hell is a music production company located in Los
Angeles, California. Founded by Nick Phoenix and Thomas J. Bergersen on
February 14, 2006,1 the company produces music for movie trailers and for the
top ten of the classic albums on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.
The music of the company has appeared in many
more media, such as live television shows, documentaries, YouTube videos and
sporting events. One of the sporting event where one of their soundtrack
usually is played is the World Cup. Normally, the melody is played while the
football players are walking into the stadium. The title of the soundtrack is “Heart of courage” which was written for
the Narnia movies.
They have released two albums, Invincible and
Archangel. Illusions, formally known as Nemesis II, was published under the
name of Bergersen.
It is one of the most famous producers of this
type of music, which many call "epic music" or "trailer
music", and some of the most popular topics among Internet users are
"Archangel", "To glory", " Protectors of the Earth
", among others.
I don’t remember when exactly I started
listening to this music, but I guess once I heard one of the soundtracks in
some movie and I fell in love with it quickly. Such music makes me relaxed and
happy, during listening to it my imagination is getting bigger, life seems to
be more beautiful, magical and of course epic. I got used to play the music
when I study or I have to make something creative. It helps me a lot, it steadies
me, makes that all stress goes away and only stays silence. So a perfect moment
to do it, is the exams time when I need to be cooled out, my mind has to think
clearly and just be EPIC! J
I should point out that Thomas J. Bergersen is
my favorite composer, and in particular, his music makes me feel like that. He
has wonderful ideas to create epic
music. In his music he combines many instruments but one of the main music
instrument is a violin. It appears in every Thomas’s soundtrack. I have been
listening to Two Steps From Hell music for many years and now I am able to
recognize to whom belongs a new released soundtrack, because I can already
recognize Thomas’s music, it has something unique which I cannot explain to you
guys. Maybe, if you try to listen to it, you will fall in love like me J
Now, I will give you some movie examples where
you can find Two Steps From Hell music:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Dark Knight
The Advengers
Pirates od the Caribbean: At World's End
Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time
Interstellar
To conclude the whole post, I will give an example o before mentioned soundtrack "Heart of courage". Enjoy!
