Two Steps from Hell is an American production music company based in Los Angeles, California, founded by Thomas J. Bergersen and Nick Phoenix in 2006. The company focuses predominantly on movie and trailer music, and has supplied tracks to films such as Interstellar, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and X-Men.
Two Steps from Hell was founded in 2006 when Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix joined forces to write original music for movie trailers. Bergersen moved from Trondheim, Norway to the United States in 2003, along with Phoenix, who began composing in 1997, before moving to Los Angeles. The two formed the company in early 2006, and have composed music for over 1,000 major motion picture trailers.
Name origin
With the founding in of the company in 2006, Bergersen was looking for a name that would draw attention with the old adage in mind, "All PR is good PR." The idea for the name came from a Norwegian nightclub that, according to Bergersen, had a similar theme.
Founding and initial success (2006–2010)
Two Steps from Hell mainly produces trailer music and epic music, although recently it has also been used for television shows and video games.
Heart of Courage
Two Steps from Hell
The promise,
Redemption
This time we fight for freedom
The dreamer
Awaking,
Shattered by love
The courage
Together
We lean against destruction
Salvation, remission
Wait, my new world
We take it,
We save it,
Our hearts unite each other
The one who dies with you
Follow your path soldier,
We face it, we save it
Until our last breath fading
Wherever, don't matter
Burning love for Gaia!
