Detail

After realizing that their music had potential, in 2006, composers Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix created Two Steps From Hell. They started out by specializing in creating music for the film industry, mainly for movie trailers, a type of music which needs evocative and suggestive themes, but also needs to have immediate effect. Their compositions appeared in the trailers of sagas such as Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, or Star Trek, and many more. The success of their music soared, and soon jumped from movie theaters to advertisements, television programs, sports competitions, and in general, to any other type of spectacle that needed epic music. In the beginning, Two Steps From Hell only created music for commercial use, but the popularity of their works was such that they decided to release a public album in May 2010 entitled Invincible, a collection of some of their greatest hits. The reception of this album exceeded all their expectations, and the rest, as they say, is history. Their fans, who by that time numbered in the tens of thousands, kept longing for more music, so Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix reinvented themselves and created new songs, not only for the audiovisual industry, but also for the general public, and started releasing albums. The Two Steps From Hell phenomenon was born. These albums became so beloved that their songs accumulated billions of views on YouTube, and an equal number of reproductions on audio streaming platforms, reaching the top of the sales charts, both in physical and digital versions.

“What we try to do is create a strong melody that people recognise and is instantly memorable. That’s been our focus the whole way, to create something that’s really strong branding.” - Thomas Bergersen
