![]() ![]() As of January 2017, Two Steps from Hell has published 10 public albums in addition to 20 demonstration albums, with almost 1,000 unique tracks in total. Invincible was approaching Gold record status. ![]() ĭespite the company finding success with its music, the tracks were not officially released to the public until the May 2010 release of the commercial album Invincible. With the founding 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 "Two Steps From Heaven", a Norwegian nightclub that, according to Bergersen, had a similar theme going on. The two have composed music for over 1,000 major motion picture trailers. The first few bars of popular tracks like “Freedom Fighters” and “Heart of Courage” (which was in advertising for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and NBC’s Revolution) were met with cheers and applause from the crowd of fans eager to hear their favorite Two Steps tunes.Two Steps from Hell was founded in early 2006 when Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix joined forces to write original music for movie trailers. ![]() Both composers performed throughout the show: Bergersen (pictured above) played the electric violin, Phoenix played taiko drums and sang, and both played piano and various percussion. But it took on the vibe of a rock concert when multi-colored lighting - including strobe lights - filled the Hall and when Phoenix and Bergersen, wearing jeans and untucked button-up T-shirts, took the stage, each acknowledging the audience with a casual wave. The orchestra and choir in uniform black, with adherence to traditions like the entrance of the first violin, lent a formal, dignified tone to the event. It didn’t quite feel like a night at the symphony, nor did it feel like a rock concert - the event had elements of both, as did its audience: Some were dressed in formal gowns, while others wore jeans and T-shirts. A 70-piece orchestra and a choir of 60 singers filled the Hall with Two Steps’ intense, dramatic music at Friday’s event. ![]()
