Two Steps From Hell

Two Steps from Hell is a production music company founded by composers Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen. They started working together in the early 2000s, initially under the name "Immediate" before settling on their current moniker. Their music is built around large-scale orchestral arrangements with prominent percussion and melodic themes designed for cinematic use.

Their 2009 album "Archangel" brought them wider attention, particularly among film and trailer editors looking for dramatic scoring material. Tracks like "Victory" and "Star Sky" became staples in that world, appearing in promotional materials for major studio films. Their work has been used in trailers for movies including "The Hobbit" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

While Phoenix and Bergersen form the core of the project, they regularly work with vocalists like Felicia Farerre, who appears on "You Are Light." Their recordings often feature large orchestral ensembles, though they primarily create music for licensing rather than traditional album releases or concert performances.
