Two Steps from Hell was a production music company based in Los Angeles, California.[4] [5] It was founded in 2006 by Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix, a pair of composers born in Norway and England respectively.[1] They created the company to make trailer music demos to be circulated exclusively within the movie advertising industry for the purpose of licensing;[6] and were partnered with Extreme Music who handled licensing arrangements.[5] [7] The duo were among the most successful in their field,[8] [9] having supplied background tracks for thousands of film trailers and TV commercials.[5] [10] They composed separately but released their creations together.[1] Typically, their music was orchestral and choral based, but with modern complements and structured similar to pop songs.[1] [7] The stentorian nature of their works led the frequent use of a contemporary label, "epic music", to define their style.

They established themselves as a major player in the market of the late 2000s, providing tracks to trailers for major film franchises such as Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek and Twilight. As the public became exposed to their music, the pair gained a cult following online who pleaded for their compositions to be made available to purchase;[11] [7] [12] Two Steps from Hell soon released their first two public albums, Invincible (2010) and Archangel (2011), collections of their most popular demo music to date.[13] These were followed by the album SkyWorld (2012), this time consisting entirely of brand new music straight to commercial release.[14] With these albums all successful,[5] [11] the duo organized their first concert, at Walt Disney Concert Hall, in 2013.[6] [13]

A waning demand for traditional trailer music in the movie industry emerged by the mid-2010s; the pair has since focused increasingly on creating further public albums consisting of new and more varied compositions, with far less of an emphasis on composing demos for trailers,[15] while continuing to release more of their back catalog commercially as well.[16] Such music performed well in the United States; 13 of their releases reached the top ten of the Billboard Classical Crossover Albums charts, 3 of which peaked at number one: Battlecry (2015), Unleashed (2017),[17] and Myth (2022), the first also charting on the Billboard 200.[18] The 2020s began with the group consolidating their popularity by organizing their first tours in Europe.[15] [9] However, in 2024, it was announced that Bergersen and Phoenix were going their separate ways, ending Two Steps from Hell.[2] [3]

History

Two Steps from Hell was founded in early 2006 when Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix joined forces to write original music for movie trailers. The two have composed music for over 1,000 major motion picture trailers.[19]

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",[20] a Norwegian nightclub that, according to Bergersen, had a similar theme going on.[21]

Despite 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. Invincible was approaching Gold record status. 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 followed by Bergersen's first solo album, Illusions, then Archangel and Halloween, both primarily compilation albums of industry tracks. Next, SkyWorld was released as the first public album to feature mostly new tracks, followed by the primarily compilation albums Classics Volume One and Miracles.

In 2013 Nick Phoenix released his first solo album, Speed of Sound.

The album Sun, which was released on September 30, 2014, is the second solo album from Thomas Bergersen. Preview tracks were released from the album, titled "Cry" and "Sun", the former of which can be downloaded from Bergersen's official website.[22] An official music video for "Sun" was also released on YouTube,[23] preceding the announcement of a signed limited deluxe edition CD release set to include additional tracks and notes from Thomas, as well as a large-size poster featuring his artwork.[24]

Additionally, in July 2014 Two Steps from Hell released an e-book known as Colin Frake on Fire Mountain, which features a 75,000-word novel written by Nick Phoenix with illustrations by Otto Bjornik, as well as an original score also made available via a soundtrack release.[25] A sequel entitled Colin Frake: Asclepius was released in April 2017.[26]

2015 saw the release of Battlecry featuring all new songs. This album proved to be a huge success for the company, charting at position 183 on the US Billboard 200.[27] This was followed by the compilation album Classics Volume Two in 2015, and the all new albums Vanquish, Unleashed, and Dragon in 2016, 2017, and 2019 respectively.

In 2020 Bergersen released the first two chapters (out of seven) of his Humanity album. These featured mostly new tracks, with several reworked tracks from older releases.

Two Steps from Hell's main graphic artist is Steven Gilmore,[28] who has created album covers for almost every promotional and public release, including the logo of the company, with the only exception being the 2009 DVD release of their library, for which the album cover was created by Paul Zeaiter.[29] Additionally, Thomas Bergersen's Illusions solo album features design by Jesper Krijgsman,[30] while its sequel, Sun, features artwork created by Thomas himself.[31]

Their success has also been reflected in platforms such as YouTube, where they have millions of subscribers [32] and over a hundred million views on popular soundtracks such as "Victory".[33]

In April 2024 the duo of Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix announced they would be pursuing solo careers and Two Steps From Hell would end.[34]

The second live concert happened on April 20, 2018, and was organized by the Film Music Prague Festival. The concert was performed by Praga Sinfonietta, which was conducted by Petr Pololáník, Kühns mixed choir, Merethe Soltvedt and Kamila Nývltová as solo singers.

2020 was supposed to see the start of the Two Steps From Hell European tour, but this was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On June 15, 2022, Two Steps From Hell started their European tour in Brussels and visited other European cities. The concert was performed by Odesa Opera Orchestra assisted by ReChoir, a professional Polish choir. Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix participated on several songs.[39]

The series follows the adventures of the adolescent protagonist of the same name, set in the fictional world of "Reanne".
