With their bombastic sound characterised by ancient chants, titles such as “Protectors of the Earth,” “Heart of Courage,” “Victory” and “Archangel” set the heartbeats of millions of fans racing and perfectly complement the (film) images they accompany. With over four billion views on YouTube, one billion plays on other streaming platforms and four platinum albums, Two Steps From Hell are already one of the most successful music entities ever. The world’s number one epic music producers and composers, namely Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix, are breaking every streaming and follower record with their California-based production company Two Steps From Hell. 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.Whenever huge emotions, tense anticipation and breath-taking intensity are in the air, the sound of Two Steps From Hell is never far away. 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.
