Two Steps From Hell

An orchestral group known for composing music specifically for movie trailers, headed by Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix.

Unfortunately, they are only given to movie producers. Everyone else will have to get more...creative...

So far, they have released two commercial albums: Invincible and Archangel. Thomas has also released a solo album, Illusions.

 * The Jimmy Hart Version: Quite a few tracks sound a lot like famous movie scores, ranging from blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to downright plagiarism.
 * They've ripped off Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean scores not just once, but twice. Perhaps not surprising considering Thomas and Nick contributed additional music to the score of On Stranger Tides.
 * Or how about their spin on the Superman theme?
 * Here are some examples.
 * Ominous Latin Chanting. All. The. Time.
 * Villain Song: "He Who Brings The Night" could count.
