I think the reason I love TSFH so much is... well let's be honest, there are a LOT of reasons. But setting their mastery of music theory aside, what makes TSFH special to me is that there is always a story in their music. Each song is a battle, a discovery, an adventure. And they don't even have to say a word. The story will tell itself.
Agreed it is the amount of emotions portrayed in each song sents you through a roller coaster of emotions and images creating the effect absolutely wonderful
3:40 to 4:14 is actully making a feeling of intense, and end it end it when it reached the maximum. that's a great one that I liked , but 1:33 is the main body so that the part I love more here.
0:06 you end up somewhere in a big jungle in Southamerica. 0:26 after a long and exhausting walk you are surprised as you stop in front of an big stone wall, you try to find a way past the wall 0:47 you finally found a mysterious old gate, but it seems like it can be opened. You enter it and the gate closes behind you. Now you are in a room without much light. Luckily you see that there is some kind of corridor. You follow that Corridor. 1:08 you end up before another huge gate. You see daylight shining trough the holes in the gate. 1:20 you are curious but also afraid to open the Gate. But you have to! 1:28 the Gate is heavy to push but...finally you are outside again but the Sun makes you blind for a few seconds. 1:31...you can't believe what you have found after your eyes have adjusted to the sunlight again. 1:33...*EL DORADO*
" *Many tales were told about this place.* Poem were written in it's glory, prayers said in it's name. Like a legend that never dies, 'The Golden' was in our hearts for hundreds of years. A secret wish, a distant dream of wealth and fame... I remember the countless nights I have indulged myself in thoughts about it and it's treasures. Oh, how wonderful it was... I am not the type who gets excited so quickly. But this time I could not hold myself. Not in the awe of this glorious wonder. We have journied for months, leaving no stone unturned in this endless desert, and finally, we are here. The mighty golden walls rise far up to the sky above, blindingly shining in the sun. The ancient rusty gate slowly rises up as we approach, and as we get through, a breathtaking view is revealed to us: Buildings, roads, walls - even trees - all made of pure gold, reflecting the rays of the sun everywhere. Thousands of them, spreading all the way to the horizon. None of us could find the words to say. The streets were empty - not a living soul was here, but the prescense of a long lost empire was felt. Great things have happened here, between those walls of gold. We just stood there, shocked, trying to contain the amazing picture in front of us. This is it. We have made it. This is 'The Golden One'. This is *El Dorado*. " **Thanks for reading! Check out my Google+ page to read more of my writings!** plus.google.com/112324906659997671696
In 2019 my marching band sampled parts of this in our show. It was my freshman year, my first time in a marching show, and I'm so glad we used this. I will never forget how it feels to work your ass off everyday and see it pay off in the stadium, and the absolutely epic music just boosts that feeling tenfold. Currently a junior as I'm writing this, and we missed a full season due to covid. It feels great to be back with our new show, it's been a great season. Next year's my last, and I'm gonna miss this.
0:05 Hero is being chased by a small gang through the marketplace. 0:26 Chopper flies overhead and opens fire on the hero. 1:08 Enemy pops around the corner. 1:10 Another enemy jumps from the alleyway balcony. 1:12 The next... 1:15 Final enemy comes out of hiding. The hero is now surrounded. They ask him to surrender. 1:33 Hero uses the fighting skills he learned from his dead father... the man whom he is seeking to avenge. He takes the out the enemies... every last one. 2:15 The United States military arrives via helicopters and transport vehicles. The battle is won... so he thought. 2:55 The enemy forces have not yet been defeated... more are coming. 3:36 The enemies realize what they're up against and flee... they are outnumbered 5 to 1. 3:53 ... all except one. The man who killed his father in cold blood... He walks toward the hero, unarmed. 4:14 The hero lifts his pistol... "You deserve no less." The hero says. He aims, and fires.
My marching band is doing a song primarily based of of this song and I could not be more excited. This is supposed to be the 3rd movement of our show, Outlaw. Let the show begin. #OutlawMVMB2016
I have just spent 2 weeks of intense epic music listening looking for this song! I remember the first few times I heard in random playlists I didn't care for it too much, but over time I grew to love it without even learning the name of the author...and then one day that intro tune got stuck inside my head and then I just couldn't find it anymore...this is so fucking cathartic...bless you TSFH
Jack Patterson Exactly, I've made many different types of fighting videos but never a full fledged movie and its all there just need someone to coordinate moves and music and things like that
I love correcting assignments from my students while listening to TSFH. It feels like it becomes the most important thing in the world, and I feel like a hero doing it. Haha
Most underrated TSFH song, and my favorite. Remember when this came out when I was in 7th grade almost 8 years ago, blasted this while eating breakfast!
This has always been my favorite Two Steps From Hell song. In fact, it's the very first song I downloaded on my first phone years back. And I always listen to it when I watch lightsaber duels.
I still remember where I was when I first heard this song several years ago, as well as the time of day. The beginning was kinda odd, but MAN...I love everything about this song, now. The layers, the power!!! Definitely my favorite TSFH song, if not my favorite of all songs.
I find it very interesting how people have different views of which part in this piece they consider to be the best. Many have said it's 1:32, some say 0:26. Personally though, my favourite part is the beginning. So weird and initially unlikeable, but memorable, and that's the point. I can't think of how any other part of the song (or any song from TSFH) sounds, because it reaches a point where everything sounds too much the same. All I remember is that it sounds amazing and inspiring, but too similar. For the beginning, however, it's distinct and different and plays on repeat in my head, enticing me to listen to the whole thing again. :) Hey guys thanks for the replies; it's nice to read other peoples' opinions :)
The violin at beggining is just really catchy and for a people who listen for the first time this music it is really really nice... the music is just an history, an universe...
God, at about 1:30-ish, I can actually visualize the buildings towering overhead, with futuristic vehicles zooming back and forth between them. Truly a masterpiece, and definitely one of my favorites of your pieces.
its a whole movie intro " The Dark Eye" El Doradus on the new Continent or Dungeons and Drageons Forgotten Realms ! Queztacotl climbing up the 13 Stair Pyramid !
Omg i almost stopped listening cause the beggining was something so diferent from the music i use to like but somehow it was kinda of interesting so i decided to wait and then 1:32 OMG HOLY BATMAN, i was blown away by this masterpiece of epicness!!! Now this song is one of my favorites cause is just mixture of impossibles creating an unique MAGNIFICIENT sound omg!!!! Bergensen you're genius! 💖
As I was playing Minecraft a few days ago while listening to this song, this random story came to my mind: A brave and adventurous young player is walking across the landscape, with a large mountain building up in front of him. He decides to climb up the mountain but as he reaches the top, he realizes that the 'mountain' is actually a volcano. He notices a chest, located very close to the lava lake at the bottom. As he goes down into the crater, he hears footsteps. With his sword in his hand, he approaches the chest, when all of the sudden he gets a hit from behind. He nearly falls into the lava lake, but can save himself by hanging himself onto a stone. As the two battle themselves, the lava starts to become active and begins to rise. In the threat of being devoured by the lava, the two decide to stop the fight and work together. After the two sucessfully exit the crater, the volcano erupts, shooting out lava everywhere. The two players go into hiding, and our main protagonist sees his former enemy for the first time in clear vision. He is shocked to see, that the other player does not have armor nor a weapon. As he asks why he hit him, the player said that he fell into the crater and wanted to ask for help, so he punched him in the back. The protagonist understands him, and they become great friends shortly after.
The true image of this song is obscure. That is, until you have been with TSFH through time. This is a song of nostalgia, you'll only truly feel the connection after stumbling upon this music, hitting the bottom of your life, reaching the new top, and coming back to this once more.
Definitely one of the best TSFH songs ever. Everytime I listen to this, it feels like living in the sky(world). It also reminds me there will better times and always hope for a better future.
For the win is up there too, but not as high as El Dorado, and Blackheart. My favorite songs in skyworld would have to be 1. Blackheart, 2. El Dorado, 3. Winterspell, 4. For the Win, 5. Breathe
The whole album is fantastic, and its probably my favorite album out of all the TSFH albums. Also I wanted to see if its just me. Does skyworld (The song not the album :P) sound like the sonic 06 main theme to you? I'm just curious. Because whenever I hear it that's exactly what it sounds like.
I've listened to this countless times, but I can never get over the sheer power of this piece! (Especially the horns blasting at 1:33) It must have been great to record this piece with a live orchestra!
I sincerely love these guys' music. Every track has an epic scene associated with it in my mind. For example. In the beginning as the string is playing it's discordant tune I see a deer running through the woods. Seconds later a man clad in armor bursts through the underbrush running the same direction. He seems to be chasing the deer. The man and deer break into a clearing and the man turns his head to look behind him and right as the base kicks in a shadow resbling a classical Western style dragon is shown in pursuit of the man. For brevity's sake, there are multiple cuts as the man tries to escape, but eventually he is caught as a cliff. He turns draws his sword and faces his pursuer as the massive dragon lands as the music picks up. Then right when the main chkrus hits an arrow zooms out of the periphery and pierces the dragons eye followed by a second heavily armed and armored knight. Remainder of the song is filled with an epic fight.
MusicMakesYouBraver I did : ) (Battlecry). It seems to me that each time TSFH creates a new album, they improve with quality. Cannon in D Minor was absolutely phenomenal and so as Sonera, but personally Flameheart (Extended G1 Cut) is my all time favourite Epic action music due to it's simplicity. That's just me.
Sirender Sadly, I thought SkyWorld was sort of nice, and Battlecry just doesn't hold my interest at all. But then, I'm known for liking extreme music and that isn't TSFH's fault.
This epic theme i used in a very epic fight of the all epic games. And was "God Of War 4" In my ultimate kombat "Kratos & Atreus (Atreyu) VS Sigrun, The Queen Valkyrie".
I suffer from depression since the COVID pandemia. As many other, I guess. This song is for me a kind of call to rise up again. Thank you, Thomas, thank you TSFH, I love you
Okay. I've got to write a book report and an essay. Both are due in two days and I haven't read the book. * Starts music * * Done in two hours * *True story*
Used to listen to this song on my Ipod when I was in middle school. It will always remind me of my best friend Owen and I and all the adventures we had together in our small town- where there was nothing to do, but we had our imaginations. I look back on those memories and see them as an epic classic western movie.
This should be used in Assassin's Creed I when you're getting chased by the guards. Very fitting; it was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard it.
the first thing that came to my mind was a solid gold city called el dorado with ancient incan people barely clothed but wearing intricate and heavy jewelry prancing around repeating the phrase "this is our city. get out.". their hostility turned me away and i left disappointed without even bringing back any gold. dammit.
Joel Cervelló Solé i closed my eyes again and this time, i imagined riding atop a falcon while completely naked across the skies and skimming the tips of trees of the amazonian rain forest. then i reach the end of the rain forest, which turns into a huge cliff with a waterfall. the falcon swoops down and flies vertically parallel to the waterfall into a cloud of mist at the base and then pulls up right before plunging into the water below. i get scared out of my mind and instinctively release my bowels. the falcon realizes that his feathers are now caked in feces and becomes angry at my ungratefulness. he berates me for my actions, lands, and warns me that i'll never ride atop another falcon as long as he lives. dammit.
This was the first theme that I heard of TSFH, I was on a class doing my task while listening epic music on RUclips and then El Dorado appears. I loved it immediately and I couldn't stop of listen TSFH music since then.

I can't believe this was released 11 years ago. Where did the time go... This piece is still absolutely amazing though, and that's an understatement OTL I can hardly breathe for the beauty ;~;
Robert Fernandez so, unless you can live on something with no solid surface, and in temperatures hot enough to create enough light to be seen in millions of miles away...
while watching a wizard101 youtube video, I was enchanted by the music in it. I spent months and months, checking iTunes, youtube, and descriptions and comments of other videos, trying to find the authors of this awesome music. after months of search, I finally found that they were called: two step from hell. how did everyone else get here to paridise?
I'm currently writing this book series atm and in the beginning chapter of book 5; two riders are running for their lives on horseback through a desert and then stop to fight their pursuers and this song fits it so amazingly it gives me chills!
TSFH has been a great inspiration & motivator for me with my book series. Are you in the publishing stage yet with yours? I've only just completed Book 1 in mine [currently revising], and have outlined the other 6.

One of the most interesting starts for a song.
+Nick Martin i love this start
Sounds like something straight out of Assassin's Creed
Ryan C The intro is similar with music from Balkans
Leo Leonard so true. i was thinking that they have taken idea from there
InfectedWithAnime As I live somewhere in Balkans (Romania), I can hear this type of music all day long ☺
It blows my mind that this song dropped 8 years ago. I was in middle school, now I'm 20. Time flies when you're having fun I guess.
Holy cow bro. And same.
UwU
so true
This song was what made me join band lol
Something similar happened to me!
Someone needs to use the two steps from hell tracks in a film or a game because they are FRIGGIN AMAZING
Pivoteer UK yeeeah
Pivoteer UK idk I guess if you count AFOE/AFOTW/etc films they do all the time
In ads for example they use HEART OF COURAGE and OCEAN PRINCESS, but in games... sorry, copyrighted.
Actually, there are some games which have this music playing.
See Heart of Courage. It was used in a very famous game.
I think the reason I love TSFH so much is... well let's be honest, there are a LOT of reasons. But setting their mastery of music theory aside, what makes TSFH special to me is that there is always a story in their music. Each song is a battle, a discovery, an adventure. And they don't even have to say a word. The story will tell itself.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Agreed it is the amount of emotions portrayed in each song sents you through a roller coaster of emotions and images creating the effect absolutely wonderful
Love it
Your scrutiny is excellent I'd say.🙏🙏🙏
It's like we are travelling through the gold city of el dorado
0:25 the moment I realised Thomas Bergerson is my favorite composer.
Yass next to Hans Zimmer personally
Wait.. I just saw you somewhere else!!
*Same* 0:27 🔥💥
YES! (i realized that a long time though lol)
Yes, exactly! But for some reason they took that out of the "remastered" version . . . no idea why, it carried the whole song!
ONE OF THE MOST EPIC MUSIC I EVER LISTENED
Listen to Audiomachine: War of Faiths, if you haven't already....pretty awesome from the beginning!
joel Pallaroso Nonone agree
GRAMMAR GUUDE JÀ SENÔR?
So awesome that the caps lock key cannot be disengaged due to sheer overwhelming powah!
The grammar is making me cringe, and I don't normally care about grammar.
The way this song ascends to the peak at 1:31 is just breathtaking
so much suspense so epic
I feel as if the song was suited for everyone who was tripping throught the Andes Mountains
RRR animal jump scene
Yesss
Everyone talking about 1:33... Am I the only one who prefers the last part? Seriously, 3:40 to 4:14 is Godlike
2:55 too
Your taste is bad
Its not a bad part, its a pretty good ending for a song like this, also, it gives me chills. But 1:33 is just something special
3:40 to 4:14 is actully making a feeling of intense, and end it end it when it reached the maximum. that's a great one that I liked , but 1:33 is the main body so that the part I love more here.
much more climactic than 1:33 for sure
Miguel and Tulio
Tulio and Miguel
MIGHTY AND POWERFUL GODS
Dafuq where is tulio?
So I was NOT the only one! Hehehe! I loved that movie so much. :')
Anna Worley It is an awesome movie. Might just watch it again on Netflix...
that moment you say this comment out loud in public thinking you said it in your head.....and you still LOL haha
Lunaluna11000 You, sir/madame, are the greatest. I present to you the Purple Internet Medallion.
I know there's a like button, but you know what this song really needs? A love button.
And only one isn't even enough!
RevanSTARKiller47 Favorite button?
RevanSTARKiller47 A love button? A clitoris you mean... hehe :)
A FUCKING SHIT I LOVE THIS MASTERPIECE button
The Horns at 1:34 blow me away. TSFH doesn't always add horn melody, but when they do it kicks ass.
Sooo true
Every moment in every piece of TSFH music has its own special instrument to achieve that awesome sound :)
Guess it makes some...
Horny
I think that are trombones. ?!?! ^^
@@Schweden99 Nopes, trombones sound way different.
1:33 One of the best horn solos I've heard in my life.👌📯
Alex4040 Mirante do you think it’s a soli?
@@haoningzhang4640 Obviusly bro
Showing that they are the best metal instrument
One French horn/Double Horn can punch through an entire orchestra in the correct hands. I'm always amazed by it.
@@jareddmunoz its true, horns are the greatest instrument ever crafted, but also the hardest to master
1:32 don't expect to see that one comming
It's such an epic melody
Tomohiro Kawaguchi. I say it.
Beautiful
Good lord that sick violin at the beginning kills me.
I like it
ME TOO.....
Nobody:
The cool synth at the beginning: *_varooom_*
1:33
I was thinking the same thing lol
Hearing it alive was the memory for lifetime! #prague2023
I can't stop pressing the Two Steps From Hell videos! THEY'RE SO GOOD!
i discovered them a few years ago lol. instant addiction to epicness
GOOD is an Understatement
I can't stop as well! My favourite albums are SkyWorld, and Battlecry. Two Steps from Hell, is my new favourite band. :)

This track NEEDS to be in a chase sequence for a movie someday!
Everytime i hear this. . . Zorro comes to mind. . . Dunno. . . :-/
Some samurai training montage of him being the best worrior or something haha
It is in the movie Real Steel. The final fight sequence i think.
Be careful what you wish for
Guess what? This and a lot of other Two Steps From Hell songs will be used in the new LCDA movie, "The Great Marble Sea Sagas"!

1:30 - 3:30 i am the paradise of music!
0:05 Hero is being chased by a small gang through the marketplace.

1:08 Enemy pops around the corner.
1:10 Another enemy jumps from the alleyway balcony.
1:12 The next...
1:15 Final enemy comes out of hiding. The hero is now surrounded. They ask him to surrender.
1:33 Hero uses the fighting skills he learned from his dead father... the man whom he is seeking to avenge. He takes the out the enemies... every last one.

this is more like a dramatic fight to the finish in an anime.
Mega Lucario but... but... it's fun to write...
This is really good, fits the music well! Or did you take it from something?
Choppa!
One of the best choruses in the history of epic music. Probably the best ever piece of music to put over a victory walk.
I was trying to hold my tears listening to this MASTERPIECE *kisses the air*

The themes that these guys come up with are just insane
This song is my obsession, my oxygen, my life. Thank you so fricking much Two Steps From Hell
This music is so frikkin epic. I want to make a make an epic movie just for the sake of using all of their music in it. (Packs bags for Hollywood)
Jack Patterson Exactly, I've made many different types of fighting videos but never a full fledged movie and its all there just need someone to coordinate moves and music and things like that
The beginning is ok to the theme...
But at 1:32..
It turns into...
*HELL DORADO ;D*
The same time all the hair stands up.
Yea ;3;
I agree X) 👍🏻
same xD
My fav TSFH song probably.
Some guy: So how did you so survive through 2020?
Me: *Starts playing Two Steps From Hell*
No it should be just the elevator music, because we all are just laying in bed saving the world

I always think of those boys when I hear this :D
Miguel and Tulio!
Tulio and Miguel!
Mighty and powerful gods!
Accurate
"music makes you braver" well said my friend.
God, at about 1:30-ish, I can actually visualize the buildings towering overhead, with futuristic vehicles zooming back and forth between them. Truly a masterpiece, and definitely one of my favorites of your pieces.
Interesting i imagine a western type scene but with an overhead shot of thousands of horses all moving together in the same direction
its a whole movie intro " The Dark Eye" El Doradus on the new Continent or Dungeons and Drageons Forgotten Realms ! Queztacotl climbing up the 13 Stair Pyramid !
Our marching band plays this. Ayy!
WTF IM SO JEALOUS!!!! IVE TOLD MY BAND DIRECTOR TO DOTHIS AND HES LIKE NO
Brass Flyer Lol really? That sucks! It's really an awesome song. I think it "made" our show this year even. :D
+Bax365 well this year our theme was "how to train your dragon" so it was pretty good. But if only we had this in one of our shows.
LUCKY
+Brass Flyer httyd have sick osts tho
Omg i almost stopped listening cause the beggining was something so diferent from the music i use to like but somehow it was kinda of interesting so i decided to wait and then 1:32 OMG HOLY BATMAN, i was blown away by this masterpiece of epicness!!! Now this song is one of my favorites cause is just mixture of impossibles creating an unique MAGNIFICIENT sound omg!!!! Bergensen you're genius! 💖
Angelica I hop
well put!! i relate to every word!
@@tabassumshaik509 especially the "the", you really really related that one
Really, the beginning is super cool
Yeah me too. I almost stopped listening like you but I think I was very lucky to not pass this song.
My family was playing Dungeons & Dragons. We fought a demon. It sure was hard. But this song was an awesome soundtrack XD
Lit ass family
Two Steps From Hell makes a lot of music that’s great for DnD soundtracks
i wish i could be a part of your family
1:32 one of the best tracks from TSFH
TSFH tells an incredible story with every song they make.
1:32 was incredible
2:54 blew my mind to the moon
4:20 brought me back to reality :')
As I was playing Minecraft a few days ago while listening to this song, this random story came to my mind:
A brave and adventurous young player is walking across the landscape, with a large mountain building up in front of him. He decides to climb up the mountain but as he reaches the top, he realizes that the 'mountain' is actually a volcano. He notices a chest, located very close to the lava lake at the bottom. As he goes down into the crater, he hears footsteps. With his sword in his hand, he approaches the chest, when all of the sudden he gets a hit from behind. He nearly falls into the lava lake, but can save himself by hanging himself onto a stone. As the two battle themselves, the lava starts to become active and begins to rise. In the threat of being devoured by the lava, the two decide to stop the fight and work together. After the two sucessfully exit the crater, the volcano erupts, shooting out lava everywhere. The two players go into hiding, and our main protagonist sees his former enemy for the first time in clear vision. He is shocked to see, that the other player does not have armor nor a weapon. As he asks why he hit him, the player said that he fell into the crater and wanted to ask for help, so he punched him in the back. The protagonist understands him, and they become great friends shortly after.
The true image of this song is obscure.
That is, until you have been with TSFH through time.
This is a song of nostalgia,
you'll only truly feel the connection after stumbling upon this music, hitting the bottom of your life, reaching the new top, and coming back to this once more.
Definitely one of the best TSFH songs ever. Everytime I listen to this, it feels like living in the sky(world). It also reminds me there will better times and always hope for a better future.
Been listening to this track finishing my first marathon at Athens Marathon , watching the ancient marbles...I was cryin from joy
Second best song on this album. First is blackheart sorry but its my favorite.
Agreed! It was my first and favorite two steps song!
Have you listened to "For The Win"?
For the win is up there too, but not as high as El Dorado, and Blackheart. My favorite songs in skyworld would have to be 1. Blackheart, 2. El Dorado, 3. Winterspell, 4. For the Win, 5. Breathe
Skyworld is great too.
The whole album is fantastic, and its probably my favorite album out of all the TSFH albums. Also I wanted to see if its just me. Does skyworld (The song not the album :P) sound like the sonic 06 main theme to you? I'm just curious. Because whenever I hear it that's exactly what it sounds like.
Been looking for this FOREVER. Finally found it
I've listened to this countless times, but I can never get over the sheer power of this piece! (Especially the horns blasting at 1:33)
It must have been great to record this piece with a live orchestra!
2024 Listeners??
Yes!! 🙋🏻
🙋
Always
I use this to run on the beach, hype af
🗿
I sincerely love these guys' music. Every track has an epic scene associated with it in my mind.
For example. In the beginning as the string is playing it's discordant tune I see a deer running through the woods. Seconds later a man clad in armor bursts through the underbrush running the same direction. He seems to be chasing the deer. The man and deer break into a clearing and the man turns his head to look behind him and right as the base kicks in a shadow resbling a classical Western style dragon is shown in pursuit of the man. For brevity's sake, there are multiple cuts as the man tries to escape, but eventually he is caught as a cliff. He turns draws his sword and faces his pursuer as the massive dragon lands as the music picks up. Then right when the main chkrus hits an arrow zooms out of the periphery and pierces the dragons eye followed by a second heavily armed and armored knight. Remainder of the song is filled with an epic fight.
I don't know where I would be without this music. Its motivational properties help to do well academically and become successful.
MUSIC MAKES YOU BRAVER!
Who's listening this song in 2021?
🙋♂️
Me

I've probably listened to this music piece a hundred times and I still get insane goosebumps. Isn't that amazing?
Sirender Did you listen to their new album? Cannon in D Minor beats anything I've ever heard, except for maybe Sonera (vocal version).
MusicMakesYouBraver I did : ) (Battlecry). It seems to me that each time TSFH creates a new album, they improve with quality. Cannon in D Minor was absolutely phenomenal and so as Sonera, but personally Flameheart (Extended G1 Cut) is my all time favourite Epic action music due to it's simplicity. That's just me.
Sirender Sadly, I thought SkyWorld was sort of nice, and Battlecry just doesn't hold my interest at all. But then, I'm known for liking extreme music and that isn't TSFH's fault.
Ah, I see.
This epic theme i used in a very epic fight of the all epic games. And was "God Of War 4"
In my ultimate kombat "Kratos & Atreus (Atreyu) VS Sigrun, The Queen Valkyrie".
1:36 is good and all but for me the best part is the beginning❤
I suffer from depression since the COVID pandemia. As many other, I guess. This song is for me a kind of call to rise up again. Thank you, Thomas, thank you TSFH, I love you
I hope you the best!
@@lon9730 Thank you so much !

Okay. I've got to write a book report and an essay. Both are due in two days and I haven't read the book.
* Starts music *
* Done in two hours *
*True story*
I did a really hard book report over 3 different stories in one book. Listened to this, got it done in 30 minutes.

Conclusion: Two Steps From Hell's music can bend time and space and motivate students to do their homework.
Lady Deadpool 💋 Or it can cripple them if they think of epic movie seens this can fit in.
***** easy going!
my favorite masterpiece
that you made when you close your eye you just go on a journy to a new reality full of peace.
Am I the only one who actually likes the beginning?
NO! the whole music is great!
no, nut the climax is cooler
*but lol
No, you're not. Also the whole song is amazing.
Used to listen to this song on my Ipod when I was in middle school. It will always remind me of my best friend Owen and I and all the adventures we had together in our small town- where there was nothing to do, but we had our imaginations. I look back on those memories and see them as an epic classic western movie.
I realy like the beginning, it has a desserty feel to it.
Has anyone had this experience when u listen to such awesomeness u become super duper productive

川口さん最高!!!!!!!!!!
In the land of trailer epic orchestral music, Thomas Bergersen is King!
Hell yah
This should be used in Assassin's Creed I when you're getting chased by the guards. Very fitting; it was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard it.
the first thing that came to my mind was a solid gold city called el dorado with ancient incan people barely clothed but wearing intricate and heavy jewelry prancing around repeating the phrase "this is our city. get out.". their hostility turned me away and i left disappointed without even bringing back any gold. dammit.
tox0tes No friend, this thing cames to your mind cause you read the name of the song, but if you close your eyes i'm sure you won't imagine so! :)
Joel Cervelló Solé i closed my eyes again and this time, i imagined riding atop a falcon while completely naked across the skies and skimming the tips of trees of the amazonian rain forest. then i reach the end of the rain forest, which turns into a huge cliff with a waterfall. the falcon swoops down and flies vertically parallel to the waterfall into a cloud of mist at the base and then pulls up right before plunging into the water below. i get scared out of my mind and instinctively release my bowels. the falcon realizes that his feathers are now caked in feces and becomes angry at my ungratefulness. he berates me for my actions, lands, and warns me that i'll never ride atop another falcon as long as he lives. dammit.
tox0tes you put a lot of thought into that so i'm going to give you a thumbs up
i knew it had some assassins creed feel to it
This was the first theme that I heard of TSFH, I was on a class doing my task while listening epic music on RUclips and then El Dorado appears. I loved it immediately and I couldn't stop of listen TSFH music since then.
putting this kind of music in a video requires a lot of video editing work to fit with this music..damn so epic
But if you can do it the result would be epic as hell!
lots of editing in the video. :P
It's... the... channel... of... TSFH...
U W0T M8?
We're doing just that for a game called Planetside 2.
Stay tuned if you'd like to see the end result.

I can't believe this was released 11 years ago. Where did the time go...
This piece is still absolutely amazing though, and that's an understatement OTL I can hardly breathe for the beauty ;~;
Beginning: This is weird...
0:25 This is awesome!
I thought this couldn't get more epic than I realized the song is 4:20 long
Mitchel Patnode The wubs at the beginning sound like Snoop Dogg saying 'hmm hmm...'
coincidence?
I THINK NOT!

this track needs to be used for star citizen
I regret to inform you that stars are not inhabitable.
Han Zhang haha! yeah right!
danise gonzaga stars are distant suns, not planets... for instance our sun would be a star on someone elses planet.
Robert Fernandez so, unless you can live on something with no solid surface, and in temperatures hot enough to create enough light to be seen in millions of miles away...
umm the guy was talking about a game (a very awesome game) which is coming out next year :p
Out of This World infinitely beautiful
That bass drop tho.
First portion of violin is so amazing I like it
First time i found this song, the picture on the video had a pair of cowboys riding like hell from 500 foot carnivorous worms. It was awesome.
How do they portray so many emotions in one song and every song and still makes them different GENIUS 👏
while watching a wizard101 youtube video, I was enchanted by the music in it. I spent months and months, checking iTunes, youtube, and descriptions and comments of other videos, trying to find the authors of this awesome music. after months of search, I finally found that they were called: two step from hell. how did everyone else get here to paridise?
attack on space, the audio play
Mass Effect 2 trailer → Heart of Courage → Two Steps from Hell.
we heard them and went on similar epic journies to find the source of this awesome beautiful madness
Motocycle vs Car drift 3
a friend told me, i owe him now :')
The vocals at 2:16 are epic and make this song more badass.
2:34 👌🏻👌🏻😍😍 that part is so epic !!
I'm currently writing this book series atm and in the beginning chapter of book 5; two riders are running for their lives on horseback through a desert and then stop to fight their pursuers and this song fits it so amazingly it gives me chills!
TSFH has been a great inspiration & motivator for me with my book series.
Are you in the publishing stage yet with yours? I've only just completed Book 1 in mine [currently revising], and have outlined the other 6.
