Two Steps from Hell is a American production music company based in Los Angeles, California, founded by Nick Phoenix and Thomas J. Bergersen in 2006. The company focuses predominantly in movie and trailer music, and has supplied tracks to films such as Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and X-Men.

Company history
Two Steps from Hell was founded in 2006 when Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix joined forces to write original music for movie trailers. Bergersen moved from Trondheim in Norway to the United States in 2003, along with Phoenix, who began composing in 1997, before moving to Los Angeles. The two formed the company in early 2006, and have composed music for over 1000 major motion picture trailers.

Two Steps from Hell mainly produces trailer music, although recently it has also been used for television shows and selected video games, along with more recently providing soundtracks to movies itself.
Despite the company finding huge success after composing music, the tracks made were never released to the public. However, as of June 2013, Two Steps from Hell has published 20 demonstration albums and 8 public albums, with almost 1000 unique tracks. The upcoming album, Sun, scheduled for a 2014 release, will be the second solo album from Thomas Bergersen. Preview tracks have been released from the album, titled Cry and Sun, the former of which can be downloaded from Bergersen's official website. An official music video for "Sun" was also released on YouTube.
Two Steps from Hell's main graphical artist is Steven Gilmore, 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. Additionally, Thomas Bergersen's Illusions solo album features design by Jesper Krijgsman.
