This and many requests from fans encouraged Two Steps from Hell to release their first public album Invincible in 2010, and things kept growing from there.

The first company to release an album of epic music was Globus (Epicon), followed by Immediate Music with Trailerhead in 2008 and later in the same series with Nu Epiq. The genre was named 'epic music' by its community when composers finally started releasing public albums. It was around 2005-2010 some composers started to pick up public fame for the first time, thanks to their songs being featured at special events like the Olympic Games and the many trailers they composed for. Until this day only few of these albums have been officially, or unofficially through Internet platforms, released to the public. From then until the 2010s, many albums and single tracks were created however they were only available to the companies’ clients and the film industry. All of a sudden, my rather mundane job seems like it’s an epic struggle between goodness and rightness and the forces of evil trying to destroy all that is beautiful in the world.The first official trailer music companies, which later became epic music producers, were created in the 1990s, with Immediate Music being one of the first starting as early as 1993. Personally, I have already bought both their albums because this is the best kind of music to listen to on the way to work.
They’ve got two public albums out, both available on iTunes, but most of their stuff seems like it’s also on YouTube as well. So as you can tell, Two Steps From Hell make some really epic music. (Yeah, I know Anna Karenina doesn’t really belong on a fantasy/sci-fi blog but I love the story and the trailer looks really cool and the music was an excellent choice.) (Seriously, take a look at this credits page.) Some of the trailers you have heard them in: So if you’ve seen a movie trailer recently, there is a very good chance that it was done by these guys: Two Steps From Hell. It might seem silly but trailers are incredibly important for films and the right music can really set the tone for the movie, most of the time without people even realizing it. While those guys are all great, (along with all the other composers I haven’t mentioned like Zbigniew Preisner, Danny Elfman, James Horner, and the incomparable John Williams) one area that doesn’t get noticed much is trailer music. All of a sudden modern day composers became important to me. The new Batman movies (Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard). And then there was the Chronicle of Narnia movies (Harry Gregson-Williams).
Gladiator had kind of got me interested, but it wasn’t until the Lord of the Rings trilogy (with Howard Shore) that I really started paying attention to what kind of music was being used. I used to never really pay attention to soundtracks.

However, there is one area where classical music has thrived: movie and tv soundtracks. Individual musicians deserve the attention and praise for their skill.
I mean we still listen to it and people still go to hear orchestras play but now it’s not really the composer that matters but rather the musician. We don’t really have classical music anymore. Well, I’ve written about food and locations in fantasy books/movies, so why not music?
