** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPwdWlM1wkw ASAP]]. This song was used in the trailer for Series 1 of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''.

* [[http://www.twostepsfromhell.com/index-home.php Two Steps From Hell]] is an odd little outfit that specializes in composing music for movie trailers. ''Absolutely spectacular'' music for movie trailers, which frequently is magnitudes better than the film's final score. They've supplied music for plenty of movie, TV and video game trailers including ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', ''Film/{{Inception}}'', ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', ''NoCountryForOldMen'', ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', ''Film/{{Hugo}}'', ''Film/{{Thor}}'', ''Film/StarTrek'', ''Film/{{X-Men}}'', ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', and ''Series/GameOfThrones''.
** Two Steps from Hell have released one album, ''Invincible'', to the public, and are planning on two more releases. ''Invincible'' is available on iTunes and Amazon mp3.

** In addition to their epic repertoire, Two Steps from Hell has quite a few songs that lean towards the swoonily romantic; see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzkwFzXkvZg Undying Love]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8oU2YI6xgw Frozen Moment]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ctj97FAylQ Love & Loss]] (featured in the BreakingDawn Trailer), and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnC8maoTSeA Goodbye for Now]].

* The upcoming alien invasion film ''Battle: Los Angeles'', has [[http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2069535001/ some strangely enthralling music for the trailer]].

* Really Slow Motion's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLrZh8PKS4I Gender]] fits right in with the tone of CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB_3X570NYk Prelude]], by Pusher Music. Not only is it used in the trailer for the ''TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', it just gives you that "Last Stand" kind of feeling in general. Love or hate [=TF3=], that trailer music was just epic.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTn47_U_lGs World Collapsing]] from the ''SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman'' trailer. Epicness ensues.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBdWUMqGZKU Something to Fight For]] by Sencit Music from the ''IronMan3'' trailer. Just...listen to it.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi_xfOXJ19o Dawn of the Titans]] from the ''Lincoln'' trailer. Gotta love that choir.
* Scala's version of Music/{{Metallica}}'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvN4pExX7g Nothing Else Matters]], which is attached to the trailer for ''Zero Dark Thirty'', gives the trailer, and by extension the story, a haunting feeling.

* Audiomachine's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=580_F9F75NU "New Beginning"]] from the ''Film/{{Noah}}'' trailer.

* The trailer for DavidFincher's version of [[TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo]] features [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyGokPxTJbA an abridged cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song]] and manages to be unbelievably awesome in just a minute and a half.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_kP-dLDAgQ Theatrical Trailer 2]] for ''TheHungerGamesCatchingFire''. Starts off with a lead-in of just soft piano and string instruments that give a feeling of "hope" which is one of the movie's main themes. Then slowly explodes into a quickening pace of instruments all colliding together, probably one of the most breath-taking trailers that has gotten me hyped for a movie in the past decade.

* The use of "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning" by Music/SmashingPumpkins in the ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' promo. What a perfect way to recycle a song from the great soundtrack of a horrible Batman movie.

* For [[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2]], an instrumental of Les Friction's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MJd0RTOW1Y Louder Than Words]] was used, particularly the part starting at 3:44. The song was also used in OzTheGreatAndPowerful trailers.

* Scala's version of ''Metallica'''s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvN4pExX7g Nothing Else Matters]], which is attached to the trailer for ''Zero Dark Thirty'', gives the trailer, and by extension the story, a haunting feeling.

* Star Trek Into Darkness had an incredible theme called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=L7tje63-7XU Icarus]] written by Superhuman for one of its trailers.

** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krdsLXJP6zQ Dragon Rider]]" is nice and up-tempo, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQMpRWuT6hk Flameheart]]" is like a OneWingedAngel moment for the good guys, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFs0Je3jNO8 Starvation]]" is...just listen.
** Gems from their ''Legend'' album include "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLdhFVzqt4 Heart of Courage]]" (used in the 2012 Olympics, no less), "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtBll0rh4nM Hypnotica]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gxFGSCnD74 Smell of Victory]]."
*** The "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa8cMYc0H6g Freedom Fighters]]" track from the 2009 film ''Film/StarTrek'''s movie trailer is MadeOfWin. And if it counts, the dialogue selections for the trailer just add to its kickass: "Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved eight hundred lives. Including yours. I dare you to do better. ''Enlist. In Starfleet.''"

*** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlL_-5VfQJI Protectors of the Earth]]'' is quite possibly the most unspeakably '''epic''' piece of music ever created. It's been extremely popular, used in promotion for Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Inkheart, Mass Effect 3 and the Olympics.

** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyKTwbLAhtc Black Blade]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqNRIM2pdaQ Ocean Princess]]'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayZCD5iGjgU Master of Shadows]]''. 'Nuff said.
*** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep5Ly6nfl9c He Who Brings the Night]]'', ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ehcpw_DpE Free Fall]]'', and possibly the greatest song they have ever composed: '''''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIZCYNWpgso To Glory]]!'''''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_LpGi_K9no Glory & Honor]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-gcdAVbSY0 Legions of Faith]].

** One of the best would have to be [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21wEdHXtBMk Magika]]. The strings and the vocals are just awesome!
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1H-18HwYU Chopperhead]]. Two minutes and five seconds of thundering drums, [[AutobotsRockOut raging electric guitars]], and [[OminousLatinChanting screaming choir.]]

* Quite a few things, such as TopGear, enjoy using the awesome, climactic theme music from TwentyEightDaysLater, the song "In a Heartbeat" by John Murphy. As the name would suggest, the song has a tempo similar to a heart beating or a clock ticking ominously down.
