1 | Considering that Music/TwoStepsFromHell specialize in epic music for movies and trailers, there is a ''lot'' of awesomeness to be had. |
2 | ---- |
3 | %%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utujHPkjfwI "Sons of War"]] deserves special mention. |
4 | %%Why? This is zero-context as written. |
5 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwJj2EpC8vg "Strength of a Thousand Men"]] starts off as epic battle music, then the vocalization kicks in... To quote Eiichiro Oda: |
6 | -->Through action, a man becomes a hero\ |
7 | Through death, a hero becomes a legend\ |
8 | Through time, a legend becomes a myth\ |
9 | And by learning from the myth, a man takes action |
10 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASj81daun5Q "Protectors of the Earth"]]. Makes. Everything. Epic. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-nHr97cgmQ Even My Little Pony]]. |
11 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKRUPYrAQoE "Victory"]] from ''Battlecry'' starts off quiet and slow, but then has an epic buildup that is enhanced by some female vocals. |
12 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6Q1OiF6LI "United We Stand - Divided We Fall"]] is the most viewed track on Youtube with millions of views, and it's not hard to see why. The epic build-up, the vocals, the choir - it's basically a battle happening in your ears. |
13 | * From one of Thomas Bergersen's solo albums, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SePx4QzzmY "Fearless"]], which is quite possibly the most epic heroic battle theme ever composed. |
14 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOOaH6BAwvY Christmas Medley]] is truly epic to behold, and is basically an extremely epic remix of tons of different classic Christmas songs, opera style. Sure to warm your heart. |
15 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ-QLl5qjLg "Archangel"]] starts with an epic theme. Then turns it into a crescendo. Then turns the crescendo to eleven. Then it turns it to eleven again. Then is when the chorus starts. The whole piece is a textbook example of how to keep you feeling at the edge of a big finale for the full length of the song. Makes you want to beat up some demons. |
16 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGYsq7cbVZA "Evergreen"]] truly gets across the sense of an ancient and powerful forest kingdom, hidden from the world. |
17 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv01ZdrnJZI "Blackheart"]] is epic, yes, but also, in a way, somber. |
18 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl_ndy61ON4 "For the Win"]] builds up to distilled epicness in a fresh, action-packed tune. |
19 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3qkECLJbw "Compass"]] brings to mind the breathtaking vistas of mountainous Norway, underscored with lyrics about following the ambitions of your heart and ignoring those who say you can't make it. |
20 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2iC1aCPbKA "Heart of Courage"]] is more or less ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and this outfit's SignatureSong for a reason. It is fearless, poignant, soaring, and absolutely iconic. |
21 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E147pyyxNPo "None Shall Live"]] from the ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Ultimate Edition'' trailer, the trailer for ''Film/Aquaman2018'' and two heroic scenes in ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}''. Apparently, it was ''so'' epic that ''it was extended and given lyrics!'' Behold, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpxtuUQ28UM "Children of the Sun!"]] |
22 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsi1ivi03sE "Star Sky"]] is probably the most epic lovesong you'll ever hear. |
23 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKRUPYrAQoE "Victory"]]. With a quiet intro, pounding drums, the steady build up of more and more elements, a soft and uplifting interlude followed by an epic climax, it's like TheHerosJourney in song form. |
24 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qTghUgMOeY "Impossible"]] is like Thomas Bergersen trying to one-up himself multiple times in the same song! It's almost 9 minutes of genre-blending insanity, and is nothing short of amazing for it! |
