Two Steps From Hell is a company that sells licenses for trailer music. They have done the music for trailers of movies like 2012, Angels & Demons, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Dark Knight as well as Up, Twilight and Sweeny Todd. Normally they don't sell their music. This is, as far as I understood, not an album for a movie or game but a collection of their most popular works, and we're really lucky that it has become available to the public!
I just had to get it (only $8 on Amazon!). Epic orchestral music lovers, gather around. These are the greatest of the greatest in their genre. The sound quality has been enhanced digitally; I don't recommend listening to this album with bass boost filters.
Invincible features twenty-two tracks of fast-paced epic trailer music. Most tracks are relatively short (they had to fit the trailers), but they offer a wide variety within the genre. Recurring motifs across multiple tracks are hard to find, but they do exist (compare Undying Love with To Glory for example). With the great strings, deep drum rythms and large mixed choir, this album worked its way to my favorites easily.
To highlight some tracks is a lot to ask! I would highlight all of them eventually. One very special track though, and I'm sure a lot of you have already found that, is Heart of Courage. That track just gives me goose bumps. Also rather interesting is Hypnotica; it makes me think of Hans Zimmer or Klaus Badelt somehow.
I would ask you to enjoy this album, but I don't think you can prevent enjoying Invincible.

For a number of years Two Steps From Hell have been writing fantastic music for mainly film trailers - although some of their music has been used for tv trailers such as the 3D Doctor Who series 5 trailer. However as with other trailer music companies, they have not previously released their music in an album. But as fans of the music increased while releasing their music on websites such as youtube, they decided they might as well release an album of their best music which is available to buy on Amazon.
The music is simply fantastic and keeps your adrenaline pumping. What a wonderful album. Thank you 'Two Steps From Hell'!
