As mentioned, percussion plays an important role in Two Steps from Hell’s music, and for this show, those instruments were played by Nick Phoenix himself, Greg Ellis, the musical director of the show and three percussionists from the orchestra. The middle one contained many different kinds of percussion instruments – for all the so-called ‘epicness’ – including a huge taiko drum in the center. The stage was divided into three platforms with the left and right ones reserved for the orchestra and choir.

When I saw the stage for the first time, I could immediately see that the presentation was important. After more than two years of waiting it was finally time to experience the new concert. I bought tickets for the concert on Apr 25, 2020, in Amsterdam, which as you can imagine was postponed because of the pandemic. He kept his promise by announcing a European tour in 2020. Bergersen, who was the only one present at the time, told the audience that he would love to return together with Phoenix. We attended Two Steps from Hell in Prague in 2018, which sold out quickly with people coming from all over Europe, so the decision was made to schedule an additional concert in the afternoon on the same day. The Two Steps from Hell concept consists of the composer duo Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix who write so-called ‘epic music’: bold-sounding orchestral pieces, most often with lots of percussion, guitars and a big choir. Even if you haven’t heard of them, you probably know their music from music for movie trailers.

There are some exceptions to that rule, one of which is the music from Two Steps from Hell.
