Our Destiny

Thomas Bergersen may not be a name you're familiar with, and that's understandable. He does what's known as position music aka trailer music, and since it's not pop, played on the radio, have music videos for it, and only heard when you see a movie trailer his and other names that create this style of music won't ever be household. Thomas' should be though in my estimation because he is an amazingly talented artist. In fact Thomas and his friend and co-founder of the production team Two Steps From Hell, Nick Phoenix, should both be known names.

Thomas's latest album is entitled Sun and Our Destiny is a grand, epic, sweeping piece that pulls you in if you let it. It comes in with full on drama that leads into a lovely piano movement which then brings you into the bombast. The second you get caught up in that he changes the mood of the piece entirely and throws this amazing heroic theme at you. The strings are a real treat for your ears, and the second movement of the theme is built upon with vocals which adds a level of drama to a satisfying crescendo that ushers in the finale.

If you aren't aware of Thomas then I am happy to make the introduction and suggest you check out his piece Final Frontier on the same album. Along with Two Steps From Hell's pieces Nero and All Is Hell That Ends Well. No matter how many times I hear those pieces they still blow my mind and maybe they'll blow yours too. Then maybe you'll see why I think he should be a household name.
