### Official Website Description:

Two Steps From Hell Legend, released in 2010. Powerful and dark with some really powerful and brooding tracks. Lots of hidden gems on this album that have not yet found their way into film campaigns. Recorded by Capellen orchestra in Czech and Los Angeles.

### YouTube Channel Description:

Power Of Darkness was released March 12 2010. One year in the making, it features 32 compositions recorded with the Capellen Orchestra in Czech, drums recorded in Los Angeles, various soloists from around the globe and choir recorded in Utah.

Power of Darkness comes on a specially-designed Two Steps From Hell flashdrive and features choral and non-choral versions of all compositions. Early versions of Power Of Darkness cues have already found their way into the ad campaigns of Prince Of Persia and 2012.

Power Of Darkness is an epic trailer music release that is the best sounding, most focused music that we have ever recorded. It combines artistry with impact.

## Trivia:

* Despite not being released on any public albums at the time, *Argovia* was one of the pieces performed at the TSFH concert.
* Elista Todorova would later appear on the songs *Homecoming* and *Soulseeker* in Thomas Bergersen's solo album Illusions.
* There is some ambiguity as to who composed *Fight the Machine*: Phoenix is credited on the YouTube channel and Bergersen claims no credit for it in his discography on his website. However, Bergersen's name is credited on the anthology.
	+ It is possible the anthology album is correcting a mistake.
