In this case, it’s a simple question, but it speaks volumes. They don’t even appear suspicious on first pass. These are like Easter eggs dropped into the text without any fanfare. Anyways, thanks again, I finally understand the concept behind their name (and I can finally have something concrete to explain to them when they ask me about what's up with the name).The Gospels writers somehow plumb the depths of meaning with simple phrases and stories, such as Pontius Pilate’s response to Jesus: “What is truth?” These words coming from a Roman governor to the arrested carpenter could not be more loaded with meaning. Haha, I might have over analyzed that a bit, but that was how I interpreted it. I also like it when they said "everyone's been two steps from Hell in one way or another", and I can REALLY relate to that, too: suffering from terrible problems in the past and so on, you know, the type of problems (life's trials/tests) that can make someone feel like they are in hell you know when life is REALLY testing you, subjecting you from harsh situations and pressure/friction in order to "polish" you into a beautiful diamond if you were able to overcome the challenge.Īnd on top of that, I found their music to be really inspiring, I mean, just from most, if not all, of the titles in their works alone, the first impression I get is that it's meant to inspire one to be brave, to keep moving, to be courageous, and all the other virtues I could mention virtues that one must cultivate in order to overcome life's challenges ("Hell"), thereby making one emerge two steps from "Hell". So at the end of the day, it's designed to be like a "sore thumb" and that it sounded cool. I see! Thank you so much for your answer and on sending me a link to an interview as well. and also, so that I have something concrete to explain to the people I will talk to/suggest to about Two Steps From Hell in the future, in case they asked what is the meaning of their name and so on. So yeah, if anyone would be able to answer (or even perhaps, share a video/link to an interview on the members of Two Steps From Hell wherein they were asked about why did they chose the name of their company and/or its meanings), would be greatly appreciated. I do not know if the members of this music production company really intended THAT as a meaning (officially). So yes, does anyone have ideas on why did they chose the name "Two Steps From Hell" and/or what are its origins or meaning? Because I have searched online, only to find vague answers, and the most answer I got is that: Two Steps From Hell= Hell>Purgatory>Earth or Hell>Earth>Heaven. and needless to say it kind of made me sad that they would dismiss something just because of a name. I should have known that their religious disposition was THIS strong strong enough to, in my own views, judge the book by its cover. the reason? Because of the band name "Two Steps From HELL". only to find out that they did not bother to listen at all. The next day, I talk to them about what they think of the music (because they did not bother to reply to me online). however, I also mentioned there that the name of the band/artists which produced those music is "Two Steps From Hell". So I sent them the youtube link to a music so they can get a feel of the type of music I was suggesting. I'm a fan of Two Steps From Hell from the moment I first heard of their song (Heart of Courage) which was around 4-5 years ago and I have been listening to their music ever since (one of the only few musical artists that produces music that makes me have goosebumps), and anyway, my current and most favorite music they produced is "Promise" from the album "Illusions".Īnyway, here is the situation on why I asked my question in that title: So I have a schoolmate which is my co-officer on a student organization for our school, and they were looking for songs that fits in a trailer (for a particular school event-related project) and I said I can suggest a few.
