YouTube Channel Description:

21 original compositions by Two Steps co-founder, Thomas J. Bergersen. NEMESIS is all about grandeur and monumental power, but these cues are undeniably, masterful compositions. NEMESIS features a 100-piece orchestra, a large percussion ensemble and the famous Tabernacle choir. Cues range from spectacular action to the divine beauty of truly emotional drama pieces. NEMESIS features the seductive voice of Norwegian Merethe Soltvedt. Several pieces are offered as alternate versions of various intensity levels, to give editors more flexibility. To meet the ever growing demand for more sound volume, we are also introducing a new Ultra Loud Definition™ feature. The Ultra Loud Definition™ cues have been remixed and remastered to provide maximum loudness for your production. All the biggest cues on NEMESIS are available in Ultra Loud Definition™. Over one year in the making, NEMESIS is perhaps our finest release to date. We've used extraordinary musical talents from around the world to bring you this timeless trailer music.
