"Man of Steel" from Fired Earth Music was used in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief campaign.  It's a pretty epic track from the album 'Vulcano', composed by Troels Folmann, and it can be heard in the international trailer below (1:04 - end), as well as in a few featurettes.  You can watch the featurettes at Troels Folmann's blog.

Also, be sure to check out the other trailers for music by Full Tilt, Audiomachine, Two Steps From Hell, and Ars Arcana.  Yep, music from 'The Savage Tongue' is still being used in trailers.

Fired Earth Music contacted us to let us know about their newest addition to their library!  First I'll introduce the company itself, if anyone missed our previous post about Fired Earth Music and their debut album Vulcano.  (Be sure to check out their awesome new website, if you haven't already!)

FIRED EARTH MUSIC, launched Summer 2009, is the new music library causing a buzz in Hollywood. Providing premium cues exclusively for motion picture advertising, Fired Earth Music is working with esteemed trailer music composers to release small collections of high-end theatrical cues quarterly. 

Their explosive first album, Vulcano, was composed by British Academy Award winner, Troels Folmann.  Folmann has specialized in emotional and epic orchestral scores for feature trailers, including: Valkyrie, Xmen 3, Spiderman 3, 10,000 B.C., and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 to name a few. 

Vulcano is Fired Earth Music’s epic debut album, described as: 

“The ultimate hybrid fusing Dramatic Orchestral with Rock, Electronic and Tribal, all blazing with intensity, emotion and intrigue."

The small album contains 18 unique cues, each with alternate mixes and an effects pack. Check out the reel here:

Cyanite is their new album, and a wide range of themes are on the slab: slasher, hostage, mystery, suspense, abduction, torture, sex and sci-fi.  This horror / suspense / fantasy album, was composed by the highly acclaimed composer,  Aleksandar Dimitrijevic, whose cues have been used on campaigns for Spiderman, Narnia, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Underworld: Evolution.  Cyanite is described as,

“A gritty sonic panic attack of bone-sawing
 and nerve-shredding cues from the 
edge of psychosis.”

Fired Earth Music is now turning their attention to their third album for release in December. We'll be sure to post about it here, the moment it comes out.

Troels Folmann has recently posted an epic dhol demo on his blog. He made available to download it along with the only-dhol version.

Troels Brun Folmann is a video game composer. He worked mainly with Eidos Interactive for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary. He won the Mix Foundation TEC Award for the Best Interactive Entertainment Sound Production at his composing debut for Tomb Raider with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. He also composed the main theme tune for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Underworld utilizing the old Tomb Raider theme in the beginning and end of the piece. Altough he is a video game composer, he published this epic demo reel which is, hmm... how can i say?, AWESOME. Really i did not know he is as good as we can imagine from listening to his compositions. This reel is simply impressive, larger-than-life, immersive, uplifting,...and so on. I like the way he uses drums. Combining vocal with choir makes this demo extremely exotic. The final climax should be more powerful but outstanding work indeed. Rating: 8.5/10
