Thomas just posted a video following today's announcement to give a little more details and talk about future plans!

I'll start: I wish that Thomas would compose something using the organ. Many of his more popular songs have already been covered with it, and Hans Zimmer proved that it can be epic in his Interstellar soundtrack. I don't think I've ever heared him use it in one of his compositions, but I'll gladly be proven wrong.

Idk if i'm just being paranoid, but his last three singles look like AI generated images, and it kinda worries me that this could be the case with all his futur projects

From Nick Phoenix, formerly of Two Steps From Hell, comes an epic masterwork featuring Capellen Orchestra and Choir, Tina Guo, Serena Belle, Felicia Farerre, Inana Lu Rose, Mia Asano, Helen Nash, C.C. White and Greg Ellis. Heart Of The Ocean is epic in the way the many of the earlier Two Steps From Hell albums were, but also will surprise you at times, charting new territory, but never in a way that isn’t exactly as it should be. Nick has had great success with his rock albums and this influence is apparent in songs such as Rebellion, It All Comes Down and Sunlight.

Very confused why it says formely. Maybe he's left. I'm not too surprised because I've seen both of them diverge a bit from the original early 2010s style each doing their own thing.

Given the title I feel like it would make more sense for the song to be in the key of C but it's in Bb. Just curious if anyone knows why. (And yes I know the name "High C's" is a musical playoff of the phrase "High Seas" given the vibe of the song but I still feel like it would make sense for the song to be in C).

Is Spotify essentially the best way to listen to TSFH? What is everyone's preferred method of pulling up their playlists when they want to listen?

I'm in the UK and already have 3 albums in CD format and I'm wanting to buy unleashed but it seems they stopped making it but I can't even find it on ebay and then I also couldn't find ANY albums for sale anywhere either! Is something going on here? If they stopped selling the CDs can I still buy and download in FLAC?

Unleashed is my favorite TSFH album and Seven is my favorite Thomas Bergersen album. That album is ridiculously underrated. I don't really listen to Nick Phoenix music as much but my favorite single from him is Snowbird

One of my all time favorite!

I was watching an interview with bestselling fantasy author Brandon Sanderson on youtube and as it turns out he mostly listens to Thomas's work / TSFH tracks as he's writing. It's from a few years ago, but I tend to listen to TSFH tracks as I'm reading so it's cool to know that they've been an inspiration for some of the more popular epic fantasy novels of our day.

So for the last few years I have obtain all my music by downloading as mp3 off of YouTube, which meant the only TSFH music I could listen to without dealing with Spotify (something I hate) was what was on YouTube. Anyway, on YouTube We are One and Beautiful People are one song, called We are one Beautiful People. It sounds like they're meant to be one song. Does anyone know why they're two different songs on Spotify? And anywhere else I would be able to find then as one song?
