Two Steps From Hell 发布了另一张史诗般的、夸张的、令人振奋的专辑，名为 Unleashed。 这张专辑提供了 Nick Phoenix 和 Thomas Bergersen 丰富多样的作品，并以各种歌手为特色——当然是 Merethe Soltvedt，还有 Felicia Farerre、Uyanga Bold、C.C. 怀特和莱内亚·亚当森。 在 Facebook 上，Thomas Bergersen 表示“[他] 为这张专辑写的曲目通常比上一张专辑的音调要轻一些”。 那些喜欢我的专辑“Sun”的人，他说，“会喜欢我在 Unleashed 上的一些曲目，最引人注目的是“Never Give Up On Your Dreams”，它最初是为 Sun 写的。 Unleashed 还收录了我创作的一首名为“Impossible”的曲目。 这首曲目结合了我多年来对音乐的许多影响，从 SID 芯片音乐、恍惚、爱尔兰吉格、夸张的管弦乐、电子乐等。”
与其他未压缩混音不同，“秘密旋律”的未压缩混音没有合唱团。尽管承诺是这样，但这并没有在 CD 发行版中修复。
这张专辑是唯一一张在实体发行版中歌曲顺序略有不同的专辑。更具体地说，歌曲 1-19 是相同的，但接下来的 19 首是第一批未压缩的混音，See Me Fight 是歌曲 39，然后是器乐版本（或 Wild Heart 的替代合唱团版本）和See Me Fight 的未压缩混音。
这可能是由于标准 CD 上的内存空间有限。如果原始混音占用两张光盘，那么发行版将有四张光盘长。
这张专辑和 Miracles 是仅有的两张将同名曲目作为开场曲目的专辑之一。
这张专辑是向公众发行的第三长专辑（时长，不包括交替混音），持续 1 小时 24 分 8 秒。
扣除交替混音后，这张专辑的平均曲目长度第二长：4.21 分钟。它被龙击败了 0.09 分钟。
The only songs to not possess an instrumental version are Wild Heart, I’ll Stand Alone, Westward and See Me Fight.
Snow Angels doesn’t have one either, but this is justified in that its original mix doesn’t include choir.
If one discounts the alternate mixes, this album has the most amount of songs with vocals with 14. It shares this honor with SkyWorld.
This album features the most amount of credited vocalists, with seven.
Coincidentally, Merethe Soltvedt, C.C. White, Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen were featured on both.
For the first time since SkyWorld (or Battlecry, if one does not count that album’s rereleased tracks), Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix are featured evenly, with 10 songs each, not counting the alternate tracks.
This is the second album in a row where all the tracks by Nick Phoenix posses vocals.
Including the alternate mixes, this album is the largest public album to be released.
Excluding the alternate mixes, the honor goes to Halloween.
This honor also extends to the physical release, which encompasses three discs.
“Never Give Up On Your Dreams” was slated to be released on Thomas Bergersen’s solo album Sun, but was released on here instead.
This piece also features Thomas on the violin.
Each of the genres combined in “Impossible” (SID chip music, trance, Irish jigs, bombastic orchestral and electronica to name a few), is directly influenced by the genres that inspired Bergersen, according to his Facebook page.
“Snow Angels” features Thomas on the cello, hence the (feat.) in the title as it appears online.
This album has the most amount of songs with English lyrics, with four. It shares this honor with Battlecry.
Not counting Demon’s Dance, Legacy or the Anthology albums, “Run Free” is Thomas Bergersen’s 150th public track released under the Two Steps From Hell label.
If one goes further and discounts the alternate versions of “Compass” and “Star Sky,” the honor then goes to “Secret Melody.”
Not counting Demon’s Dance, Legacy, the Anthology albums or the instrumental version of “Battleborne,” “One Above All” is Nick Phoenix’s 100th public track released under the Two Steps From Hell label.
“Impossible” and “Run Free” are the longest (8:55) and shortest (2:38) tracks on the album, respectively.
“Secret Melody”‘s Uncompressed Mix doesn’t possess the choir, unlike other Uncompressed Mixes. This wasn’t fixed on the CD release despite being promised to be.
This album is the only one to have a slightly different song order on the physical release. More specifically, songs 1-19 are the same, but then the next 19 are the uncompressed mixes of the first batch with See Me Fight being song 39, followed by the instrumental versions (or alternate choir version in the case of Wild Heart) and See Me Fight‘s uncompressed mix.
This likely due to the limited memory space on a standard CD. Had the original mixes taken up two discs, then the release would’ve been four discs long.
This album, along with Miracles, is one of only two albums to have the titular track also be the opening track.
This album is the third-longest album (duration-wise, excluding the alternate mixes) released to the public, lasting 1 hour, 24 minutes and 8 seconds.
Discounting the alternate mixes, this album has the second-longest average track length: 4.21 minutes. It is beaten by Dragon by 0.09 minutes.
