Classics Volume One, also stylised as Classics, Vol. 1, is the fifth public album by the group Two Steps From Hell, released in June 2013. It consists of 23 tracks written by composers Thomas J. Bergersen and Nick Phoenix.[1] This album is the first of their public albums available in lossless audio.[2] All songs except "Return from Darkness" and "Path to Earth" are from their previous demonstration albums. The album also features an extended version of "Eternal Sorrow" from the Nemesis album, as well as tweaked versions of "Magnan Imus", "White Witch", and "The World Is Mind".
The album was later re-released to the industry via Extreme Music, containing two new brand-new bonus tracks.[3]
Tracks 3, 8, 17, and 22 are reworked versions from their original releases.
Two slightly different versions of the album were released; the seventh track issued on iTunes[4] and CD Baby[5] is different to the seventh track issued via Amazon Music.
