## Information

*Halloween*, released September 25th, 2012, was the third public album published by Two Steps From Hell and the nineteenth overall. As one can see by the cover, it featured 48 horror-themed songs, 47 of which were taken from industry albums Shadows and Nightmares, Dynasty, All Drums Go To Hell, Pathogen, Nemesis, Dreams & Imaginations, Legend, Ashes, The Devil Wears Nada, Power of Darkness and Nero. Notably, a select few had already released to the public on Demon's Dance.

In addition, one new song was featured - "To Die on Halloween" - which had lyrics performed by Nick Phoenix. New vocalist, Monica Barta, was also featured on *This is Oh My Dear* (a lyriced version of *Monkey Business* from The Devil Wears Nada) and *Deck the Halls with Blood* (which was also edited to include lyrics since its original release on Ashes).
