Invincible is the first public album by the group Two Steps From Hell, released in May 2010. It consists of 22 tracks written by composers Thomas J. Bergersen and Nick Phoenix.[2] The tracks are a collection of fan favourites from prior demonstration albums previously only available to the industry, "represent[ing] the very best of Thomas and Nick’s first few years at Two Steps From Hell". Two tracks, however, are brand new compositions ("Am I Not Human?" and "To Glory").[3][4]

Having gained a cult following online following their 2006 creation, fans of the group began "relentlessly begging" for their private industry music to be made available commercially.[3] Two Steps From Hell announced the album in late 2009; Bergersen later confirmed, "we are doing this purely to please our fans".[5] It had the working title of Genesis.[6] Upon release, it went to number 1 on the iTunes Classical charts[7] and remained in the top 10 for over a year.[8]

Initially a digital release, it was eventually released physically a year later via CD Baby, after the group reached 20,000 likes on their Facebook page.[9][10]
