The 2014 release of his first published written work, Colin Frake on Fire Mountain, was accompanied by a Two Steps From Hell soundtrack release featuring music composed by himself and Thomas Bergersen. The second installment, Colin Frake Asclepius, was published in April 2017.

On 15 November 2015 Phoenix's son, Jack, who was 15 years old, was killed in a hit and run incident. The album Vanquish was dedicated to his memory.
