The first long-form release for Blind Guardian, following on from their two EP releases under Lucifer's Heritage.
In the same way as their earlier releases, there are distinct references to Helloween and Iron Maiden throughout this album. Certainly the guitaring is obvious at times, and allows their influences to shine through.
Songs like Majesty, Guardian of The Blind and Battalions Of Fear are my favourites on the album, and in my opinion the stand-outs.
This is a good album, impressive for a first up effort. Good songs, good vocals. It was a sign of what the band became.
Rating : A solid start, before their direction changed slightly later on. 3/5.
