Thanks to those that are responsable for remastering/ remixing this album, it really needed it. "Battalions of Fear" now has the sound that it deserves (Nothing wrong with the original; I have both original and the remastered). I can now listen to this album minus the muffled sound and having to turn the stereo to a high volume. This is definately worth picking up and replacing the original version with this one.

It's hard, after listening to Battalions of Fear, to believe that this is the same band who would record classic albums like Imaginations From the Other Side and Nightfall in Middle Earth.

I own the original No Remorse Records pressings of their first 3 albums, and the sound is flawless (to my tastes, anyway). ...

What we have here is Blind Guardian's debut album "Battalions Of Fear" in a "modern" shape as said by the band. The album has been completely remixed and remastered and they've added some demo songs from their early works as "Lucifer's Heritage." When I first heard "Battalions Of Fear" it sounded somewhat "typical" of a debut album from a band who has been around since the 1980s as far as sound quality goes - somewhat weak drums, thin guitars, less bass guitar presense, and reverbed vocals. The remix ...
