I guess this could be considered as their first "real" release if we don't count the demos, and it's a good an EP, with most of the songs being familiar from their later full lengths. Frankly, I don't think that the songs from the second full length are as good as the ones from the first full length, so on paper this album doesn't look so promising, but I do enjoy listening to "Defenders In The Name Of Hellas" and "The Lion Of Sparta" quite a lot. The absolute highlight to me, though, is the bonus track "From The North Comes The War" w/ guitarist Ivano Spiga on vocals.
