Songs
Almost all of the tracks were edited and re-recorded in the band's following albums.
- "Invernal Fury" was included in Legendary Tales under the name "Rage of the Winter".
- "Warrior of Ice" was also included in Legendary Tales.
- "Land of Immortals" was also included in Legendary Tales, but its intro got separated and it became another track, Virgin Skies.
- "Holy Wind" was reproposed in the 1998 album Symphony of Enchanted Lands as "Riding the Winds of Eternity".
- "Tears at Nightfall" is an instrumental only track that was never re-recorded.
- "Alive and Proud" became "Lord of the Thunder" in Legendary Tales.
- "Eternal Glory" was also reintroduced in Symphony of Enchanted Lands, but the one-and-a-half minute intro that had nothing but sounds of winds and rain got removed.

gollark: Free until the company implodes from offering too many free ARM servers I suppose.
gollark: So you have a free ARM server allegedly forever but no inbound IPv4 network. Weird.
gollark: I don't think they offer ARM. Are you using the Oracle free plan as a proxy server?
gollark: This says that it *is* on Oracle Cloud. Weird.
