Songs

"Invernal Fury", "Warrior of Ice", "Alive and Proud" and "Land of Immortals" were all included in Legendary Tales, with varying changes.

"Invernal Fury" and "Alive and Proud" were renamed "Rage of the Winter" and "Lord of the Thunder" respectively; "Land of Immortals" had its intro split off into a different track, "Virgin Skies".

"Tears at Nightfall" has never been re-recorded or re-released officially.
