‘The album immediately comes off with the in-your-face, indisputably metal sound. Riffs are fast and melodic, yet fierce. Guardian of the Blind fires off with a barrage of double bass and thrash metal guitar riffs while Hansi Kürsch’s youthful, vigorous voice echoes beyond. Run for the Night and By the Gates of Moria both start with dark, menacing guitar riffs before progressing into rhythmically enchanting tracks, the former of which features epic power metal choruses resounding in the black chamber. The title track, Battalions of Fear begins with a low, percussive onslaught of metal riffs while Hansi begins his demonic verbal assault of heavy metal mayhem. The song soon ascends into a realm of guitar shredding madness, one that all musicians would gladly reside in’ – Sputnik Music
