Guardian's 1989 debut release on the Enigma Records label. Oz Fox (Stryper)
produced and mixed the album in addition to contributing vocals. It's still
amazing that this eventual classic sold 30,000 units in just the first month of
its release!

Expect hook-laden melodic metal that combines huge Stryper-like vocal harmonies
with a top notch display of musicianship. Paul Cawley contributes a gritty but
clean sounding mid-octave ranged vocal in addition to handling rhythm guitar
duties. Palacios is a wonderful talent who brings out the best in the band's
sound with his melodic flavoured and fast paced lead guitar work. Drummer Rikk
Hart and bassist David Bach comprise a tight sounding rhythm section. This 20th
Anniversary Edition includes a complete digital remaster for maximum sonic
clarity. David Bach contributes exclusive liner notes regarding the recording
and release of First Watch. And, it's all packaged in a full color digipak!
Since the debut release, Guardian has been a household name in Christian hard
rock and metal circles, contemporaries with Stryper, Bride and Whitecross!
