Gandalf's Fist: "If you want a good idea on what Gandalf's Fist is all about then look no further. To celebrate our Ten Year anniversary we've put together this compilation to allow everyone to sample our back catalogue. Chronologically. there's one track from every album, including our very first demo from back in 2005. As an extra treat the first three songs have been remixed, remastered, and in some sections, even re-recorded… which we've done to thank all our existing fans and supporters out there with some nice fresh versions of our favourite tracks! Rather than do a traditional "best of", we've picked one song from each record which means something special to us - check out the individual track notes for each song for more details."
