There's a bootleg version of this album with another tracklist, plus "Night of Dark Ages" demo '93 and a track from the promo '93. It has a black/white cover instead of the colored one and was done by No Colours Records without permission of the band. The track titles are also changed as following:

1. Under the Spell of the Dragon
2. Desecrate from the Dark War
3. Son of the Fire
4. Black Moon's Blood
5. Dream from the Ancient Land
6. The Return of Flying Horses
7. Demons of the White Moon
8. Force of Desecration
9. Freezing Wind of Winter
10. Outro

First released by Hypervorea Records/Sub Terra on CD probably limited to 500 copies.

12" Picture LP released by Iron Pegasus Records, limited to 333 copies.
There is a note included on the LP that states that has been a pressing error on the beginning of the album.

There is a false year of release circling the internet. The album was recorded in 1994 and released in 1996 by Hypervorea Records but somehow the most known release year is 1994 and this impossible because the label didn't even exist in 1994. Also, according to their official MySpace page the album is indeed released in 1996.
