First Watch

First Watch is the first official album of Christian metal band Guardian. It was released in 1989 by Enigma Records and produced by Stryper's guitarist, Oz Fox.
This is the only album of the band (not including independent releases) to feature former members Paul Cawley (vocals) and Rikk Hart (drums). Both left the band after the tour supporting this album.
Retroactive records re-issued the album in honor of it's 20th anniversary. Bass player David Bach adds liner notes telling about how the album was actually recorded in 1988. However their label Enigma made them wait until 1989 to release it because they wanted the band to tour hard in their home state of California to build up more interest before putting the album out.
