"Who Dares Wins" is a compilation of various rare Bolt Thrower tracks from EPs and other sources: Tracks 1-4 are from the Cenotaph EP, tracks 5-8 are from the Spearhead EP and the tracks 9 and 10 are from the same session as "...For Victory", previously released on "Rareache" (the anniversary compilation boxset of Earache Records) and the Japanese version of "...For Victory". It is released on Earache Records, Mosh 208 on 14 September 1998. The cover art is also taken from the "Spearhead" EP.

The release coincided with the release of the album "Mercenary", which was Bolt Thrower's first album for Metal Blade Records. The band have hence accused Earache to try and cash-in on the band. Also, the album was originally intended to be titled "No Guts, No Glory"; however because that is the title of a song "Mercenary" Earache had to scrap that title. The band recommends not to buy this as they would never agree on putting down a compilation album.
