Many copies of the album artwork were mysteriously lost and never again found,

of the album for many months.

In Times Before the Light Reviews
(1)Date : Apr 19, 2019
debutové album "In Times Before the Light" od nórskej úderky Covenant (neskôr si museli zmeniť názov kapely na The Kovenant, z dôvodu už existujúcej EMB kapely s rovnakým názvom) v dobe vydania nespôsobilo na metalovej scéne veľký rozruch (to sa stalo až pri druhom výbornom albume "Nexus Polaris"), avšak aj s odstupom množstva rokov je potrebné uviesť, že patrí ku kvalitným Melodickým Black Metal -ovým albumom, ktoré patria k tomu lepšiemu v rámci danej scény. Hudba je prevažne v strednom, prípadne rýchlejšom tempe, avšak gitarová hra je vždy sprevádzaná klávesovými prípadne akustickými vyhrávkami, je celkom melodická a čiastočne aj atmosférická. Rev (spev) je klasický black metalový, avšak aj napriek občasnej monotónnosti patrí k tým lepším. Jednou malou nevýhodou je, že niektoré piesne sú si celkom podobné. Taktiež bicie sú v rámci scény celkom dobre zvládnuté a nefrčia v jednom tempe, naopak prispôsobujú sa celkovej hudbe. Neskôr - v roku 2002 bolo dané album remixované a vydané pod hlavičkou The Kovenant - In Times Before the Light s využitím elektronických zvukov a čiastočne aj iných postupov (pôsobí chladnejšie, avšak menej temnejšie, no tiež nie je zlé).

the first album didn't interest me much, but it also contains a few good pieces

토속적이면서도 신비로운 분위기 제대로 잡으며 얼음동굴 크리스탈 같은 멜로디가 귀를 얼리고, 시종일관 흘러넘치는데도 그저 적절하게만 느껴진 신스의 활용은 앳머스페릭함을 자아냅니다. 그 어린 나이에 이 완성된 사운드를 만들어냈다는게 믿겨지지가 않습니다. 도대체 노르웨이는 뭐하는 땅이길래, 이런 재능들이 나왔고, 계속해서 나오고 있는 것일까요.

당시의 멜로딕 블랙메탈 수작답다. 스산하고 차가운 멜로디와 분위기가 맘에 들었다. 이 수작을 그 어린 나이에 만들었다는 점이 상당히 놀랍다.

초딩질의 드럼이 유톡 티는게 문제이지만 단점을 뛰어 넘을 멜로디가 강하게 살아 있는 멜심블 계의 유명한 음반인데 이것을 중학생이 맨들었다는게 연구대상될만한 문제작 ㅋㅋㅋ

음산함과 분위기가 살아있게 레코딩도 적절히 되어있고 멜로디도 빼놓지 않았다. 키보드 사운드 비중이 상대적으로 커서 정통블랙을 고수하시는 리스너들께서는 삼가하시길...

이 1집을 이 프로젝트 밴드의 명반으로 뽑는 사람들이 많은데 사실 1집이나 2집이나 두 앨범다 명반의 대접을 받을 가치는 충분하다. 좀더 음산하고 심포닉한 '블랙'메탈의 사운드에 치중한 데뷔작. 당시 나가쉬의 나이가 몇살이었는지 아는사람? ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
이 앨범도 요샌 안
