In Times Before the Light is the debut album by Norwegian black metal band Covenant, released in 1997 through Mordgrimm.

The album is considered to be symphonic black metal and provided Covenant a good fan base in Norway.

The release was significantly delayed due to loss of album artwork in shipment to the record company.

The album was re-released on 26 January 2007 through VME/Head Not Found as In Times Before the Light 1995, with tracks from their 1994 demo From the Storm of Shadows as bonus content.

On 29 October 2011, Nagash did a one-time only performance of the entire album at the Aurora Infernalis III festival in Arnhem, Netherlands.
