1995. The only members at the time were Nagash and Blackheart. The album is considered to be <a href="/wiki/Symphonic_black_metal" title="Symphonic black metal">symphonic black metal</a> and provided Covenant a good fan base in Norway. The album was created when Nagash and Blackheart were about 17 years of age. The release was significantly delayed due to loss of album artwork in shipment to the record company.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A re-recorded version of <i>In Times Before the Light</i> was released in 2002 through <a href="/wiki/Hammerheart_Records" title="Hammerheart Records">Hammerheart Records</a> due to Nagash and Blackheart (now 'Lex Icon' and 'Psy Coma') citing that they were not satisfied with the original release. Covenant were also forced to change their name to The Kovenant due to a dispute with a Swedish electronic band of the same name. The outcome is significantly different from the original; an industrial version of the original symphonic black metal album. The remixed tracks are longer, various elements were added to them and many parts were re-recorded. </p><p>The album was re-released on 26 January 2007 through <a href="/wiki/Voices_Music_%26_Entertainment" title="Voices Music & Entertainment">VME</a>/<a href="/wiki/Head_Not_Found" title="Head Not Found">Head Not Found</a> as <i>In Times Before the Light 1995</i>, with tracks from their 1994 demo <i>From the Storm of Shadows</i> as bonus content.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The material was remastered by Tom Kvalsvoll at Strype Audio. </p><p>On 29 October 2011, Nagash did a one-time only performance of the entire album at the Aurora Infernalis III festival in <a href="/wiki/Arnhem" title="Arnhem">Arnhem</a>, Netherlands.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Except for Nagash, no other members of the current incarnation of the band participated. </p><p>On 11 October 2016, Aurora Infernalis announced that an LP of the original album would be released. Since the album was never released as an LP the record label decided that "in January 2017 it will be out on 180gr gatefold LP with a 12-page full color booklet. It is limited to 666 copies (466 black, 200 splatter) and comes with the original artwork that was lost back in the day. Kutargic made the artwork in 1995, but it was never used on the different CD versions."
