"Don't even bother with reisues of this album. It is not metal. It is industrial. If you like industrial then you will really like this album. If you're looking for one of the greatest black metal albums ever, search a record store in Norway. This isn't it."

"This listing does not tell you that this version is totally remixed. It's still a good album if you like black metal and some industrial effects added in. The ORIGINAL version IS BETTER!"
Does not compare to the original

"As we all know, this release of "In Times Before The Light" is a re-issued version of the original recording. The original version of this album is incredible. I am lucky enough to own a copy. The reason they re-issued the album is because they shared the same name as a band from Sweden. Beacuase of this they were forced to change their name to The Kovenant. After the name changed, unfortunately so did the bands sound. This not being a good change at all. If you do ever get to hear / own a copy of the original Black Metal version, listen to that rather than this. As another reviewer stated, the whole atmoshpere of the original recording has been lost. The album doesn't feel the same.

"The samples are WRONG, they are from the 2002 "remix" album!(their worst album)This re-release includes the 1994 demo "from the storm of shadows" as bonus content. This is an essential album in your nineties Black metal collection!"
