...Where the Shadows Lie is the first full length album by Battlelore. It had good reviews and fan support. No singles were released from the album however a video was filmed for the song "Journey to Undying Lands" and this was used to promote the band throughout Europe. After the release of this album in 2002, guitarist Tommi Havo had to leave the band due to personal reasons, he was replaced by Jussi Rautio.
The album cover features an image of Morgoth, painted by Ted Nasmith.
