'''''...Where the Shadows Lie''''' is the first full-length album by the Finnish [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Battlelore]], released in 2002. The album received good reviews and gained the band a loyal fan base. No singles were released from the album, although a video was filmed for the song "Journey to Undying Lands", used to promote the band throughout Europe. After the release of this album in 2002, guitarist Tommi Havo had to leave the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Jussi Rautio.

The album cover features an image of [[Morgoth]], painted by [[Ted Nasmith]] in 1998, titled "Morgoth and High King of Noldor" (used with permission).
