Below the Lights is the seventh full-length album by Norwegian metal band Enslaved. Beyond it being their last full-length for Osmose (they would move to Candlelight for their next one, "Isa"), a few lineup changes would take place. This would be the last album Enslaved recorded with Dirge Rep on drums (he also co-wrote two songs); Cato Bekkevold would join in time for the recording of "Isa". They would also enlist a full-time keyboardist in Herbrand Larsen (who helped engineer the record), bringing the band personnel from four to five.
