BIOGRAPHY:
------------------
With
their beginnings in the mid eighties, Covenant hail
from the south of Sweden in a town called Helsingborg.
Their music originally was described as big band electronics,
but since the early nineties when their membership was
pared down to the current trio, their sound has been an
accessible blend of electro-pop and industrialism, infinitely
danceable, filled with an uplifting and upbeat energy.
Igniting the E.B.M. scene with unstoppable dance floor
hits, Covenant remain the mark to reach for many new emerging
bands. With the perfect combination of Eskil’s haunting,
dark, majestic vocals, pulsating techno beats, creative
noise samples, and amazing synth work, the band has created
a strong North American following as well as an enormous
European base.
Their sound has been compared to an assemblage of styles
ranging from Prodigy, Front 242, Front Line Assembly,
Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation, and Kraftwerk; but the
final result is like nothing anybody else has been putting
out. Covenant has redefined the way Electronic Body Music
is perceived.
