About

An experimental metal band from Hamar, Norway, founded in 1992/1993 by Nagash/Lex Icon (Stian Arnesen) and Blackheart/Psy Coma (Amund Svensson).

Covenant was initially founded as an atmospheric/symphonic/melodic/black metal hybrid, but made a drastic stylistic turn towards more modern industrial/electronic influenced metal on their third album Animatronic. Since 1999 the band has been known as The Kovenant as they were forced to change name after a copyright dispute. Since 2003 they have been working on their fifth album Aria Galactica, which remains uncompleted.

The group announced the reunion of "Nexus Polaris" line-up in 2024.
