COVENANT BIOGRAPHY
There is more than one known artist who once went under the name Covenant:
1. Covenant is a band from Sweden that has furthered electronic body music ("EBM" - pioneered in the 80s by the likes of Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb), futurepop, and synth pop since the early 1990s.
Covenant is preparing a European tour to promote its sixth studio album, Skyshaper. Skyshaper had its European release on 2006 March 3 and an American release on 2006 March 7.
2. Covenant, now known as The Kovenant, was a Norwegian band which has evolved from a melodic symphonic black metal band to industrial metal/harsh industrial on more recent albums. The band was originally known as Covenant, but due to a dispute with the Swedish electro band that shared the same name (see Covenant), it was later changed to The Kovenant.
3. Covenant is also the name of the progressive rock project of Dave Gryder, ex-drummer of metal band Rotting Corpse. So far, he has released one album under the Covenant moniker: 1992’s Nature’s Divine Reflection, on which he plays all the keyboards and drums.
4. Covenant is a Christian rock band from Worcester, Massachusetts. www.covenantrock.net
