  Covenant (band)
Covenant is a band from Sweden that has created electronic body music ("EBM"), futurepop, and synth pop since 1986.
In 1989, the name "Covenant" was selected for the group—a name derived from the unspoken, spiritual bond the trio professes to share.
Covenant spent 1999 touring, changing record labels, and on the preparation of another album.

 Lubicon Lake Band v. Canada, Communication No. 167/1984 (26 March 1990), U.N. Doc. Supp. No. 40 (A/45/40) at 1 (1990).
The Band's application for leave to appeal the dismissal of the interim injunction to the Supreme Court of Canada was refused on 14 March 1985.
The Band's attorney is continuing to pursue the claims through the courts despite the fact that the Band is unable to provide financial support for the effort and that there is no possible hope of resolution for the next several years.
It claims that since it was never informed of the articles of the Covenant and the evidence in respect of which the communication was declared admissible, the principles of procedural fairness have not been respected, and that the federal Government remains prejudiced in its ability to respond to the Band's claim.

With their beginnings in the mid eighties, Covenant hail from the south of Sweden in a town called Helsingborg.

Even during an era when numerous bands, bands like Sepultura and Slayer, cropped up, Morbid Angel still found a way to be one of the most important and influential death/extreme metal outfits of all time.
Bands like Deicide and Immortal have cited them as an influence, because, especially early in their career (when David Vincent was still apart of the group), they turned out one solid release after another.
All in all, "Covenant" is definitely one of the biggest gems in Morbid Angel's catalogue, and it's one of the finest and most powerful death metal albums of the 1990's.

 BNR Metal Pages -- The Kovenant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
As Covenant, this band released two albums, with the first (In Times Before The Night) a rather typical fl metal affair, and the latter (Nexus Polaris) widely regarded as a classic in the fl metal field, though by this time the band was broadening its style and was already uncomfortable being labelled as fl metal.
Comparisons to bands such as Marilyn Manson and Rammstein have been made (neither of which are completely valid, though one can find some traces of both on Animatronic) -- though the new album is somewhat more accessible than its predecessor, the shift isn't quite as drastic as others have claimed.
Finally, 2003 saw the release of their proper followup to Animatronic, in the form of S.E.T.I. Their progression away from fl metal is now complete, as the band is now firmly in the techno/electronic metal arena, somewhat like a cross between the recent albums of Atrocity and Theatre Of Tragedy.

 U.F.O.: Covenant - PopMatters Music Review
With the addition of keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond, the band's success continued with Lights Out (1977) and Obsession (1978) which included the hits, "Too Hot to Handle," "Lights Out" and "Only You Can Rock Me." However, after the release of their live album, Strangers in the Night (1979), Schenker abruptly left the band.
Covenant is a two-disc set with disc one consisting of 11 new songs from Schenker, Mogg, Way and drummer Ansley Dunbar (Frank Zappa, Journey).
But more importantly, Covenant transports the listener back to a time when rock was pure; before the genre was bastardized by the purveyors of thrash, goth, death, grunge and of course, rock 'n' rap.
