   About Covenant

It all begun in 1993, When Nagash and Blackheart started to put together low budget demos, which resulted in the first album "In times before the light" in 1995.The music was atmospheric Black Metal with lots of melodies. They got the reputation of being the most prominent act in the Norwegian metal scene. Unfortunately, at the time their record label did not see the greatness in their music. The album was not officially released until early 1997 on a small record company called Mordgrimm (in england). Nagash and Blackheart had greater visions for their music, they now recruited three new members to form alex band. Hellhammer (from Mayhem) on drums, Astennu (from Carpe Tenebrum and Dimmu Borgir) on 2nd Guitar and Sverd (from Arcturus) ..boards. In addition they also hired Sarah Jezebel Deva (from Therion and Cradle of Filth) on Starsong for the next album, the now classic album "Nexus Polaris" in 1998 (on Nuclear Blast) ,A masterpiece, a brilliant performance in musicianship. The album was filled with progressive dark pulsing atmospheric metal. As Blackheart described their music; "Progressive Space Metal", he couldn't be more right. This is the one you should buy. In addition, it?s got the most beautiful cover in the music history, by Andreas Marshall. Nexus Polaris became a hit, sold over 15000 copies only in the first week when it was released in February 1998. They followed up with a two week promotion tour, where they found themselves one of the biggest bands in the extreme metal scene. They also appeared on the Norwegian national TV with their six-episode tour documentary. They where now ready to rule the world. Unfortunately, Sverd had to part from the band, due to some personal problems and musical differences with the other guys in the band, at the time. They hired a keyboard player (a session musician) and followed up their success.
