Covenant
Profile: 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. Sounds Like: * Eskil Simonsson – lead vocals, lead composition, engineering, lyrics, production, synths* Joakim Montelius – lead lyrics, composition, production, synths, additional vocals * Daniel Myer – engineering, production, synths, additional vocals (only live) * Clas Nachmanson – engineering, production, synths, additional vocals (will not tour with the band in 2007) Influences: Homepage: http://www.covenant.se/ Link 2: http://www.myspace.com/covenant
