Hamar, Norway (1992 – present)

The Kovenant is a Norwegian band formed in 1992 which has evolved from symphonic black metal to industrial/electronic metal on more recent albums, shaping the style that Lex Icon (aka Nagash ex-Dimmu Borgir) and Psy Coma (in those days known as Blackheart) coined after the release of Nexus Polaris: Progressive Space Metal. Originally the band was called Covenant, but due to a dispute with the Swedish Futurepop/Industrial band with the same name, it was later changed to The Kovenant.

The Kovenant (at the time known as Covenant) was formed in Hamar, Norway in 1992, by two black metal artists known as Nagash and Blackheart;. After releasing a demo titled From the Storm of Shadows, and gaining some underground recognition, Not long after the band got several offers for record contracts. The original In Times Before the Light was released on Mordgrimm (a totally unknonw and now defunct black metal label based in the UK)In Times Before the Light in 1996. The album was created when they were both at a young age and they established a fan base in Norway.

At 1998 the band released their second album through Nuclear Blast, the album was titled Nexus Polaris. It marked a significant point in their sound’s formation, the album featured less of the grim guitars, and had much more keyboards work than before. The album featured Nagash, Blackheart, Astennu (on the Guitars, who later joined Dimmu Borgir), Sverd (of Arcturus on the keyboards) and Hellhammer (of Mayhem, Arcturus and Dimmu Borgir) and Sarah Jezebel Deva on the backing vocals (Cradle Of Filth).
