Il Est À Noter Que Covenant Restera Célèbre Pour Ses Faces B Toujours Très Créatives Bien Souvent Marquantes Que Les Singles Sinon Totalement Hors-Normes & Rebelles Que Beaucoup De Ces Nouveaux Groupes " Hype " De Manchester ! Le Premier Album Dreams Of A Cryotank Est Bien Entendu À Posséder Pour Tout Adepte Sérieux D'electro Suivi De La Séquelle Sequencer De L'essai Europa Du Très Retors United States Of Mind Pour Finir Avec Le Glacial Northern Light Et Enfin & Bien Sûr L'ironique Skyshaper... History In The Late 1970s And Early 1980s Electronic Music And Several Of Its Subgenres Became A Preferred Musical Style Among European Underground Culture. It Gained Favor Initially Within Major Cities And Eventually Trickled Into The Continent's More Socially Secluded Regions. This New Wave Of Music Was Discovered At Different Instances By A Group Of Young Friends Living Among The Shadows Of Helsingborg A Scenic Municipality In Southern Sweden. Eskil Simonsson Joakim Montelius And Clas Nachmanson Three Teenagers With Mutual Youthful Curiosities For Science Philosophy And Matters Of Existence Were Enthralled By The Unique Presentation And The Emotional Content Offered Through The Music Specifically By That Of Bands Such As Kraftwerk The Human League And By EBM Pioneers Front 242 And Nitzer Ebb. The Friends Carried This Fascination With Them To University Life In Lund A Municipality Lying Approximately 50 Kilometres 32 Miles Southeast Of Helsingborg. In Between Their Academic Endeavors And Discussions Of Worldly Affairs They Assembled A Small Recording Studio In Nachmanson's Bedroom And Began To Experiment With Their Own Musical Compositions. In 1989 The Name "Covenant" Was Selected For The Group—a Name Derived From The Unspoken Spiritual Bond The Trio Professes To Share. As Covenant The Three Produced Their First Publicly-Released Track "The Replicant" By Invitation Of Swedish Record Label Memento Materia. "The Replicant" Was Released On A Compilation Album In 1992 And The Track Thrilled Label Executives Prompting Them To Ask For A Full Album. In 1994 The Group Compiled Enough Songs To Release The Album Which Became Dreams Of A Cryotank. Dreams Was Well Received By Critics And Fans Alike And With Its Success The Boyhood Friends Decided To Take Their Musical Efforts More Seriously. They Upgraded And Added More Equipment Relocated Their Studio And Committed To Tour. In 1995 Covenant Performed At A Festival In Germany Upon The Request Of Off-Beat Records. The Band Impressed Off-Beat's Attending A&R Representative Who Signed Them To A Record Deal The Following Day. Excited By The Prospect Of Broader Exposure The Crew Eased Further Away From Their Educational Pursuits And Devoted Themselves To Completing A New Album 1996's Sequencer. With Sequencer The Band Sought To Improve Upon The Weaknesses They Found In Dreams By Combining Sequencing Diverse Melodies And Commanding Lyrics. It Became An Instant Classic Among Many Observers Some Of Whom Boldly Declared It "the Best Electro Album Of The Decade." 3 It Would Go On To Be Re-Released A Number Of Times Throughout The World And Remains A Club Favorite In Many Settings. Later In The Year San Francisco-Based Record Label 21st Circuitry Agreed To Distribute Covenant's Albums In The United States Expanding The Band's Reach In The Process. As Results The Group Created The Theremin EP In 1997 Specifically For An American Release And Started To Accept Tour Dates Throughout The US And Canada. The Trio's Third Full-Length Album Europa Debuted In 1998. Europa Carried Covenant's Aggressive Often Distorted Brand Of Music Into The Beat-Driven Realm Of Synth Pop Marking The Beginning Of A Gradual Evolution In The Band's Collective Sound. Also In 1998 They Sued The Norwegian Black Metal/Industrial Metal Band The Kovenant Then Known As Covenant For The Rights To The Name "Covenant" Arguing That They Had The Name First. The Norwegian Band Changed Their Name Relenting And Allowing Both Bands To Go On With As Few Problems As Necessary. Covenant Spent 1999 Touring Changing Record Labels And On The Preparation Of Another Album. Off-Beat Records Went Out Of Business And Dependent Records Was Created By Former Off Beat Employees. Together With A Few Selected Former Off-Beat Acts Covenant Joined Dependent. In Addition Covenant Was Signed With SubSpace Communications In Sweden Effectively Ending Their Tenure With Memento Materia. Meanwhile 21st Circuitry Records Ceased Operations Leading The Three To Find A New Home In America With Metropolis Records Metropolis Had Bought The Rights To The 21st Circuitry Back Catalogue . Shortly Thereafter The Band's First Three Albums And The Theremin EP Were Re-Issued In The US Under The Metropolis Label. United States Of Mind Was Released In 2000 And With It Covenant's Tendencies Strayed Further Into Synth Pop. A Stand-Alone Single Called Der Leiermann Sung To The Tune Of The Album Track Like Tears In Rain Was A Version Of The German Art Song Of The Same Name Sung Entirely In German Every Other Covenant Song Has English Lyrics . This Song Originally Was A Poem From Wilhelm Müller Which Has Been Set To Music By Franz Schubert As Part Of The Poem Cycle "Die Winterreise". A Live Album Synergy Was Released Later In The Year It Featured Tracks From The Band's First Four Albums Played In Concert. The Group Continued With 2002's Northern Light Which They Portrayed As Having A More Somber Colder Sound In Comparison To Their Earlier Offerings. In Another Transition Between Labels The European Release Of Northern Light Was Handled By Sony Music's Ka2 Division Rather Than Dependent Or Subspace. While They Continue To Produce Music Together Montelius And Simonsson Have Since Taken Up Residence In Separate Countries Montelius Resides In Barcelona Spain And Simonsson Lives In Berlin Germany. Nachmanson Remains In Helsingborg. Covenant Released Its Sixth Studio Album Skyshaper In March 2006 To An Overall Positive Reception. The Band Toured Europe Prior To The Album's Release And Now Plans To Tour The United States Beginning In September 2006. 4 In March 2007 Covenant Announced That Nachmanson Would Not Be Touring With The Band In 2007. His Replacement Will Be Daniel Myer Of Haujobb. In An Interview 5 With Side-Line Magazine Covenant's Joakim Montelius Says He Is Not Sure If Clas Will Still Continue With Covenant. In October 2007 Covenant Released The Road Movie "In Transit" On DVD. It Contains Material From The World Tour Undertaken In Support Of The Album "Skyshaper" And Documents The Band's Travels In Europe North America South America And Across Russia For A Period Of 18 Months.
