The Kovenant is a Norwegian band which has evolved from black metal to an industrial metal sound on more recent albums. The band was originally known as Covenant, but due to a dispute with a Swedish electro band that shared the same name (see Covenant), it was later changed to The Kovenant. Biography The Kovenant (then known as Covenant) was formed in 1993 by two black metal artists known as Nagash and Blackheart. They both met when Blackheart decided to help Nagash with his one-man project Troll. No one seemed to pay attention to them after releasing a demo titled From the Storm of Shadows, but finally a record label, Mordgrimm, took notice of them and released their first album In Times Before the Light in 1997. This album was recorded two years prior in 1995 and established them a fan base in Norway. It sounds a little like Dimmu Borgir's first opus For All Tid. Indeed, Nagash is a long time friend to Dimmu's
