A Swedish Future Pop band. Formed in 1994 by Eskil Simonsson, Clas Nachmanson, and Joakim Montelius. Oddly enough, Eskil is the singer but does most of the programming on albums, while Joakim plays keyboards at their shows, but wrote most of the lyrics.
Covenant rapidly became popular, with danceable singles like Theremin, Stalker, and Tension. Their sound started as slightly generic hard EBM, and has evolved to a more poppy sound, which has alienated many fans, but made just as many. They are one of the few bands to claim the Future Pop label, although not the only to be given it.
Covenant's official web site is http://www.covenant.se, but the fan site Plastiq Flowers (http://www.plastiq-flowers.de) is much more comprehensive.
There used to be a metal band called Covenant, but they changed their name to The Kovenant.
