Covenant는 Nagash와 Blackheart에 의해 결성된 프로젝트 밴드로 1994년 데모 앨범과 1997년 정규 데뷔작을 내놓았다. 이어 발표한 두 번째 앨범이 본작 "Nexus Polaris" 앨범으로, 1998년 한해 최고의 Symphonic Black Metal 앨범 중 하나로 기억된 작품이다. Mayhem의 Hellhammer, Arcturus의 Sverd 등 초호화 멤버들이 가세하여 완성한 본 앨범은 미디엄 템포의 곡들이 주를 이루고 있으며, 초기의 원시적이고 기계적인 블랙메탈 사운드와는 대비되는 짜임새 있는 구성과 적절한 멜로디 라인을 구사하고 있다. 이후에 The Kovenant로 개명하고 일렉트로닉의 느낌이 가미된 음악을 들려준다.

debutové album "In Times Before the Light" od nórskej úderky Covenant (neskôr si museli zmeniť názov kapely na The Kovenant, z dôvodu už existujúcej EMB kapely s rovnakým názvom) v dobe vydania nespôsobilo na metalovej scéne veľký rozruch (to sa stalo až pri druhom výbornom albume "Nexus Polaris"), avšak aj s odstupom množstva rokov je potrebné uviesť, že ...

S albumom "Nexus Polaris" posunuli svoju hudbu kvalitatívne o ďalší stupienok na vyšší level. Album je pestré s kvalitným čitateľným zvukom pre všetky nástroje, štýl: Experimentály Melodický Prog./Black Metal. Prvý posun nastal v pestrejšom speve, kde Nagash (Stian Arnesen) sa napriek revu a blackovom (akoby havraniom/hovorenom) growlingu snaží spievať, p... Read More
