COVENANT1986-2026

We live in confusing times, in the dusk of mankind. We want to tell stories and sing about how that makes us feel. In a world that has stopped making sense, we need to learn how to see in the dark. Covenant is a triumphant embrace of the strength and resilience of the soul. It's the dystopian, unforgiving song of our dreams born in the shadow of the cold war. Our music is a monument of our failures and as beautiful as a collapsed star.

26t of April 1986, on the very eve of the Chernobyl disaster, Covenant was founded after having their senses blinded by Front 242 in Malmö at the legendary venue Stadt Hamburg.

The aggressive beats and uncompromising attitude mixed with the pop flavour of their new song Don’t Crash made a deep impression and only 5 months later Clas, Eskil and Joakim had their first show, with own songs, and the band have since performed in 42 countries over 6 continents and released over 120 songs. In 2026 the band would like to invite you and together reflect on the times and celebrate 40 years of “pop with an edge”! In a string of extended concerts, spanning two and a half hours, the band will perform songs from every album with setlists voted by the fans and you. We are honoured and grateful for every moment we shared, thank you for the music.

Founding members Joakim Montelius and Eskil Simonsson are currently working on a new album. Like a probing Nautilus, changing with change, moving within motion and steering straight through black waters, we will never rest, we will never abandon.

Welcome to the void.
