Covenant is an influential Swedish electronic music band formed in 1986 by Eskil Simonsson, Joakim Montelius, and Clas Nachmanson. With a foundation rooted in synthpop and electronic body music (EBM), Covenant has become a mainstay of the contemporary electro-industrial landscape. Renowned for their sophisticated and often philosophical lyrics, paired with pulsing beats and hauntingly melodic synthesizers, the band has carved out a distinct niche and garnered a dedicated global fan base.

The group's discography extends over three decades, and their evolution in sound is reflected in their more recent releases. Albums such as "The Blinding Dark" (2016) and "Leaving Babylon" (2013) showcase a willingness to explore darker themes and moods, signaling a band that does not shy away from complexity or depth. "Modern Ruin" and its deluxe version continued to solidify their status as a powerhouse in the genre, offering anthemic tracks with intricate arrangements. The "Fieldworks Exkursion" EP from 2019 exemplifies their continued innovation with a gritty take on the modular sounds of electronic music. With Covenant's reputation for captivating live performances and a consistently forward-thinking approach to their craft, the band remains a significant force in the world of electronic and industrial music.
