With the new EP 'The Last Dance' (Dependent / Alive), the electro heads of Covenant are promising big for June. After the band already released snippets of the title track on Facebook, now the EP follows with four new songs and two remixes. According to the band, you'll hear “majestic synths, quirky noises, unexpected harmonies, scary singing machines, fog horns, massive beats and of course Eskil’s incomparable vocals”. For Autumn, COVENANT - now a 100% Swedish band again - announced the new long-player 'Leaving Babylon' as well as a big tour through Europe. And here's the band's statement:
"An overwhelmingly intense week in the studio has passed. In glorious pain and love not given lightly, metaphorically speaking, the masters for the first release of the “Leaving Babylon” epic just arrived. I’m right now enjoying the honour of being the first person on the planet to hear the “Last Dance EP” in its entirety. Sometimes it’s pretty kool to be a member of Covenant…. by the way: now a 100 % swedish band again.
It’s a 6-track EP with 4 songs and 2 remixes on it. One track written by each of us, including our new live member Andreas Catjar, so it’s a rather complex beast, this one. Majestic synths, quirky noises, unexpected harmonies, scary singing machines, fog horns, massive beats and of course Eskil’s incomparable vocals. I for one really look forward to see where this road is going to take us.
The exact release date is still in the shadows but we aim for June. Do keep tuned to keep track of that. We hope you’ll like it. Or find it interesting enough to react to it.
Peace, love and robot laws unto you all.
