# The Kovenant

**The Kovenant** is a industrial band, from Norway, active 1993 to present.

The Kovenant is a Norwegian industrial metal band from Hamar. The band originally formed as a symphonic black metal act known as Covenant in 1993, but in 1999 were forced to change their name to The Kovenant due to a dispute with a Swedish band of the same name. The name change also marked a change in sound/style as well, as the band from there on began to focus more on a cyber/industrial metal sound heavily influenced by Europe's EBM scene. Despite their style change, The Kovenant did later reissue their early albums under The Kovenant name.
