official Covenant Forum

I was there, last night. Had a great time! I have only heard the last three albums so some of the older stuff they played I didn't know very well.
Favorites were: Ritual Noise, Call the Ships to Port, Judge of My Domain, Dynamo Clock and Monochrome.

Had hoped they would play The Road, my absolute favorite off Modern Ruin, but they didn't :-( Same thing goes for Rising Sun, off Northern Light. But I guess those songs aren't the kind of thing people would want to hear live, but when listening at home with headphones when it's quiet and dark, they're fantastic imo.

The only thing that was really disappointing was that there was no merchandise!! What's up with that? I brought some extra cash because I'd hoped to buy a (tour)shirt, and the limited edition of Modern Ruin. But they were only selling merchandise of the supporting act at the merch stand

Was a long time ago I saw Covenant and they're really grown since then. That's a band totally in control of their own music. Pity for the bad sound in the opening numbers, but I really enjoyed the broad scope of the setlist, from slow introvert songs to stadiumfillers. Tears in Rain was new to me, but liked it immediatly. Shame for ommitting Bullet, but then again, you can't have it all.

Leaders in their genre IMHO. Hope to catch them again some time soon.
