Torn Between Two Worlds vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva, formerly the backing vocalist for Cradle Of Filth, recently checked in with the following update:

"Nagash, Steiner, Myself, Astennu and Hellhammer will be reuniting officially for The Kovenant. Sadly, Blackheart will be missing, hopefully short term; however he will be replaced by Knut from Arcturus for any shows. Luckily for The Kovenant, we have the amazing Photograve Management on our side. Older, uglier, but more professional than ever! Here is to whatever the future may hold for us."

Having confirmed shows at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting 2024, and the 2025 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise, the band has now been added to Norway's  Karmøygeddon Metal Festival 2025 line-up. Go to this location for more information.

The Kovenant's live schedule is now as follows:

December
13 / 14 - Eindhoven Metal Meeting - Eindhoven, Netherlands

January / February
30-3 - 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise -  Ocho Rios, Jamaica

May
1-3 - Karmøygeddon Metal Festival - Kopervik. Norway

The Kovenant 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 electronic band of the same name. The band's name change also marked a change in sound/style, as the band from there on began to focus more on an aggrotech / industrial metal sound heavily influenced by Europe's EBM scene. Despite their style change, The Kovenant did however later reissue their early albums under The Kovenant name.
