Covenant Album: “Europa”

I am not a fan at all of electronic/industrial/etc.. I like punk, some goth, and some metal. But this CD is phenomenal - it combines the best of industrial with the darkness of goth, intense lyrics, heavy music, and an all around feeling of depth. I suggest this CD to anyone who likes anything from Sisters of Mercy to Kmfdm and 20 other directions from there. How often do you find a CD where EVERY song is awesome!

Covenant has a distinctive sound that just seems to grow on you. Some of their songs are not all that complex, but the lyrics are what make them really stand out. For those unfamiliar with Covenant, their music is purely electronic with clear, undistorted vocals. Europa remains similar to their previous works, and that's a good thing. You will really have to listen to this CD in it's entirety to fully appreciate the sound...it's simple...yet phenominal. It truly is a diamond in the ground waiting to be found.

This is by far one of the best CD's in my collection FOR GOOD REASON!!!! It pulsates and grinds away like industrial was meant to but unlike a lot of stuff it's actually listenable. It's clean and structured, which makes it just amazing. If you love industrial but hate the tires-on-gravel, laryngitis vocals and distortion of most bands, this is for you. My favorite tracks include Leviathan, 2D, Wind of the North, Final Man, and Go Film, but all are great.

Hard, heavy and rythmic. The Swedish Modern-EBM-group does it again. From The Album Europa. Just BUY IT!

If EBM is good future-pop is best!
