Sarah followed up with this message:
"Seriously, hands down, the most incredible experience ever. So humble, so grateful and so ready for what's next. I think this morning, I'm on a major come down, as usual I wear my heart on my sleeve and will always say what I feel, and I have to say, not only do I love these guys so much, but the crew also. What a team. I met some old friends and met some new friends that I had only met online and worked with. It's been a long time since I've cried laughing, and I cried a lot.... laughing.. think maybe a bit of wee came out too.... Thank you."
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.
The Kovenant's live schedule is now as follows:
January / February
30-3 - 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise - Ocho Rios, Jamaica
May
1-3 - Karmøygeddon Metal Festival - Kopervik. Norway
