For those of you who don't know about Norway's The Kovenant, it started way back as an atmospheric/symphonic BM band that later changed its name from Covenant to The Kovenant after a dispute with a pop band with the same name. The band's original album "In Times Before the Light" became at cult classic and a rarity. The album was re-released around 2001 but it was drowned in electronics, representing the band's change in direction.
Fortunately, the band's myspace has just anounced a re-release of the original recording with new artwork.
All my attempts to track down the original have failed, so I'm pumped to get my hands on this lost classic as soon as it comes out. Any Troll fans should take notice here.
