THE KOVENANT at Max Watt's Melbourne

SOUNDWORKS DIRECT PRESENTS THE KOVENANT Australia September18th–19th, 2026 Performing ‘Nexus Polaris’ in full The highly successful resurrection of THE KOVENANT sees them hurtling through Australia for the very first time with a special performance oft heir much revered and critically acclaimed album ‘Nexus Polaris’. In 1998, Norway’s THE KOVENANT (known back then as Covenant) released ‘Nexus Polaris’, a landmark symphonic black metal album that defied genre conventions and successfully combined extreme metal elements with its cosmic themes, polished production, and melodic, neo-classical guitar work. Every song sounded like a new masterpiece, never treading over the same path all the while pushing a new threshold in every aspect. ‘Nexus Polaris’ is widely regarded as a ground breaking release, one of the classic, essential symphonic black metal albums of all time, and these two exclusive Australian shows should not be missed by anyone! Featuring past and present members of Mayhem, Arcturus, Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, this September, THE KOVENANT invite you on a trip through the cosmos.
