The Kovenant is a Norwegian band which has evolved from black metal to space metal and cyber metal over the years. Originally the band was called Covenant, but due to a dispute with the Swedish electro band with the same name (see Covenant (band)), it was later changed to The Kovenant.

The Kovenant (by then known as Covenant) was formed in 1993 by two black metal artists known as Nagash and Blackheart; they both met when Blackheart decided to help Nagash with his one-man band, Troll. After releasing a demo titled From the Storm of Shadows no one seemed to pay attention to them, but finally a record label, Mordgrimm, took notice of them and released their first album, In Times Before the Light in 1997. The album was created when they were both at a young age and they established a fan base in Norway.
