New sign of life from 'Covenant'

'Sounds Mirror' gives first impressions of the upcoming 'Covenant' album

covenant_-_sound_mirrors'Covenant' has become politically

Covenant's new single ‚Sound Mirrors' gives us a first impres­sion of their forth­com­ing album "The Blinding Dark". For the first time ever, the Swedes address dis­tinctly top­ic­al events in world polit­ics: the refugee crisis with its accom­pa­ny­ing hys­teria and the anxi­ety about the future of a European con­tin­ent that looks for­ward into uncertainty.

'Sound Mirrors' be explained

Sound Mirrors were acous­tic mir­rors that looked like giant stone ears, placed along the Englisch coast between 1916 and 1930 in order warn of approach­ing planes or war ships. Their ellipt­ic­al shape bundled acous­tic sig­nals, and they were con­sidered to be both tech­no­lo­gic­al and con­struc­tion­al mas­ter­pieces. Faster planes and espe­cially the inven­tion of radar made sound mir­rors obsol­ete later on, so today, they are merely stone wit­nesses of bygone times along the south­ern and north-east­ern coasts of England. The ref­er­ence tot he refugee crisis and creep­ing rad­ic­al­isa­tion of Europe becomes par­tic­u­larly obvi­ous when hear­ing Covenant's lyr­ics for the cor­res­pond­ing song.

Covenant promising a new club hit

Musically, the band does not miss out on any­thing, deliv­er­ing a club smash­er that harks back to single clas­sics such as ‚Stalker' or ‚Last Dance'. While unusu­al splashes of col­our enhance the over­all pic­ture, ‚Sound Mirrors' is bound to become an endur­ing ear­worm that will soon set dance­floors aflame.
