The Kovenant - Star By Star Live

[369indigo]

fereakin love that song...

[mostiften]

So is it a transvestite singer or is ther a girl singer in the other vid?

[filth69ify1]

Nice.

[LordEmpirus]

Whoever invented awesome music should get a medal!

[fede2012metal]

Animatronic fue un gran album, pero SETI es el mejor de todos: los fondos electronicos me encantan y Lex Icon comenzó a cantar claramente... odio las voces guturales de los otros albunes, no se entiende una mierda lo que dicen.

[pukepal]

He had a cold during this show so it's not his fault for the vocals. I think he still did great. Althought I wish he played songs from animatronic

[dariusflyboy666]

his vocals sound a lot more funny live and that is good.in their albums the vocals are a bit spooky or boring

[GoreSmasher]

Vocals aren't as good live.

[poprocker2008]

There are too little such Kovenant Live videos here. Anyone has their Live in Waldrock 2000 videos or live videos of their songs from their Animatronic album and can put them up here?

[JonathanPerlG]

@jeysenok jejeje, era un comentario sarcástico... ni el In Times Before the Light es black metal (eso de sinfónico... dejémoslo a los defensores de Dino Burger). Nagash y el otro muchacho hacen black en Troll... aun así The Kovenant es grande :P

[lucikam66]

he's a great singer but why the hell is he fat like a pig??? why doesn't he do some cardiovascular excercises? a singer has to look fit, it's not enough to sing good!

[algaionofficial]

@lucikam66 - This most retarded and irrelevant statement proves that you obviously are a victim of the MTV generation. Appearence is nothing. Talent is everything.

[Lord6of9Uk]

greatest band on fucking Planet Earth!!! and beyond..

[beca0601]

I actually really like that it doesnt sound just like it does on the album, it makes the live show a lot more of an experience. With that said, they should have given him a little reverb in his mic though

[thisizmesayinghi]

I Just Watch Videos Of Them Live Cause I Like The Way The Guitarists Move xD

But I Love This Song Aswell Lol

[guitarnublet]

I love this song, but this is terrible :/

[ValkuHasCookies]

He sounds alot more menacing on the CDs, thats for damn sure.

[mksubzero349]

I think The Kovenant is one of the bests ;)

[MsJonas222]

nice :)

[JoeyIsWat]

Star by star... corrupting all of humanity.

[deysylokis]

que frocha, estos Hps se mamaron de hacer buena musica, pasa de ser un black metal re aspero y bien hecho a hacer un peye de musica parecido a linkin park

[MPSecare]

this.... guy ... was in dimmu borgir? this is fucking worse than mortiis. what the fuck

[Serapherus]

todos los que no aprecian esta banda SON UNA VERDAERA MIERDA. CHINGADAMADRE SON HUMANOS Y TIENEN EL DERECHO DE NO SER PERFECTOS.

[jeysenok]

@Serapherus nel esta banda es una porqueria junto con sus fans, dejaron el verdadero black metal para refujiarse en esta mierda

[JonathanPerlG]

@jeysenok disculpa, pero cuándo Covenant (o The Kovenant) fueron black metal?...

[jeysenok]

@JonathanPerlG .. antes se llamavan covenant y en el 96 sacaron el album de in times berore the light y despues de ese el de nexus polaris y en esos dos tocaban black metal sinfonico que esta bien perro pero despues se cambiaron el nombre a the kovenant y empesaron a tocar mas electronicon y este es el resultado una porqueria que averguenza al black metal

[OlleandOlofmusic]

You fucktards who say that he cant sing the low voice style like he did on the cd, thats because hes voice was mixed with a computer on the cd.... KOVENANT OWNS YOUR FAT LITTLE ASSES

[aplas]

Ya know you can mix the voice in live sessions too?

[Ulvmork]

Es una verdadera mierda en lo que se an transformado algunas bandas, que pena ver esta mierda, me quedo con lo primero "COVENANT" in times before the light, nexus polaris.

FUCKING CRAP!!!

[jeysenok]

@Ulvmork yeah men tu si sabes..........

[toteu000]

this is crap metal..."animatronic" is their only good album on this new orientation...

the covenant was brighter, truly epic...that was pure music (non comercial)

[Shawaeon]

Nexus Polaris is one of my top5 best black metal albums up there with De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and others, but I can't call this crap. Animatronic was great and so was their retake on In Times Before The Light. But yeah this isn't the best thing they've done

[Lord6of9Uk]

the keyboards are excellent in this performance... shame the guitars and vox weren't up to scratch.

btw, i do love TheKovenant and i want their babies =P

[loveyobbo]

I like Kovenant

by the way, I love Pain too

they are so good, love them

[Lestat666IS]

Lex looks like Chucky, when gets angry

lol

[rikiki123456789]

Now you figure it out , not only when he gets angry...

[Geetarfrik]

So much alike are WEEAAHHH!

[d15a5ter]

i swear i could sing it better, except for the gurgling part:D

[Serapherus]

Nagash/Lex Icon the vocal was reportedly sick but didn't want to let down his fans, btw. What a guy.

[rammstein2001]

don`t like the vocals in this live performance. but i love The Kovenant.

[MarkitanTKY]

for some reason this reminds me of the 90's....

^_^

[Sorsakoski]

@MarkitanTKY is it a bad thing? love the song :P

[MarkitanTKY]

I never said it was bad, I loved the 90's

Kovenant ,\,,/

[d15a5ter]

Oh My God! :S

I didn't think they play like this on the stage...

The vocals are awful... where is this nice low voice?

I love this song but not this way.

[StormBlast839]

i agree, i like this band, but this sucks, he cant hit notes for shit live. this is typical nowadays, its all doctored and pitch corrected in studio and, people seem to forget how to play...

[claudissima71]

BRAVISSIMI GLI ADORO!

[LadySerpentra]

I like The Kovenant but they are not so much when they are preforming live....

[VertigoVenus]

Comment to the person asking where the Bass guitar....it is a backing track system, I heard that during a show way back one of the Pyro techs when nuts and LEX burned his back and arm causing nerve damage enabling him to play

[Lord6of9Uk]

Nagash (no longer Lex Icon) HAS lost weight now..and looks like wen he was back in the 90's

[WinterTroll]

Haha looks like Lex has eaten one burger too many

[al85exunderowonedge]

GREAT..

[oldmananzai]

there should be a Haruhi video with this song!! Haruhi should be playing this song!!!

[StrikerFTW]

bass is played via the synth. it's a bass sampler

[DougMovementDisyple]

who is playing bass?

[Phyle9]

♥♥♥♥♥

[darksorcerermusic]

very good... stian looks like he has put on a few pounds...but hey...he looks healthy..... good performence....

[veles666]

he lost a ton of weight...so he's not fat anymore lol

[reigoribadeo]

Nexus Polaris...no digo más.

[murog232]

lex is too chunky here, , , i like him more when his thinner, , ,

btw, , ,good performance!

[hionmeth]

Lex/Stian. Your nothing but one of the smartest, most creative musicians in Norway. Saying that "grown up" with the Bergen scene. Im just proud of what you do. doesnt matter genre. Its quality anyway. Keep it up.

[hionmeth]

---was supposed to be a private reply to CuXxX87mt

[diabolicalheaven]

did he pull the microphone cable out? haha

[VikingWarriorof69]

i fucken lOve all of 'Kovenant's stuff \m/

[wagfinpis]

the message there songs are dull and irresponsible.

exopolitics is very real. there are evil world agencies run by men that can make the subject matter of this music seem real. choose peace now in every way, you can make it real.

[CuXxX87mt]

Damn, you couldent wrote it better that that.

Your explanation could probably explain why I got a Tattoo saying " Love, Life and Liberty, Hate, Death and Captivity.

Rock on !!

[VortFTW]

To CuXxX87mt:

Dude, that must be one sick tattoo. Totally respected. :D

[hilfeare]

the chorus in this live version is so awesome

[hionmeth]

Im just fucking proud of this enourmous NORWEGIAN band. Genious. Black metals Mozarts, or that is Lex is. Hails . Im damn proud.

[Kingman1989]

I never heard of these guys until now and they sound f___ing awesome. They have such a great sound.

[hionmeth]

Ya. Havent even then heard their best album Nexus Polaris. Which is nothing but a legend in underground spheres. But compared to many old fans, I also like the "new kovenant"

[condensador]

Muy bueno ., aunque el audio deja muxo q desear., y no deja apreciar mucho la muy buena vocalizacion en eesta presentacion.,pero esta bueno

[FroXenn]

si... la musica esta muy bien pero la vocalizacion es terible aqui lol

[disgoremain]

muy gueno el tema se pasaron los gorra

[uglyguido]

is this after animatronic?

[Fraeg]

yeah i think this is off S.E.T.I. but not too sure.. haven't really followed them after animatronic

[OppiToR]

you should... SETI is almost as good as animatronic!;)

[thefinali]

Wow, this is an awesome performance.

Lex's vocals are amazing!

[ramirezhate]

i love the kovenant...

thanks for sharing this one

[schlager1488]

He has nardly fucking growls. He should stick to it and they'd be more bad ass!

[bishoppreachingfire]

i agree but his new style is very catchy, best vocals he did in my opinion are on animatronic :D Kovenant rule!

\m/

[uglyguido]

then he would be giving you what you want and that would defy true artistic integrity.

[indreamweaver]

I'm amazed at how good their singer sounds live.

[yeotao]

cool bass line

[soulflypc]

+10 just for this song ..i like JUST this song ok? mmmmm best group : amon amarth ..lamb of god... kalmah ...psycoptic..................­.

[Fenrisvarg]

The keyboardist and the guitar player come from Apoptygma Berzerk??

[Larsandersgl]

that's right. He also was in the scandinavian version of temptation island. lol

[Kayin777]

half-playback?

[Swmhunter]

One of their slower songs, I didn't like this song much at first, but smoke a few bowls and listen to it, much better ^^

[Larsandersgl]

gay music

[archonmt]

gay is you and your classmates who like to listen slipknot.this is is norwian industrial asshole

[CKY1250]

fuck yeah

Dette er beste

[ForcedContortion]

wicked gay.

[Everdying21]

gay. just gay.

[CKY1250]

we know you are go cry somewhere else

[frane123]

no bass?

lol

[D4NG3R0UZ]

He is best at the growling vocals

[SkeletonSoul]

what do you think??? well I think this band has reached a particular style different to all, but I´m open for comments...

[Ratteg]

I love this band now. The beginning was...well not for me, but this new industrial influenced style is awesome! Now they truly have originality. Seriously underrated band.

[thechevron]

they aren't even metal anymore, these guys went down a big steep slippery hill

[CurnFace]

Are they Norwegan?! :D:D:D

[Daemonicia]

hell yes!!!

[tenebrae654789]

live it sounds even nicer than in the clip

truly remarkable .

[mot5]

During the whole performance, one can see that Lex/Nagash would like to sing growling

[MaYHeM1987666]

thats cuz he was a black metal vocalist in old 'kovenant and troll (his 2 bands!)

[stevenrozzano]

the thing that makes me mad is that in canada BC i can find anything for these guys. There so awsome but yet no one really knows of em

[Metzgerei]

im in canada bc and they are my fav band ;)

[EvilAndHate]

Psy plays untight as hell.

Stop headbanging and concentrate on playing instead. Otherwise the song is goos, specially Nagash growl Vocals

[VaderJ]

mm.. i like this song.. but this version .. i dont know.. dont sound very good.. for my taste of course..

[BHoSV]

you're somewhat right, his live vocals dissapoint a bit, like he's not that low in bass as he sounds in cd. I did all my best too get that low bass sound he has, and than he even isn't himself.

[Corristo4]

This is awesome song and performance.

But anyway... I loved Nexus and Times much more :P and Animatronic too =)

[pitriplex]

NAAAAGGAASHH!!

[Mourning666]

wow he got big. Campare how he is here from the 1999 look!

[MaYHeM1987666]

there's no better fucking band then the one u see before you \m/

[153019409]

muy buen video de una banda excelente

[FreeRazorBlades4Emos]

These guys kick ass I bought animatronic when they first released it.

[siliconavatar0]

jeez I don't see what's so wrong with this that some of you guys keep bitching about. Live mixing is a bitch -- I've done a bit of it myself, so of course it's going to sound a bit off in some parts.

It's a really solid performance from a great band.

[luxul777]

the keyboardist looks like he's just been smoking:)both guitarists suxz.seems like they forgot how to play and what the rithm is;drumer is ok;so,nobody would talk about shitty vocals if sound would be much better and other band memmbers do their parts properly:)

[jonathan668]

where's the bass player?

[waynegacy666]

The bass is played with a sequencer controlled by the Keyboardist... You can hear the sampled sound of it

[Dralmikins]

live sucks sooo bad

[stenkastaren]

yea, and btw...it reminds me of my first ejaculation *cries*... it was so painful and bloody, and it splattered all over the room, my kids got terrified and made a pile of shit in the middle of the room cuz they got scared.... lalalalallalala *cries*

[ragewolf]

I've seen them live before and he didn't sound that bad, not sure whats up his voice, at least he can still growl

[misterxKoRnPT]

Like Mr Lordi screaming....at 03:03 like Shagrath.....what u say people?

[NiggerAnus]

You all keep talking about the vocals being shit, but what's more fucking horrible is the unnecessary 2nd guitarist and the HORRIBLE FUCKING SHIT TONE coming out of their AMPS. They're like fucking 12 year old metalz0rs wanna be shredders who can't dial in worth a shit, but the IRONY you see MARSHALL cabs in the back....

[waynegacy666]

The tone used depends on the kind of music... Industrial requires a fake guitar sound, sounding digital and not a clear sound

[CKY1250]

well most true industrial these guys kinda sway in genres if you listen to mirrors paradise thats a true guitar sound very heavy and black but some of there other songs yeah it sounds digital

[NiggaNiggo]

he really fucked up the vocals :P

[Hematemesis]

I like the live vocals, Im a great fan of this ndustrial-rock project born in the shes of the black metal band Covenant

[hilfeare]

i like the live vocals...

[Farmacia200707]

Why the singer is singing out of the tune? This music on the Studio kick ass, but live the vocals are fucked!

[Mourning666]

Awsome video. Lex has put a lot of pounds since Dimmu.

[MaYHeM1987666]

me luvs kovenant new and old, preferably black metal covenant!

[Sexorzismus]

ich mag deathstars lieber^^

[markhoppusrules]

fags these guys suck their posers what kinda fags use keyboards in metal these guys are gayer then cradle of crap fuck poser metal bands up with blink and simple plan

[februus]

what kind of fags use keyboards in metal? Black Sabbath, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, UFO and Burzum to name a few... think before you type

[markhoppusrules]

well there u go all those band u named suck balls and are talentless posers fuck metal emo and punk is way better

[BlizzardOfSteel]

Ahh for a guy that declares a 4 chord pop self obsessed egoistic guitarist for a name has surely the best understanding in what talent is. From the looks of your videos and music taste you are nothing but a pretentious teenager. As for the bands feruus stated great choices, what about Arcturus, Celtic Frost or even Ulver's Avant-Garde work? But I am pretty sure you have no recognition as to who they are and what they stand for.

[februus]

yeah.. i was even going to dignify the "talentless posers" directed at metal musicians when it's much more aptly aimed at emo!

[BlizzardOfSteel]

From your answers and retarded looks of your spit able human appearance I wont question your ill-down syndrome-queer statements.

[BlizzardOfSteel]

Last statement wasn't regarded to you, to that emo queer. >_<

[BlizzardOfSteel]

But listen if you like bands that sing about getting dumped and all your teenager bullshit. Needless to say prance around wearing nothing remotely for slapstick humor, then you sir are the winner. Grow some fucking balls.

[yeotao]

wat kinda fags and poser dont have the guts to use keyboards in metal...? prob those who know nuts about keyboards and are afraid of keyboardists

[Grakbonedust]

I will kill you. You suck dick for quarters. Everyone you know that has died is getting ass fucked in hell by Satan. YOU WILL DIE! Watch your back, because i am coming to kill you, I know where you live, and you BETTER be scared.

You aren't safe anywhere you go, so do yourself a favor and kill yourself before I find you.

[BlizzardOfSteel]

He is emo his boyfriend will eventually dump him because he would later find a fag with a bigger penis then him, then he will be tempted to slit himself because of his horrible life and his amazing alteration of the future. Completely he kills himself and we continue being metal.

[babbancs]

lexicon :):):)

[RaeMac18]

LOVEEE ITTT

[DaniFilthsCat]

I don't really like this..

Nagash is much better in Troll as Kath666 says..

Drep De Kristne :D

[shrapnel6666]

Ok lex really does do his vox up with effects in the recordings and by the way the person who said they had a goth image why don't you actually go look up pics of goths completley different man

[NiggaNiggo]

Is it possible that the guys of apoptygma berzerk brought more electro elements with them??

[Kath666]

Nagash is MUCH better in Troll.

Love the "Drep De Kristne" album!

[FILTHofUK666]

keyboards and synths for 'star by star' are better live like here!

[Timhimself]

WOW these guys suck, lol this is what happends when shitty bands get to use awsome recording studios, but i mean if they lost the whole goth image, the wouldent be half bad in todays music, o the bass player is pretty funkey i like!

[i4mat]

His voice isn't the same as in the version from CD, but it's awesome nevertheless.

[CuXxX87mt]

wow did the singer had a cut throat when he was singing O_o vocals sux badly and no bass around.. but they are The Kovenant so I like nevertheless

[Fraktured]

shame they sound shit here....

but its Kovenant and I love it :D

[Skkai669]

wow, they sound like shit here :(

[DarkAbruptum666]

the first two albums is great if you like black metal. the third is in no way black metal even though is sounds great but the latest album is really boring.

[scytheme]

yeah i luv this band , their CD´s are no match to live performance but you can hear it though, lyrics are nice and the instruments, but the vocalists really suxx ass...T_T

quite a pitty ,but only when he uses the shoutvoice he is decent, his normal clean singing voice sounds bellow average

[megatron82]

yeah its nagash, they were actually melodic black, well there 1st album anyways, was quite good, SETI was an absolute shit album though, aria sounds a little better so far

[Dumpydarkshot]

ok ummm, one thing u guys havent noticed, WHERE THE F**K IS THE BASS, i mean isnt lex supposed to play it, and wow he really let him self go i mean didnt he used to be skinny? but i got to say i love this band and their music \,,/(>_<)\,,/ <---- rock on you mothers

[necronX666]

Is this fatfuck vocalist former Dimmu Borgir´s Nagash?

The band looks like a piece of shit. I imagined them to be a lot more handsome. The look like punks who´re used to sleep under the bridge

[anophi]

bad singer O_o

[spikedheart1313]

\m/ ARIA GALACTICA \m/

[Sturmfallos]

they were better in Ilosaarirock '97 ;(

[goira]

like this band, sounds like shit, no offence, wtf happpen?

[TwatNoxeed]

i cant believe... does Lex really sings this awful way in live performances? ITS TERRIBLE.

[imaria]

good video, like the one who upload it, the wait for aria galactica is killing me

[panzerschreckk]

Not bad..i agree his vocals sound terrible, but it's still a live kovenant video =D

[JerichBlakk]

this would be better if the UV was in Tune!!!!!!! man his voice is terrible without compressors and delay!!!

[Legacyof]

The video was from a tv show, nice live footage.

[cumfunnel]

yea whats up with the actual video.did they get the camera at walmart and play it on their roof?

[Barrigard]

Ageed. I also like the different tone on the keyboard. Thats a nice subtle change.

[spacetherapysession]

At least it's better than the video. :)
