The Covenant and Modified Ghost present ‘Ghosts of the Covenant’ with Antediluvian, Reversed Ceremonial Bloodbath, Encoffinate, Liminal Shroud & Larval at the Rickshaw on October 8th!
Update from the team at Covenant Festival:
“After a little work and patience, we are pleased to be able to bring you GHOSTS OF THE COVENANT on Friday, October 8th at The Rickshaw Theatre. It is a great honour to be at the front of Canada’s relaunch of live music, and we know that you are all starving for an evening of death metal madness
While the event is no longer 2 days, we’re excited to bring you 7 bands on the same night, as opposed to the original plan of 5.
In the case that you purchased tickets for the originally planned 2 nights, or you were only interested in seeing Revenge, and would like a refund, please email us at covenantfestival@gmail.com and we would be happy to sort you out.
The ritual begins anew. Let’s make some history.”
Antediluvian
Relocated to Austria, Canadian act Antediluvian have a fairly extensive discography with a raft of splits and EPs, but previously only two other full lengths as they land a sonic scourge on the Earth with their third album. If you have witnessed the aural destruction of their previous atrocities then you know that Antediluvian are as intense and malevolent as it’s possible to get in the blackened death metal genre, their intrinsic ability to write utter nihilistic filth is comparable to acts like compatriots Revenge, Portal and a raft of other bands whose sole mission is corruption of your essence.
Reversed
Beneath the bounds of sanity & sanctity rises REVERSED. Howls into the void respond to the ancient echoes from a time when extreme metal was a formless mire of unhinged similarity. In death-like trance, all attempts are made to harness this undifferentiated prowess. Leather and lust, fury and filth, speed and savagery, esoteric hair & teeth: This is metal of DEATH!
Ceremonial Bloodbath
Expect a sound of utmost contamination with influences coming from all over the place. Ceremonial Bloodbath is comprised of members of bands such bands as Scum Division Cult, Nightfucker, Encoffinate, Radioactive Vomit, Grave Infestation, Mass Grave, Temple of Abandonment and Deathwinds.
Encoffinate
With members from Ceremonial Bloodbath, Grave Infestation and Temple of Abandonment (amongst others) Encoffinate band members are no newcomers to the thriving British Columbian Death Metal scene.
Liminal Shroud
On their debut full-length, Through the False Narrows, Liminal Shroud takes inspiration from the surging ocean and mist-strewn coast to explore themes of futility, passage, and individual and metaphysical transformation. With a three-piece format, Liminal Shroud’s sound is stripped-back yet immersive, with expansive guitars underpinned by a driving and dynamic rhythm section; kindling a form of black metal surging with atmosphere and anguish, melancholy and rage.
