I can't believe the band was wearing a full suit in the heat. Eskil and his band are such competent, skilled musicians that their sound is notable no matter what they wear. It is a good thing he eventually took the jacket off, I was overheating just looking at them. Eskil has definitely got the beat in him and he rules live. They played the new material which I really enjoyed.
Covenant has tons of energy.
Eskil was the only band member who was cool enough to praise Skinny Puppy and was thankful to get to play the same night as them. The last time he said he saw Skinny Puppy was nineteen eighty eight. He was really looking forward to the big event. The music is very upbeat and lively. Seeing Covenant perform live revived their sound for me.
