Before the new Fieldworks tour kicks off with 10 dates in Germany, we announce the release of a 5 track EP called "Fieldworks: Exkursion EP”. It's the first release of an upcoming cycle of records attributed to the theme "Fieldworks”. Containing one song written by each member of the band it spans the tension, dance and artistic leap of faith that Covenant has come to stand for. It also includes a strong collaboration with French electro-industrial newcomer Grabyourface.

Tracklist:

1 Pantheon

2 All That Is Solid Melts Into Air

3 False Gods ft Grabyourface

4 Popol Vuh

5 Das Nibelungenlied (Erstes Abenteuer)

The songs are based on field recordings of great and small things from our travels across six continents, mixed with the everyday noise of living. It’s an angry reflection of the interesting times we live in and we use field recordings as a medium and vessel to challenge our perception of media, manipulation and agendas kept hidden from us. The “Fieldworks: Exkursion EP” also revolves around spirituality, taking cues from old texts such as the Mayan creation myth Popol Vuh, ancient temples like the Pantheon in Rome and lingers on the beauty that is life itself.

What do we believe in? What is going on that we cannot hear but feel everyday? Join us and discover the world through its sounds (and silence) and rise to the challenge of our time.

Any remaining records will be sold in Dependent Record’s webshop after the tour.
