RE: Covenant in Finland

Hello there!
Finally I had chance to see Covenant live! And what a beautiful night it was. I hope they
feld how missed and most welcome they were/are here in Finland!!

If someone knows what the setlist was, please tell me, I was rocking like a moose in front row
(old lady with white shirt and black tie :sch::lol: ) and just can`t remember!

What I do remember is that we got a treat, a new song! Sounded very good, can`t wait to hear more!

At one point Daniel was toying with his laptop making these motor sounds and Eskil said in perfect finnish " Danielilla on oma moottorisaha" (= Daniel has a chain saw) I wonder how they came up with that?! :tongue:

Oh, I so hope that they come back soon! Daniel with his drums and sharp suit , Joakim and his
beautiful eyes and Eskil, just one word: härlig!

Marja

(Sorry for my bad english!)

Thank you for your nice words. We had a blast in Helsinki. Very nice evening!

The chainsaw thing came up when Eskil googled useful phrases in Finnish and found this:

"Laita moottorisaha sivulle, en halua sinulle mitään pahaa!"

(it means something like: "put down the chainsaw, I mean you no harm")

Hilarious! :tongue:

Oh, and I asked the driver who picked me up at the airport if he had a chainsaw. He said: "I don't have one but my dad has 4 of them". I wonder, what do you do with 4 chainsaws? How many trees can you possibly cut down at any given moment? Maybe they cut down different kinds of trees? Or if you run out of gas you can keep cutting trees with another chainsaw? How can there be so many trees left in Finland when everybody has excessive amounts of cutting tools?

All those mysteries that will never be solved...

RE: Covenant in Finland

:tongue: :tongue:
You are so right, its quite hilarius! Even in my household there is one saw, electric, very handy on
short distances.. and for unplugged action I can borrow one with gasmotor from my dad :tongue:
So maybe its not bad idea after all to know few useful (and calming) phrases of chainsaws when visiting in Finland! No, just a joke..!

Men snälla du! Dare I ask something about that new song we heard the other night? Or am I
totally wrong and it was new only to me? ( I wasn`t that drunk, just nicely relaxed..

) Can you
tell anything about whats happening on music making area right now with Covenant? If not, its ok too. I can wait.
Patience is my middle name. Not! But one can alwys ask, and hope .

Now what was it, that killed the cat..curiosity..or was it chainsaw..?

Anyways, thank you for answering to me at all, I very much appreciate it!

RE: Covenant in Finland

The "new" song we played in Helsinki is called "Get On" and it has been performed a few times before, at least once...

We just spent a few days in the studio, mostly to talk about our demos and ideas and see how Daniel comes into the equation. It's not so easy for Daniel to enter a working relationship that has been going on for 15 years, especially not since he's used to be the only creative force in his own projects. He works very fast, we work extremely slow. He uses a laptop, we use a huge amount of different machines. He prefers certain software, we like others.

It may seem trivial, music is music, right? But with electronic music it's different. The sounds and the production techniques all influence the actual music a lot.

I can't say if "Get On" will survive the selection process or if the album will sound anything like it but work has begun in earnest now. We're just as excited as everybody else!

Oh, no problem! Just tell him to work on a remix while Eskil and you discuss the sound of a *pleng* for a day or two.

This way we will have a whole remix album coming out one month after the next studio album!

And remember, Daniel as a German is fine with imperatives!

Here's a nice selction for you guys: "Slow down!" - "Do what you're told!"- "Buy us some beer if you're bored!" - "We're still not sure about this *pleng* sound so produce a haujobb album or two until we finished the discussion!"

Sorry - I know, I'm such a meanie! :lol:

Or I could join the round and produce a Black Metal album with Daniel as a leisure activity for him - I was told I grunt like an army of Uruk-Hai after a bottle of Jägermeister.

RE: Covenant in Finland

@Niggels: That Jägermeister-stuff is pure bottled trouble, I say! :tongue:

@Joakim: Sounds like exciting times are ahead! It must be sometimes very hard to combine
different visions of strongwilled people in to one outcome, but I am sure that you can make it
work just fine being such long-term professionals and friends. :-]
So, I keep hanging around here for some news and updates and wish you all good times working. :perfekt:

And, again, thanks for reply Joakim, You are such a peach !

PS. I love your lyrics in 20hz, for some reason they take me back to Berlin every time I listen that song. :cool:
