THE KOVENANT with guests HYBRID NIGHTMARES, Australia, September 18 - 19, 2026

Performing ‘Nexus Polaris’ in full

The highly successful resurrection of THE KOVENANT sees them hurtling through Australia for the very first time with a special performance of their much revered and critically acclaimed album ‘Nexus Polaris’.

In 1998, Norway’s THE KOVENANT (known back then as Covenant) released ‘Nexus Polaris’, a landmark symphonic black metal album that defied genre conventions and successfully combined extreme metal elements with its cosmic themes, polished production, and melodic, neo-classical guitar work. Every song sounded like a new masterpiece, never treading over the same path all the while pushing a new threshold in every aspect. ‘Nexus Polaris’ is widely regarded as a groundbreaking release, one of the classic, essential symphonic black metal albums of all time, and these two exclusive Australian shows should not be missed by anyone!

Featuring past and present members of Mayhem, Arcturus, Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, this September, THE KOVENANT invite you on a trip through the cosmos.

Blending elements of black, death, and extreme metal, HYBRID NIGHTMARES craft a sound that is both punishing and expansive, rejecting convention in favour of unfiltered expression. HYBRID NIGHTMARES create music that empowers as much as it devastates, dragging listeners into the depths and daring them to find meaning in the void.
