COVENANT - Final Man
Songs: 4  Time:  18:47
Covenant's latest release is a new single titled Final Man.  The disc contains 4 tracks, consisting of Final Man from the upcoming Europa full length, a club version, and two exclusive tracks.  Final Man picks up where their last album, Sequencer left off.  However, it takes a slower, more minimal approach.  The club version is basically just an extended version of its original.  Control has a more synth-pop feel to it but still has Covenant's signature complexity.  Sample Start has an almost hip hop flavor but uses the classic noisiness the band is known for.  This last track is probably the most notable track on the disc, and definitely is more representative of Covenant's style even though it lacks vocals.  If this single a sign of what is to come, be on the lookout for a very different covenant release in Europa.
