Covenant

Post by Godsdefeat »

I've been listening to Covenant more and more these days and the Covenant era to me is the best MA era. The music, the lyrics, the fruital Covenant tour and the extreme dark Morbid atmosphere I think is MA at his absolute best.

My fave MA period also... The FFF period somewhat resembles it a bit IMO.... hence those two are the most inspiring to me..

Covenant was the album that really got me into MA, much more than the previous albums. MA at it's finest with Dave as a frontman.His best vocal performance so far.

FFF was the best album with Steve and somehow similar to Covenant because of it's rawness, in your face brutality, brilliant solos(all by Trey), and only 3 members in the band.Steve's voice sounds great on that record.

Personally, I think the time of ALTARS/BLESSED was the best.



I mean, fucking look at this. Look what Trey is doing in the intro. This was the best era of the band, in my opinion.

You don't see Hamers that often anymore, they've become pretty rare.

The dean shape was originally a guitar shape and the body was reverse as opposed to the Demonator. They reversed the shape to make the back-end look more like a explorer type. Don't like the look of it but they play very well.



The Hamer in the picture was called the scepter.
