Covenant (The Kovenant) - Receiving "Norwegian Grammy award" in 1999 (Pro-shot broadcast)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2017
- This is a clip from the "Norwegian Grammy equivalent", called "Spellemannsprisen", in 1999.
Covenant won in the category of "Best Hard rock album", for the album "Nexus Polaris".
The other nominees were Dimmu Borgir and Mundanus Imperium.
They accepted the award right after Dimmu Borgir had played "Grotesquery Conceiled" live at the same event. That's why Astennu is dressed the way he is when he accepts the award.
The award was presented to Covenant by Diesel Dahl, the drummer of the classic Norwegian metal band TNT.
I remember feeling a bit embarrassed (on behalf of the band) when this award was accepted by Covenant, because of the behavior of Lex Icon. Chewing gum and making silly remarks...
But you would have to understand Norwegian to see what I mean.
This clip is taken from one of my old VHS cassettes. (BASF stereo recording.)
This show originally aired on Norwegian national TV.

Nexus Polaris is a Masterpiece
A great album, for sure.
@Gerardo Romeo Definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)
@Gerardo Romeo yup, I have been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)
The best album
Bu albümü 99 yılinda dinleyince , heavy metal daha hafif gelmişti bana, değil aslında ama bu albüm benim dinlediğim ilk farklı tarz,
Nagash and Astennu were at Dimmu Borgir and Covenant at the same time.
Man, i doubt there will be a decade so amazing to black metal as the 90's was...
Edit: oh, and Hellhammer was at Arcturus and Covenant 😅
Pure elite
Poor Astennu, he probably has no idea what they are saying and as a result just stands there awkwardly.
Poor Aussie lost in the European'ness. lol
He actually did understand some Norwegian at that point
Ahead of its time! They could have been really big if they came out years later
Great band. But the whole chewing gum thing kind of drove me nuts..
Pretty embarassing video, this one... For them. But this was a long time ago.
Yes. It’s funny to think about, they are literally just 19-20 year old young men. Some amazing albums being composed and recorded by fairly young people. Nexus, Spiritual Black Dimensions etc
Pricisely! So interesting music and, at the same time, so primitive and childish behaviour of its authors.
Aww Hellhammer was playing with them !
maharef he’s always played in the kovenant
@@robertak4783 I don't think he's a member of the kovenant no more
@@robertak4783 not really. he joined on the 2nd album
Are you implying that is cute? This doesn’t seem like an awww moment. Hellhammer has also done session drumming for many bands.
Maharef yes. Hellhammer is one of the reasons they won best album. His drumming is magnificent on Nexus Polaris
Neat, thanks for uploading!
🙂
@@pilsking1976 you are a legend
One of the best era of dimmu borgir even they didn't win. When I saw Mustis in the video, miss him so much 🖤😞
Yeah I miss Mustis as well, after he left Dimmu hasn't been the same
@@ToastedCigar true, even though they were doing well just before he was recruited e.g. enthroned darkness in 97, and he joined in 98
@@ToastedCigarПускай .Covenant. спасибо скажут DimmuBorgir за то что их продвинули на блек метал сцену
Привет из Беларуси.
If you like this clip, check out Dimmu Borgir's live performance at this very same event. Dimmu Borgir played Grotesquery Conceiled, and Astennu played lead guitar, topless :) That's why he has no shirt when receiving the award with The Kovenant. Here's Dimmu: ua-cam.com/video/ot--k6GRlR8/v-deo.html
Wow! Beat Dimmu! Well not surprised too much Nexus Polaris is so amazing. I guess that was when Astennu was playing with Dimmu too.
And look how ahead of the times they were the way they dressed
Love norwegian black metal.
Ahead of the times? They copied Marilyn Manson.
gorgeous
Damn this is proof that the United States is a horrible country for any fan of Metal to live in. We would never see music like this on television.
There was a sense of pride among some big Norwegian media at the time, about this kind of music, and musical export from Norway. But this was a long time ago...
if i had known what i listened to and how accepted that is by the averages, i would have felt very very bad. And how they just take it for granted and the rocknroll hairt metal behavior, and those boots... and shirtless in front off suit wearers.. and that Hells Angels righ wing model as a moderator and that stiff bavarian bitch on his side.. ok culture shock , no offense, just not my pair of shoes, sorry. and literally.
@pilsking1976 I love black metal. I wish I was in my late teens around this time. The late in early 2000s for rock in America was the best once it hit 2010s rap and pop completely took away booooo
I really liked their nexus polaris album. Pure fucking genius metal
좋은 영상 고맙습니다
I’m curious what did he say in his acceptance speech ? I unfortunately don’t speak Norse , but I’m trying to learn. It’s such a beautiful language
It is a funny speech, lol. Basically, he is saying " I am moved to tears, I don`t know what I am going to say ( but he is joking lol). Is it so special to be nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Award? We don`t really have so much to say. Hi to you people upstairs ( he is waving at some people sitting upstairs). What am I going to say? Yes, we can thank our record label, because thanks to them we get to live at Plaza ( one of the best hotels in Norway) and we get all the money we want to buy a lot of beers. And we can also thank ourselves because we have been really lazy, this is why you have not heard about us, so it is weird that we won. So, I don`t know, maybe that is all we have to say and we see you maybe next year, thank you! "
the only time i saw them, was in oslo 2010! the Kovenant are the greatest loss i feel musically. what a waste of talent not going further!!
I guess you have to check out Troll!
@@naturewisdom2556 I like Troll as well... not as much Kovenant tho.
Great speech and attitude that added some pepper to that lenten pompous vanity fair called Spellemannsprisen. It's good with some disturbance in the swamp >:-) These guys stayed true to themselves.
Astera-girl ftw!
Hellhammer is standing there like: "I wish I never became Von Blomberg"
I remember when i got this in vhs
Nagash is not human he is from kovenant
is that nagash with the giant head?
Heavily inspired by Babylon 5...
From Mexico Since 02 Heard this Cheers
That's really cool! I wonder if the band is still alive. Animatronic is one of the best albums ever.
Covenant was awesome
Kovenant, they look like fuckin posers
@@mork6668 Same band though, and the only reason they changed their name was because of copyright with a Swedish band.
Yea it's still alive they just taking a long ass time to release something
Grande Noruega premiando a sus bandas de BM ❤
Ahora parecen bandas de cumbia argentina
Norway sou great greets from graz austria
Were they speaking Norwegian or Swedish! 🤔 Was the gum-chewing SUPPOSED TO BE an ASMR moment?
Nagash/Lex Icon is speaking normal eastern/south-eastern Norwegian dialect. Like in and around Oslo. I think he's from Hamar.
@@pilsking1976 Cool! But I was inquiring about the man and woman before they came onstage. And the guy with the red hair is handsome and ABSOLUTELY FUCKING hilarious! "What do you have to say? Hail Satan!" 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🤘🏻🖤
@@dmhq-administration The male presenter is Morten Diesel Dahl, drummer in Norwegian metal band TNT. He speaks Trondheim-dialect. The female presenter speaks western Norwegian dialect, with the characteristic "German" r's. All dialects are different, but are understood by most native Norwegians.
@@pilsking1976 Well, thank-you very much for all of that useful information and on being calm, patient and gentle about it. SKÅL! 🤔🥰🤗💖🇨🇦🍻
I wish I could understand more than just "bow down"
MUNDANUS IMPERIUM!!!
I remember getting the "the spectral spheres coronation digipiac or something in '98 i think...i thought this album is so underground, no one will know about this band,LOL...so cool to hear the name again.
Desde então não ganharam mais nada. Eles poderiam ter refeito o primeiro álbum antes de trocar o gênero da música.
Es una de mis bandas favoritas de metal pero he conocido a canis con mejores modales. Alguien sabe qué narices están diciendo?
Vem var gubben i Hells Angels patchen?
Morten "Diesel" Dahl, trommis i TNT + Tindrum. Norsk metal-veteran :)
Astennus's shirtless it is kind of sad.
He looked SO uncomfortable in that situation :)
@@pilsking1976 Yes, it seems awful, I guess. He was there to play Black Metal, not to charade in a pop kind of event, ffs.
I think he got over it..
Burde også fått prisen for tidens mest sjarmerende takketale
Flaueste...
No soy experto en Genero musical pero Hard Rock ?
Чувствуется что у норвежцев есть вкус)))
Nagash una verdadera Leyenda.
Un chingon de chingones!!!
Astennu is cold though
Hard Rock?
That Mundanus Imperium, tho'.
Hell's Angels announcing the awards,lol
Diesel Dahl from TNT
They look so goddamn uncomfortble lol
I LOVE NORWEGIAN. WHY THIS FUCKING WORLD CANT BE JUST LIKE NORWEGIAN?!
This is from 1998, not 99.
The award ceremony was in February 1999, but the award was for "Best metal album 1998". Dimmu Borgir played live just prior to this clip, and that's why Astennu has no shirt on, as he played with Dimmu just minutes earlier. I was watching this TV-program as it was broadcasted, and recorded it as well.
@@pilsking1976 I stand corrected!
@@pilsking1976por favor você tem a gravação da apresentação do Dimmu minutos antes? Eu não achei no seu canal...tem como colocar o link do vídeo? Beijos do BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Covenant? Kovenant?
Covenant at the time, The Kovenant when they won the same award in 99
O lex está muito lindo e sexy nesta época❤❤❤❤
Ahahaha, cute! 😂😂
I don't know what he's saying but i feel the pure cringe right now.
Not as cringe as your profile pic 🤓
Were the fuck are they now..
First world always one step ahead
Remise de prix par un hells angels hahaha
OLD SCHOOL BLACK METAL!!!
1994-1995 !!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great album, but better than Godless Savage Garden? I personally would say no.
Nice 😈
FRIKIS.
The Kovenant ImI 2018
spit out the fucking chew gum...
is this the cure? I used to love their demos...this is insanely gay
hard rock?????
02:35
1:24 I never knew panda bears were allowed to the theatre.
as for the rest of the video... geez, cringe is strong with this. O_O
They look ridiculous even for 90s black metal standards. Even hellhammer looks like a pirate.
A cringeworthy moment in Norwegian metal history... I'm glad I recorded it for posterity, though :)
The Beautiful people, the beautiful people! HAHA!
"Satanrock"? LOL
Pop black metal
Release Aria Galactica you f*ckers! Come on! The leaked samples are sooooo good!!!!
ArtisT 😂
The weird thing is Hellhammer is standing on stage with a homosexual (Pzy Coma) And when he commented on the fact that in the past some black metal dude killed a homosexual he said "good riddance" and "I have the utmost respect for the guy (the guy who did it)". Hypocrite as fuck.
Well...he was much younger (or a few years younger) when he said it. Also in context...he may not have said it as a homophobe but because he knew the man who did the deed and believed him to be a decent man.
How do you know who's homosexual and who isn't? I bet Hellhammer has changed his opinion on it these days though
@@kelleyreeves965 hellhammer ain't homophobic at all far from it he has gay friends and family members too
EU não entendo o que vocês falam...hellhamer e NAGASH ESTÃO casados com MULHERES nos dias atuais...Quem VOCÊS ESTÃO chamando de gays.? O NAGASH não é gay....alguém pode me explicar?
@@SaoFranciscoDeAssis2022 Psy Coma, o indivíduo de saia branca, é gay. A pessoa que escreveu o comentário principal afirmou que Hellhammer elogiou um artista de Black Metal acusado de ωαταг um homossexual, mas durante a cerimônia de premiação, estava ao lado de Psy Coma, que é homossexual, como se não o odiasse - por isso o chamou de hipócrita. Os outros comentários sugerem que Hellhammer mudou de opinião sobre a homossexualidade e não é mais contra. É basicamente isso.
Dimmu Borgir should have won 😭.
My goodness gracious! I love this band! I really do but they are so unprofessional my goodness! Chewing gum like a cow, drinking on stage, not wearing a shirt I mean WTF? Totally Ghetto and lame. Love this band but I'm going to forget I ever saw this. Jiminny Cricket!
I felt embarassed when this was on TV. So we agree ;)
Your comment made me laugh. I couln't agree more seriously it's so lame that it makes me feel bad for them, omg the cringe is real just by watching this haha.
Yet... I'm sorry but I have to confess, I got some soothing ASMR tingles from Nagash's gum !! :D
are you new to black metal? this is their goal...to cause shock
@@0xForp Naaaaah come on they ain't shocking anyone with that attempt at provocative teenage rebel attitude for the masses ! They're just embarrassing themselves haha.
And I don't blame them, they were young cocky wolves, boozing, probably high on lots of excitement and adrenaline... (Or maybe not, for what I care.) But I bet they had lots of fun ...obviously 😁 and I'm cool with that honestly, it doesn't take away their talent as musicians, not even my respect !
But I see no shocking actions here, just a nice cringe-making moment.
I totally agree brother. Nothing shocking here at all...just cringes...like scratching a chalk board with your nails. Still, I'm sure they got blasted afterwards and woke up with a nice hangover with their award. lol Cheers.
This is the cringiest thing I’ve seen
That was a good cringe.
Nagash ya se veia pedo y Astennu igual 😮😂
Don't get me wrong.i like nexus polaris...but this outfit is just tragic (apart from hellhammer).In 1999 i was 18years old and i am sure that this appearence won't bother me.But now in my 42 watching this guys look like that,just awful.They say Don't judge a book by its cover.....
I remember the evening when i taped this appearance. A complete cringeworthy moment, for sure. But Dimmu Borgir played Grotesquery Conceiled live on this same show, earlier. And that was totally killer! That's why Astennu is topless in this clip. He played live with Dimmu a little earlier. That clip is also on my channel, check it out.
OMG! HAIRS, HAIRS, HAIRS HAIRED HAIRS FULL OF HAIRED HAIRS AND HAIRS AND HAIRS...
Where the hell are you, hairs?!
Astennu! Where are you, too?
Covenant/TheKovenant - Where are you, Mr. Troll and IKEA-man? finally give us our "ARIA GALACTICA" arrrghh!
and Astennu!
and some haired metal AHAHAHAAAAH!
Astennu went back to Australia after being fired from Dimmu Borgir. He is bald today I believe, and there is a photo of him on wikipedia wearing a baseball cap.
que putas dijeron??? jajajaj
Bueno, en resumen dijo: "Estamos muy felices de estar aquí. Luisito salió apurao por eso ha venido sin camisa, y Carlitro no tenía nada que ponerse y le pidió prestada la falda a su hermana. Y bueno, yo me peiné mirando un VHS de Culture Club. Muchas gracias por el Grammy, saludos a A-ha... loosers."
@@javierdoldan Jajjj. Boy George o el mismísimo cantante de dead or Alive
Grammy...era cierto lo que decia fenriz del movimiento fashion en la escena black metal...como se degenero.
Pura poseria veo en todo ese circulo de glam black metal...pura basura.
escuchaste el disco? jajaja tu eres el poser, que se esta fijando si un grupo se hace famoso o no o si ganan un premio o no, si salen en los medios o lo que sea, en vez de fijarte la calidad de la música que hacen.
Para mi Nexus Polaris uno de los mejores discos que he escuchado.
lo mismo digo, es aluci
Nexus Polaris, de los mejores discos a finales los 90s, no hay discusiones de eso
@@zimsamhaim3686 poser =someone who poses (like for a picture or a video)
So yes they became fuckin posers!!
They weren't dressed like that in Nexus Polaris, in fact they were still Covenant
Girl is like a jew
Does that bother you too much? Don't be a yahoo.
Maybe the most cringe worthy moment in Norwegian "black metal" apart from when Satyr was doing Top 40 show "Give me a K!...Give me an I!....Give me an N!....". The final nail in the black coffin, which was somewhat pink at that point. After a few years of silence, a new generation arouse from the underground and proved that black metal in Norway could still be done with a pure malicious intent.
Faux je trouve que justement ce groupe s exrpime va dire leur esthétique et leur musique est juste de toute beauté
gay
Covenant who? AHAHAHAHAHA
wrong winner
more like wrong album, In Times Before The Light was so fucking good but afterwards they went to absolute shit
who was your winner?
Well they were big back then
cringefest all the way
Norway way to promote homosexuality through black metal lmaooooooo
homosexual
Tu?
well, you're right - but that was kinda intended... they wanted to shock the bm-scene and at that time they where already influenced by marilin manson-stuff...
Nice to meet you
Nagash was Pennywise in human form playing black metal before crossing the gates of hell. 😂
