Covenant is from the best black metal projects on earth ... This album "In times before
the light" is really a masterpiece , I find great art in their tracks . Their melodic
black metal riffs are really outstanding , with the keyboards making a great atmosphere
combining melody with agressiveness ...

Listen to the track for more accurate timings .

The tab is complete and all riffs are present . Good Luck :)))
