About the show
COVENANT XI will take place from September 24-26, 2026, as a mouth to hell promises to open in Vancouver, British Columbia, within the consecrated confines of the Rickshaw Theatre. For three nights, the boundaries between the Within and the Beyond will thin next to nothingness once again. An eleven-year pilgrimage of will and intent now crosses its next threshold. The Covenant Collective has endured through devotion, erosion, and return, guided by an unbroken vow to propagate art steeped in sinister shadow. At the eleventh zenith of this outer manifestation, we open the gates before us and within us to unleash the forces that stir in the hungry and wrathful beyond. Those with EYES to see, can stare further into the mouth of the abyss, but know also: the abyss stares into thee … From multiple corners of the globe—each manifestation of extremity, aligned in purpose, and prepared to tear further at the veil—we reveal the forces bound to this convergence so far: THE RUINS OF BEVERAST (Germany) MISÞYRMING (Iceland) RUÏM (Portugal) ABYSSAL (UK) SPITE (USA) VOLAHN (USA) BARSHASKETH (Scotland) LOKABRENNA (Iceland) EGREGORE (Canada) PRIMITIVE WARFARE (USA) DIABOLIC OATH (USA) BRAZEN HORDE (USA) FIRE MAGIC (USA) ZULXAXEKU (USA) TSALAL (Canada) IRON FIRMAMENT (USA) AKYROS EXPANSE (Canada) LIVING EVIL (Canada) More revelations will follow in the coming days as the full scope of the Covenant XI lineup is thrown into the flames of manifestation. Prepare now! Move with haste! Covenant XI draws near!!
