Coven

A long-lost (until recently) second-division thrash band, Coven formed in the mid-eighties, and enjoyed some success throughout their three-album career. Blessed Is The Black, their debut reviewed here, had a simplistic but heavy early thrash style and some pretty over-the-top lyrics. By the mid-nineties they were done, but the duo of brothers Dean and Neal Babbitt have put together a new edition of the band in 2012 (now technically called Coven 6669) and may record in the future. Note: no relation to the Detroit band who also went under the name Coven and now is officially Coven 13, nor the 70's act Coven.
