Coven 6669

Not to be confused with: • Coven 13 (Heavy/Doom Metal from Detroit, Michigan; originally named Coven) • Coven 25 (Heavy/Power Metal/Hard Rock from Arizona, originally named Coven) • Coven (Heavy Metal from Detroit, Michigan, with 4 members of Tyrant / Syrant ) • Coven (Psychedelic Rock from Chicago, Illinois w/ vocalist Jinx Dawson ) • Koven (Thrash Metal from Old Bridge, New Jersey) • Covven (Death Metal/Grindcore from Minneapolis, Minnesota) Coven reformed after a longer hiatus and subsequently added "6669" (also the title of one of their songs) to their name due to a legal dispute and to avoid confusion with the psychedelic rock band from Chicago. They recorded some more original songs in the '90s after the release of the "Boneless Christian" album, but these were likely never officially released. A CD-R with the tracks, along with some "Boneless Christian"-era rehearsals was being sold on eBay sometime around 2004, but was not an official release of the band. Some of their members also had a side project called Crush around 1994. Not many details are known about this project/band, besides that they played at least one live show in June '94 with (#invalid band link ID#), Twisted Fate and Wicked Ass. Compilation appearances: - "Burn the Cross" on Metal Meltdown II (Medusa/Ever Rat, 1987) - "6669" on Metal Meltdown Vol. III ( Ever Rat Records , 1988) - "Death Walks Behind You" on From the Home Office in Culver City The Enigma / Restless NMS 10 Cassette ‎ (Enigma/Restless, 1989) - "Mow 'Em Down" on A Tribute to the Dehumanizers Retro as Hell (Portnow Intertainment Group, 2010) - "Mow 'Em Down" on The Zombie Pit Compilation (Portnow Intertainment Group/Manic Pogo, 2011) - "Mow 'Em Down" on Tales From the Pit Vol. 3 (Portnow Intertainment Group, 2013) - "McDonald Massacre" on North Sound Punx 1981-2018 (Moribund Records, 2018) - "Succubus" (remix) on N.W.
