Deathchant see the band as an expression of very intense brotherhood and friendship; major turning points in the lives of the band members—fatherhood, separation, and dealing with profound loss—flowed directly into the creation of “Kova.” These upheavals left such a deep mark that, according to the group, the material almost finished itself. As a eulogy to Davey Kova and to many other lost companions, the album conveys both collective grief and a very personal coming-to-terms.
On a musical level, “Kova” fuses raw energy with moments of introspection: punchy guitars, tight rhythmic arrangements, and vocals that swing between rage and remembrance.
