''Covenant'' is the third official full-length album by Florida based death metal band Morbid Angel. It was released on June 22, 1993. This album represented Morbid Angel's first foray into mainstream metal, through their contract with Giant Records. The music video for "God of Emptiness" was featured on ''Beavis and Butt-head'' and received airplay on MTV. The style of this album is more akin to the slower style of the previous album ''Blessed Are the Sick''. Some early pressings of the album had a Parental Advisory logo on the cover. Future pressings of the album were produced without the advisory. ''Covenant'' was produced by Morbid Angel and Flemming Rasmussen; engineered by Tom Morris and Flemming Rasmussen at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida. Mixed by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. ''Coventant'' was reissued as a Digipak in 2011.〔("Morbid Angel | ''Covenant: 2011 Earache Records Reissue''" ).

The album's cover image shows a page from ''The Book of Ceremonial Magic'' by Arthur Edward Waite to the right, and a reproduction of "The Pact of Urbain Grandier" on the left. According to Nielsen Soundscan, ''Covenant'' was the best selling death metal album as of 2003, with sales of over 150,000 in the United States alone.〔Puzak, Chris (November 18, 2003).
