Daniël Jansen is the drummer of The Covenant, a DIY rock band from Amsterdam active since 1988. Alongside singer Frank van der Reep, guitarist Hans Koomans and bassist Erol Erdogan, the band has built a loyal following in the Dutch rock circuit, with past support slots for Pearl Jam, New Model Army and Shane McGowan & The Bad Seeds. Their ninth album, *The Age of Rage*, came out in March 2025 - partly a tribute to founding bassist Peter Stap, who died in 2021.
*The Age of Rage*, the ninth album by The Covenant, was released on March 21, 2025 via Dutch & Dregs in a limited edition of 777 numbered copies, packaged in a photo frame with artwork in Amsterdam School style.
Written in Music published a glowing review of *The Age of Rage* and described The Covenant's music as 'stadium rock for small venues'.
The Covenant is currently on the album tour for *The Age of Rage*; the band describes it on its own website as 'its ninth album tour'.
Founder and bassist Peter Stap died in 2021, which brought the band into an uncertain period; ultimately The Covenant decided to continue with Erol Erdogan as the new bassist.
