The Swedish electro pop act Covenant has announced the death of Andreas Catjar-Danielsson. Andreas Catjar-Danielsson passed away in the very early morning of July 29 after a long struggle with cancer.

Originating from Snöstorp, Hallands Län, Sweden Andreas was a member in Souls and joined the Swedish band Covenant in 2013 contributing both on keyboards and guitars on such albums like “Leaving Babylon” released in 2013 and “The Blinding Dark” in 2016. He also composed music for theaters and produced the next Abu Nein album.

Covenant made an official communication on their Facebook page which you can read below.

Andreas Catjar-Danielsson’s last social media posts were various pictures and artworks. This was his last music work, an excellent cover of the Bow Wow Wow track “The Man Mountain” which he recorded with Antonia Henn.

Our sincere condolences go out to his friends and family. Rest in peace.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
