History

Tenet was formed by Jed Simon in the summer of 1996. Together with Steve Wheeler, they started getting Simon's ideas down to demo-tape form, but while both continued playing with their respective bands, nothing much happened for Tenet apart from some casual jam-sessions, which among others also included musicians like Stu Carruthers. Simon had met guitarist Glen Alvelais in 1997 when Strapping Young Lad was touring with Testament, with whom Alvelais was playing at the time. After becoming friends, Simon asked Alvelais to join Tenet.

''Sovereign'' (2009)

After signing a deal with Century Media Records, Simon began working on Sovereign with bassist Byron Stroud as well as drummer Adrian Erlandsson. After reviewing the fact that not enough attention could be devoted to the project by Erlandsson, due to the large geographical distance and other pending commitments, Simon turned back to his longtime partner Gene Hoglan to take care of the final drum duties. Tenet was still looking for a vocalist, though after a few auditions, Steve "Zetro" Souza was selected for the album. It was mixed by Simon together with Vincent Wojno and mastered by Andy Sneap.
After many years of delays and setbacks, Tenet finally released their debut album, Sovereign, on July 20, 2009, in Europe.
