After all the twists and turns, ups and downs that we have lived through as years rolled by I never thought that there would be a day when Wrath and I put our musical partnership to a shelf. The decision was a moment of both great sadness and great relief. However, this was something that had to be done at this stage to ensure the continued productive musical careers of both parties. I can assure you all that both Wrath with True Black Dawn and I with the remaining members of Enochian Crescent, now known as The Crescent, shall outpour new music with newfound vigour and intensity.
When we founded Enochian Crescent in 1995, Wrath and I made a pact that should either quit the band we would put the name to rest also. As a man of my words I shall honour this agreement. The remaining members (Bolton - drums, Tunturituuli - bass, Vilhelm - guitar, and Viktor - guitar, vocals) shall continue the musical legacy of Enochian Crescent and you will be hearing songs from the old albums in the live-set. We recruited Hellwind Tuonenjoki as our new lead vocalist, who is already singing on the upcoming The Crescent album "Risti" (transl. Cross) which shall be released by Spinefarm Records in early 2013.
The remaining band members wish Wrath all the best in the future and I personally want to thank my long standing Omega Comrade and friend for all these years. He is a man with unique vocal talent and personality to match in this world of mediocrity.
Even though these news might shock and upset some, worry not; it was all for the best. And you may enjoy both the voice of Wrath and the music of Enochian Crescent in near future.

A Dream Of Basaltic Submarine Towers Of Titanic Proportions And Nightmare Angels
Enochian Crescent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unquiet, GHARNE Landscape
Coarse - grained perceptions, Inhale exotic Drugs
God's Shadow Looms, Ancient Beyond Words
It's A Sin to Scorn Him
It's A Great Sin in His Eyes
Transcend to A dream of basaltic submarine towers
Of titanic proportions and Nightmare Angles
Burrowed Beneath, two rolling seas
My soul Drowns to Antiquity
In matters of Myth and Time - Lost Lore
I'm Enticed by The Purest Evil
It's A Sin to Scorn Him
It's A Great Sin in His Eyes
- And This too you would do!!!
In His Name, once again
Sacrilege and Sin, Rites Evil and Grim
Open the Gate, once again
Unleash The Evil!!!
The lyrics to Enochian Crescent's "A Dream of Basaltic Submarine Towers of Titanic Proportions and Nightmare Angels" depict a world ruled by a malevolent force, with imagery of basalt walls and sepulchres creating an eerie, unquiet atmosphere. The singer describes inhaling exotic drugs, leading to a transcendental dream of massive underwater towers and nightmare angels. The language used is often archaic and mythological, with references to ancient gods and lost lore. The singer seems to be drawn to this world of evil and the purest evil, despite knowing it is a sin to scorn and great sin in the eyes of this malevolent force.
