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.

Enochian Crescent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Progenitor of the devil, serpent of time
Adjustment at the will in Teloah we are alive
And in darkness enabled to being-becoming the one
Death, the final release
The dragon spreads his wings
Telocvovim
And claws to rend this world apart
Telocvovim
A cycle of cycles, always alone
Yet never lonely, at the bed of a harlot
Tiphereth, Saturnus, whom aeons begot
Another time a stranger, let him be known
Death, the final release
The draongs spreads his wings
Telocvovim
Death, the friend with loving arms
And claws to rend this world apart
Telocvovim
It was you who heard the Seraphim sing
While I rode the sharpest banshee sting
A toll of hellish might
But whose is the nobler power to clain?
The one light-hearted or of the darkest fame
Alas, for both are but pawns in a cosmic game
Regardless of the aim of their flight
A luminous spear brought new light into my blinded eyes
He lives in all of you

Death, the final release
The draongs spreads his wings
Telocvovim
Death, the friend with loving arms
And claws to rend this world apart
Telocvovim
The lyrics of Enochian Crescent's song Abaiuonin are richly metaphorical and mysterious, weaving together themes of death, rebirth, and cosmic power. The first stanza opens with an allusion to Lucifer, the "physical sun" and "progenitor of the devil," suggesting a figure of immense power and influence. The serpent mentioned is likely a reference to the ouroboros, an ancient symbol of eternal renewal and cyclical time. The singer suggests that in the darkness, they are "enabled to being-becoming the one," hinting at the transformative power of death and rebirth.
The second stanza of the song continues to explore the theme of death, describing it as "the final release" and personifying it as a dragon spreading its wings. The term "Telocvovim" likely holds significant meaning within Enochian mythology, but its precise meaning is unclear. The line "And claws to rend this world apart" suggests both destruction and creative potential.

Death is not something to be feared, but welcomed as a friend
And claws to rend this world apart

Another time a stranger, let him be known
Sometimes we encounter things that are unfamiliar to us, but it is important to acknowledge and learn from them
It was you who heard the Seraphim sing
Addressing a specific person who has had a spiritual experience and heard the voices of angels
While I rode the sharpest banshee sting
Another person had a painful, but enlightening spiritual experience
A toll of hellish might
Referring to the intensity of the spiritual experiences
But whose is the nobler power to clain?
Questioning which power is actually the most noble
The one light-hearted or of the darkest fame
Is it the one that appears light and happy, or the one that is associated with darkness and negativity?
Alas, for both are but pawns in a cosmic game
Ultimately, both forces are part of a larger cosmic plan that is beyond human understanding
Regardless of the aim of their flight
Despite their differences, both forces are headed towards the same destination
A luminous spear brought new light into my blinded eyes
A spiritual experience that brought enlightenment
He lives in all of you
Referring to a higher spiritual force that is present within all people

@tuhkis87 EC:ltä itseltään saa jos on zägä. Telocvovim trilogia on myyty loppuun jo vuosia sitten ja levyjen arvo on 50 - 100 euroa nykyään.
