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 ↴
With Drugs of MASHU, My Shaman Magick
Self-inflicted, be Thou The Sword behind me
...Remember... ...Remember...
Thee I Invoke, Spirit of The Sunset
In The Name of The Most Mighty Hosts, I stand firm
Necromantic Art, Dwellers of CUTHA
I Desire to Speak Thee, to Travel Black Earth
From The Unknown God, protect me
From The Unknown Daemon, protect me
From the unknown enemy, protect me
As I go Afar, to A Baneful World
Thee I Invoke, Mistress of The Rising Star
For We Shalt Fornicate, Debauchery of Sodom
Drink of My Seed, be Thou The Eyes behind me
Stand at my side, at The Gate of No Return
...Remember... ...Remember...
Thee I Invoke, Thee I Shalt Serve
An Ancient Pact, Borne of Sumer
The Spear behind me, The Armor behind me
As I go Afar, to The Age of Dust
From The Unknown God, protect me
From The Unknown Daemon, protect me
From the unknown enemy, protect me
As I go Afar, to A Baneful World
And when The Spirit of The One Called Appears
May The Dead Rise and smell The Incense
UTUK XUL Ta Ardata Barra Uug
KUTULU Ta Attalakla!!!
The lyrics of Enochian Crescent's song "Afar" delve into themes of invoking spiritual powers and embarking on a journey to distant and otherworldly realms. The first verse sets the tone with the invocation of the Spirit of The Overcoming, possibly signifying a transcendence of limitations and obstacles through the use of shaman magic and mind-altering substances. The reference to "The Age of Dust" suggests a realm of antiquity or decay into which the singer is venturing, seeking wisdom or transformation.
The second verse invokes the Spirit of the Sunset, symbolizing a passage from light to darkness or from life to death. The singer stands firm in the name of mighty powers, possibly seeking protection or guidance as they delve into the realm of necromancy and communication with otherworldly beings. The mention of CUTHA and the desire to travel the Black Earth hint at a connection to the underworld or realms of the dead, where dark knowledge may be sought.
The third verse invokes the Mistress of the Rising Star, a figure associated with initiation or rebirth through forbidden acts such as fornication and debauchery. The imagery of drinking seed and being guided by unseen forces through the Gate of No Return suggests a willingness to embrace taboo practices and face the consequences, possibly in pursuit of hidden truths or secret knowledge.
The final verses reiterate the singer's invocation of supernatural beings for protection and guidance as they journey to a baneful world, possibly hinting at a quest for forbidden knowledge or a descent into dark realms. The mention of an Ancient Pact linked to Sumerian lore and the invocation of powerful entities like UTUK XUL and KUTULU add layers of arcane symbolism and mysticism to the lyrics, leaving the listener to ponder the mysteries of the spiritual journey undertaken by the singer of the song.
