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.

Grey Skin
Enochian Crescent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of opened skin and weeping flesh
Dare you take this sharp key
And penetrate the carnal wall
What treasures will it reveal?
Perhaps a hidden truth beneath...
Made of shadows and grey skin
Dare you open the jaws
And look into the red
Open the gates of skin
And see the horde within
Dare you listen their weeping
(Those red tears dropping)
The silent moans from their mouths
And the flowing sighs...
Dare you take this path
For it's made of bleeding
And of suffering and screams
...Although it's all rewarding
I dare to tread there
Where the unfanged jaws drool
Bitter phlegm to amuse
The horde of shadows...
...And grey skin
The lyrics of Enochian Crescent's song "Grey Skin" are dark and twisted, painting a gruesome and macabre portrait of a world where there is a choir of people with open skin and weeping flesh. The lyrics seem to be a dare to the listener to take a sharp key and penetrate the "carnal wall" to reveal the hidden truth beneath. The singer asks what treasures will be revealed, indicating that the pain and suffering of opening the skin might be worth it in the end. The song's imagery is disturbing, with references to drooling jaws, red tears dropping from mouths, and silent moans.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is not just describing a twisted world, but rather is a part of it. They "dare to tread there where the unfanged jaws drool, bitter phlegm to amuse the horde of shadows and grey skin." This hints that the singer is not an outsider, but rather someone who is part of this world of pain and suffering.
Overall, "Grey Skin" is a disturbing and eerie song that paints a vivid picture of a world where pain and suffering are the norm. The lyrics are a challenge to the listener to explore this world, but it is unclear whether the singer is inviting the listener to join them in this dark place or warning them to stay away.
Line by Line Meaning
Do you dare to join the choir
Are you willing to become a part of this group?
Of opened skin and weeping flesh
Who have opened up their skin and are in pain.
Dare you take this sharp key
Are you brave enough to hold this tool?
And penetrate the carnal wall
Can you pierce through the barrier of flesh?
What treasures will it reveal?
What secrets lie hidden beneath?
Perhaps a hidden truth beneath...
Maybe there's more than what meets the eye.
This drooling call attracts the one
This alluring invitation appeals to someone
Made of shadows and grey skin
Who is made up of darkness and grey skin.
Dare you open the jaws
Are you brave enough to pry open the mouth?
And look into the red
And gaze into the bloody abyss.
Open the gates of skin
Peel away the outer layer of flesh.
And see the horde within
Witness the multitude dwelling within.
Dare you listen their weeping
Will you listen to their cries?
(Those red tears dropping)
(As their blood-red tears fall)
The silent moans from their mouths
The wordless groans they make.
And the flowing sighs...
And the heavy breaths they exhale.
Dare you take this path
Are you ready to embark on this journey?
For it's made of bleeding
For it is full of pain and bloodshed.
And of suffering and screams
And filled with agony and screams.
...Although it's all rewarding
...Yet the end result is worth it all.
I dare to tread there
I am daring enough to walk down that path.
Where the unfanged jaws drool
Where the toothless mouths drool incessantly.
Bitter phlegm to amuse
Injecting bitter humor to break the tension.
The horde of shadows...
And the multitude of shadows with grey skin.
