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.

Väkisinkastettu
Enochian Crescent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(the one who was) Baptized by force
Has made a fist out of his Anger
Reddened with Blood
(and) Clenched because of foreign lies
Puppet of the cross
Shall be thrown out with a curse
To Die out in the cold
On the icy lake a hatchet rang
Steel sang and drank Blood
(the one who was) Baptized by force
Has removed the poison from his flesh
The filth of bethlehem
A carcass refused (even) by vultures
The stench of the corpse
And rancid lies of the reverend
Shall be washed away with Blood
Eye for a fething eye
On the icy lake a hatchet rang
Steel sang and drank Blood
In the name of our lord Satan
I re-baptize myself
With the Blood of a thousand christians
I wash myself clean
Of the stench of rotten christ
Let Thy Coldness and Bleakness embrace me
O' Black Lord of Darkness, Thine slave I am
Let Thy Wrath and Fury rape me
O' lord Satan, Thine whore I am
(the one who was) Baptized with force
Has beget a Vengeance out of his Wrath
(a child) Devoted to Tuoni
(a child) Blessed with the strength of truth
The jewish clitlips
And the xtian sheep herd
Will be Beheaded with cheering
And Finland will be redeemed
On the icy lake I masturbated
And drank the Blood of holy man
On the icy lake I masturbated
And drank the Blood of a Dead xtian
The song "Väkisinkastettu" by Enochian Crescent is a powerful and provocative piece with lyrics that express intense feelings of anger and rebellion against established religious traditions. The title itself, which translates to "Baptized by Force," immediately signals the rebellious nature of the song. The first verse describes the singer, who was baptized against his will, and who has now become filled with anger and a desire for revenge against those who forced the baptism upon him. He has become a fist, clenched tight with rage and red with the blood that spills from his efforts to fight against the lies of the foreign religion that has taken hold of his land.
The chorus continues in the same vein, with an expression of hate for the puppet of the cross and the black-robed clergy who have imposed their religion on the land. The second verse describes the singer's rejection of the filth of Bethlehem and the stench of the corpse of the reverend. He has removed the poison from his flesh and washed himself clean of the rotten Christ. He now seeks revenge, calling for an eye for an eye, and the beheading of the Jewish and Christian followers. The bridge of the song speaks to the singer's devotion to Tuoni, the Finnish god of death, and his willingness to be raped and embraced by the lord Satan, in order to be redeemed and blessed with the strength of truth.
Overall, the lyrics of "Väkisinkastettu" are intense, rebellious, and provocative, expressing a deep desire for revenge against the imposition of foreign religions on the land of Finland.
