After a few quick member changes, the first whole line-up was completed. During the following autumn E. Vihma and A. Päivinen were found to complete the new style of Exe.

Soon after new year '05 M. Niemelä took his place behind the drums and the name eXsecratus was decided to be the new name of the band.

In spring '05 Mr. Niemelä left the band due to musical and personal differences. Soon to leave was also E. Hartikainen because of his military service.

During the summer and autumn '05 new songs were made, and in early '06 T. Kauhajärvi became a fulltime member even before his first practice session with the band..

Later in the same winter ex-Elenium and Draugnim drummer J. Raatikainen joined the group to boost the effort to make it as a real, powerful and fast metal band.

In spring '06 E. Silvennoinen came along and filled the missing gap in the melody department. So Exe became stronger and made their first demo 19.8.-1.9.06, which was named execute.

On october -06 E.Vihma and A.Päivinen left the band due to personal difficulties between them and the rest of the band.
The following day L-M.Hovila filled the gap in lead-singing department.
And less than week from that, K.Rautiainen became a serious candidate for the soon-to-be-found solo-guitarist.

On January K.Rautiainen left Exe, and was replaced with T. Hentilä, a young guitarist from Vantaa.

And so Exsecratus returned to the rehersal-place and started to kick some newbie-ass.
Not too long after that, Exsecratus as a fully functional metal-regiment once more and rose to the stages again in early december -06.

Suicide
Exsecratus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A few steps away from my destiny
The trail before me narrows suddenly
I can see it now justified, silent, calm
The path to the bliss

Crimson moon lighting my path to eternity
Whispers in the wind encouraging me

Recalling the last night together
All the joy I once felt
You stole my heart you devious being
Time to show you the way
One path to the end forever so dear
You're forever mine
Feeling your hand touching me again
I miss you now my friend

I can see it now justified, silent, calm
The path to the bliss

Suicide behind the lake of tears
To escape all her fears

Enter the world of dreams
Finally free to live

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Exsecratus's song Suicide portray a person who is ready to take their own life. The beginning of the song conveys that the person is only a few steps away from their destiny, and the trail before them suddenly narrows. The person sees the path to bliss before them, and the crimson moon lights their path to eternity. The whispers in the wind are encouraging them to take this step. The person recalls the last night together with someone dear to them, and in that moment, they feel that it's time to show that person the way (presumably the way to the path of the bliss). The next part of the song has a narrative where the person thinks that their devious lover (who stole their heart) is forever theirs, and they are feeling their touch once again. They miss their friend who was a lover but the time to end their own existence has come. It's said that suicide lies behind the lake of tears and that through it, the person hopes to escape all their fears and enter the world of dreams where they can live free at last.
