A band from oslo, playing female fronted gothic rock with catchy melodies, massive guitars and a soothing female voice. They were formed in 1996 by Nell and Kristian Sigland. After some name and line-up changes the band decided on the name "THE CREST" in 1999, after recording their second demo. From this time the band developed their own, characteristic sound.
In 2001 The Crest recorded their first release, "Letters from Fire", in France, together with Terje Refsnes (producer of Tristania, Carpathian Forest, The Sins of thy Beloved).
In 2003 the band decided to take a sabbatical to regain time and energy to record their next album. Nell and Kristian dedicated some time for side project named "Rustflower Incorporated", experimenting with electronic music.
Furthermore, Nell succeed to the crown of Theatre of Tragedy's fired vocalist Liv Kristine.
In 2004 The Crest reunited and recorded their second album, "Vain City Chronicles" at the Top Room Studio in Norway.
"Vain City Chronicles" shows, according to the band, "a heavier, more guitar-based side of the band, while still focusing on the characteristic melancholic melodies and of course Nell's soothing voice."
In October 2010, Nell and Kristian stated that The Crest has split up to enable other projects.
Line Up:
Nell Sigland - vocals
Kristian Sigland - guitars, programming
Stian Aarebrot - guitars
Klaus Blomvik - drums
Magnus Westgaard - bass guitar

Come on Down
The Crest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she smiles, she manage to catch you up in her own mood.
Didn't mean to act untouchable,
unreachable to you.
But it's funny how you get your way
just like a little child.
But the games are over now...
In her eyes there's no such thing as behaving affectedly.
When she cries, she manage to catch you up in her own mood.
Didn't mean to act untouchable,
unreachable to you.
But it's funny how you get your way
just like a little child.
But the games are over now...
and it's time to come on down.
Didn't mean to act untouchable,
unreachable to you.
But it's funny how you get your way
just like a little child.
But the games are over now...
and it's time to come on down.
The Crest's song "Come On Down" highlights the emotions and behavior of a woman who is testing the ground cautiously, uncertain of what she may find. Through her cautious walking, the woman seems to be scouting the environment, assessing whether it is safe to proceed. However, her mood switches when she smiles; she can catch people up in her own mood, shifting their focus from the cautious exploration of their environment to enjoy and embrace the moment.
The lyrics also highlight the singer's realization that they were acting "untouchable" and "unreachable" to someone they care about. Despite not intending to come across like that, they find that things have a way of going their way, possibly because of their childlike behavior. The games are over now, and it is time to come down and face the reality of their actions. The song suggests that it is better to remain open and vulnerable to others, to allow them into our lives to experience, share emotions, and grow with them.
