MMIX
Our resolution for 2009 is to compose and record 9 excellent songs for fourth full-length album. Nothing more nothing less.
Last month quite unexpectedly became a true turning point in terms of putting an end to a sense of incompletion within the band. We feel that at the moment we have cemented a strong line-up filling the two open positions with persons of considerable skill and attitude.
While we still are having an official break from onstage performances this new turn of events and an offering at the exact right time sees us climb the stage on Sat 10 January.
This is an excellent trial-by-fire for the new members, whom shall be announced later. After the gig we are diving deep and digging hard to unearth the new album.
The infection spreads, bit by bit, soul by soul. And day by day, the world grows more grey.

August 2008 Update
In case you were wondering, Dr. von Pfosforus (bass) & Mathias (guitars) are not active members of Enochian Crescent anymore. All things come to an end and despite our fruitful co-operation during the past 6-7 years it became impossible to go on with either of these sons of the devil. We as a band are used to swimming upstream, and this is but another eddy in our flow.
We have had the pleasure of working with skilled messieurs Tunturituuli & Murska who have already filled in for the absentees on 4 to 5 live shows and also do those evil deeds onstage for the remaining five shows of 2008.
After the final live show of the Autumn (4 October 2008 in Turku) we shall take a break from playing live, regroup, and start the long hard work of composing, arranging, and rehearsing for the new full length album.
Fono from Russia has just released a 2 cd version of Black Church. A previously unreleased track from the 'Citizen Cain' sessions called 'Spirit Murder' is on CD2.
Black Church Vinyl Lp and Zipper Hoodie
Hammer of Hate has released a truly magnificient vinyl version of Black Church. The ecclesiastic gatefold covers are decorated with a dismal mural by Helgorth of Babalon Graphics.
To shelter yourself from the wrath of the dark gods remember to dress your mortal coil properly. The new Zipper Hoodie is perfect repentance wear for every Omega Pilgrim.

Black Metal meets Black Church
Sometimes life has pleasant surprises in store for you. Our collective hearts jumped in joy when we got booked to open up a show in Helsinki for Venom. The band that is the progenitor of a whole genre of metal. Black Metal.

Enochian Crescent video released
Video for the song "Ghost of Saturn" is available at Youtube.com
» Watch Ghost of Saturn
The "Ghost of Saturn" clip was filmed in March & April 2007 with director Tommi Lind in the countryside near Tampere, Finland. The video brings to life visually the heavy-hearted aspects of the song and its lyrics. The song portrays conventional Saturnian aspect of time, that is as the elderly melancholic who's life is turning to the end. The video passes by as quickly as life itself.

Ghost of Saturn video
We are releasing our first video ever in May or June of 2007. The video was filmed in two sessions in March and April and final cut and master copy was just finished.
It shall be released in the internet on Youtube and Myspace videos and also hopefully can be seen on most metal related tv-shows around the world.
And as it is with this band the script and screenplay is nothing you would expect.
