NEWS: Its a dark new dawn for Crest!

Last year Finnish Metalcore outfit Crest found a new vocalist in Jessie Salmi and since then have been busy writing new material. The first taste of the shape of punk to come surfaced last November when their first single together “Stigma” premiered and now they have offered something darker and heavier in one called  “Onyx”. Are you ready?

Vocalist Jessica Salmi: “Onyx tells the story of a real life parasite that has affected me through my life, my relationships and various other situations. When this ‘parasite’ finally got a name in -23, I then saw my life completely in a different light. I decided I won’t let this parasite control me, I am going to control it.”

Guitarist Tero Loponen: “First version of the song kind of wrote itself in one session. The demo was already recorded and the vocal arrangements were next in line, when i got an idea to change the structure completely. Now in the final version the chorus and the breakdown are playing a bigger role and this emphasizes the lyrical aspect of the song more. Now it feels like a journey that grips you from the beginning to the end”
