WATCH ‘Ember Wraith’ music video:

The first single from Through the Dying Mist EP, Ember Wraith, is pure Crowen from start to finish, offering no room to breathe. Crushing guitar riffs and furious blast beats alternate with slower, heavier passages. “From the very beginning, this song is a straight punch in the face,” says vocalist-songwriter Esa Uusimaa, and continues: “The riffs are technically fast-paced and demanding. Luckily, I have the incredibly skilled Sami Sandberg alongside me on guitar, and Tuomas Saukkonen’s monumental bass playing crowns the whole piece.”

Ember Wraith tells the story of a ghostlike entity, born from ashes and dwelling in hellfire. It is a shadow of the past, returning time and again to remind us of pain and loss. The message is both threatening and sorrowful. “Ember Wraith is a spirit of vengeance, walking the path of fire, destruction, and death. The lyrics awaken the thought that death must be respected,” Uusimaa explains.
