Crest Of Darkness' lineup includes founder and frontman Ingar Amlien (Roquefire, Conception, Amlien's Inferno) on bass and vocals, Rebo on guitars, Bernhard (ex- Pale Forest) on drums, and Kristian Wentzel on keyboards.
Earlier this year Amlien admitted that he sees Welcome The Dead as having a special significance for him personally: "I've put a hell of a lot of myself and my emotions into this album, even more so than usual. I've always felt that when we are on stage, we create a sort of magic, and this time we have been able to transfer that magic to the recordings. You could say this is my personal Black Mass.”
