The international atmospheric black metallers Sojourner are just about to release a follow up album to the highly acclaimed debut, Empires Of Ash, released in 2016. The new album, which will be officially released on 15th March via Avantgarde Music is entitled The Shadowed Road, and it's built on the very same mood that made its predecessor one of the best underground releases of 2016.
Long pieces, extreme roots turned into melodic and atmospheric melodies, and a delicate tin whistle. Moreover, the addition of the new drummer, Riccardo Floridia (Atlas Pain), helped Sojourner to reach a more varied, all-round sound. The Shadowed Road was Mixed by Øystein G. Brun (Borknagar) at Crosound Studio in Norway and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound AB in Sweden, while Anders Jacobsson of Draconian provided the lyrics for the song “Titan” and Romanian illustrator Bast took care of the cover and internal artworks.
As guitarist and composer Mike Lamb explains, the gist of The Shadowed Road, “is more hopeful than nihilistic, and the lyrics for the final title track basically encapsulate the atmosphere of the album musically and lyrically”.
