about

Been once in this land, you will never be able to return back. But apparently, you've already made a choice. So let's go ahead. This is the place where the men fear to tread. Mountain ranges spin ancient marble roads edged with iron into inconceivable nodes and forks. Which way is yours - that's only your personal decision. At the feet of incredibly high cliffs, there are the fragments of previous civilization. Covered with frost, majestic ruins sparkle in the sun, blown by the mountain winds. As far as you can imagine, behind a gloomy forest, in a mystical haze, there is a village of blacksmiths built of thousand-year-old trees, whose craft was so appreciated by the King. Huge furnaces stand dead, but ready to work if necessary. It seems that the people just left their dwellings , having kept the things just how they were, and they are about to return now. But let's return on to our path. It lies underneath the sheer cliffs, bordered by large boulder stones blown by a crackling frosty wind. It seems there's a kind of mysterious dialogue between the stones and the wind. Here stands the tower of Old Raven, named in honor of the King's immortal favorite, who sits on the one of the wall battlements. Going upwards a thousand man-high steps , from a loophole you could see the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen - there is a forest, here is a river, here's the path we have already overcomed through the rocks, leaving the peaks behind the clouds, high into the sky. But, let's go down to the ground, and even a little bit lower. Here you can see a secret passage directly through the rocks , hidden from prying eyes, through the mountains, to any place in this area. Just go down through these gloomy, foggy caves, and then - right into the artificial tunnels - the inherent roads of these places. Echoes of the voices and steps can still be heard in those stone corridors - infinitely long and terrifying. It's still reflecting off the walls. Getting out of one such tunnel, far away in a haze of clouds, the silhouette of a white mountain can be distinguished. In a thousand years you will reach its foot. You'd better keep you ears open! ! At the top of the mountain in this rock there is a city sparkling with gold of the World's Three Stars . The best Masters have built and decorated this city for generations. . All the roads of the world converge here ultimately. In the very center of the city there is a palace - the pearl of Masters' creation. Nobody knows what's up there now. But still, sometimes the march of the royal guard might be heard - the booming steps making the Earth tremble.

International Epic / Atmospheric Black Metal. Get ready for an incredible emotional roller-coaster ride! Sojourner delivers in spades! All the various instruments used, the contrast of the voices: female, clean & non, create a truly awsome experience! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

I bought this a while back but only listened to it now... How much time I have wasted! I could have been delighting my ears a couple of months ago... It is beyond beautiful. The music & those female vocals! I am in love! It is way too short & I need more! Plus it is a debut! Could not recommend more highly! bmurator

Ive been listening to a lot of James Benson’s music lately and I’m so happy and thankful to call him a friend. Go check out his other equally amazing bands: Chrome Waves, Comatose, Solshade, Nótt, Adora Vivos, Fail to Decay. Love you ❤️ Matilde (Nadine Maziarz)
