Cold I lie, all life drained
My life I gave for my king
Skilled - yet i failed. I the prey
What was once was will never be
My life of old has passed
Obscure my being, a tragedy
In solitude I roam
The forest king, the raging one
Herne I'm called
'Tween the worlds, not man not ghost
For eternity bound to ride
You will breathe and live
Your skill, your prowess I claim
For your life

Side project of Athelstan of UK pagan metal legends Forefather. Evocative of the English landscape - like a modern blend of Forefather's instrumental work and Mike Oldfield's 'Hergest Ridge'. Great! HERNE

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful. David Fischer

"Overall, Empires Of Ash is a very impressive album, the best so far in the Sojourner discography, although it's early days as Sojourner are still a relatively new band. The atmosphere is majestic, and there is no shortage of beautiful melodies. The theme behind the songwriting may not be entirely orignal, but the way Sojourner produce this music stands out, making it worthy enough to be mentioned alongside Caladan Brood and Summoning."
