This is their most black metal sounding album. Later albums started to sound like modern metal or with hints of djent influence.
Great debut by the band. I love Dark Souls and black metal, so this is great! Sid
"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."

When times getting rough, and life feels like crawling through a forest of barbed wire, there is this album that cheers me up. Thanks for backing me. misty_shade_of_endless_winter (Falk)
