SOJOURNER - The Deluge (Official Video) | Napalm Records

Pre-order "Premonitions" here: smarturl.it/S-Premonitions
Produced by Oliver König - mbience visuals mbience.de
Out May 8th
“The Deluge” offers a first glance at the upcoming release spanning a wide range of musical forms and unfolding into a musically unpredictable ode to the unknown. Premonitions is in this sense not only a masterfully told story, but much more a milestone confirming the group’s unique approach towards the genre!
Emilio Crespo states:
“”The Deluge” represents the personal journeys that the members of SOJOURNER have endured for the past year. A deluge/flood is a devastating event that leaves a trail of destruction in its wake and this is encapsulated in the melancholic lyrics, hard rhythm and blistering leads of the track. We felt that “The Deluge” sets a darker tone and pace for the new album and therefore it was our first choice for the leading single of the new album, Premonitions.
Due to the fact we are an international band spanning the globe, we decided to emphasize this in our first video by not pursuing one particular style, but telling the story of all the members coming together from their separate paths while mixing in stylized band shots which were all expertly shot and edited by the talented Oliver König."
Mike Lamb adds:
"Scotland has some of the most breathtaking landscapes and is a place we all hold close to our hearts for various reasons. That paired with the fact it was the right fit for “The Deluge” and SOJOURNER thematically, it was an easy decision to have the Scottish Highlands as the setting of the video."

Thank you so much everyone for the amazing response to this! It means a lot to us all!

[@VikingSchism]

Thank you for the amazing music, been listening and loving it since Empires of Ash and both of the previous albums are some of my favourites :)

Well. Good music is good fucking music. Keep it up.

I just found your band a few days ago and I've been listening to your albums since then nonstop :D This video is a great production! Greetings from Finland.

Oh there is still forest and deserts that are not occupied by recording metal bands...you just have to look a bit harder ;)

I was trying to find this video again but couldn't remember the name and it was almost impossible. Searching "black metal music video in forest" comes up with every black metal music video ever recorded lol

[@dead.inside.585]

"I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty" - I am 26 years and I live in a depressing city called Dhaka. There is so much pollution, light, people, and noise. It's lost its touch with nature. And I feel suffocated living and stuck in this city. My heart doesn’t belong here anymore. I want to watch stars when the sun goes down, I want no buildings on my horizon, only trees, ground, and sky. This song with its music video made me realize all these thoughts. This song reminds me of all the falls and fountains I have visited. This song reminds me of my happiest days camping in the seclusion of the mountains. This song touches my heart, it licks the wounds there. I love this song

[@EmilioCrespoOfficial]

Lyrics: It pours over me This unwritten tome of despair From the depths of nothingness, I see you in the distance I feel your presence in every fibre of my being These dreams came to nothing They scatter on the wind With the shadows of our ghosts These fears are all you left me To drown what I have lost So let these waters rise Droplets of rain circle around me My footsteps resounding in my head The lightning cracks and illuminates all It beckons me to follow To reach the source Of that which cannot be uttered Yet impossible to remain silent on Inundated, I stand Broken, I struggle Dead, I wither My body, crumbles into dust These dreams came to nothing They scatter on the wind With the shadows of our ghosts These fears are all you left me To drown what I have lost So let these waters rise Battle the current and swim against the stream One last struggle to convince the tide that we’re worthy One final look at your face will suffice End this senseless tirade of doubt and fear Permit closure and if everything is to be, then let it rain down on us! For it will take over one way or another It’s up to us how we bid each other farewell Let it drench this annihilated land Let it reclaim its rightful place Let it consume all that we are! The ink begins to dry out The chronicle concludes Nothing more left to say I vanish from existence...

Not the type of a person to usually comment on a youtube video or engage in social media, but this is something truly special and I just had to put it out there. Looking forward to seeing whether there are any tours planned once the world stabilizes a bit.

[@evilemuempire9550]

I love the addition of clean female vocals to atmospheric black metal, I find it balances out the song really well

[@buzzmattn6539]

Great to see Sojourner on Napalm. SO deserved. The upcoming album is an instabuy.

I live in Russia, but I fell in love with Scottish highlands at first sight. Scotland and New Zealand has so much in common. I like Saor but Sojourner brought the new spirit to the mountain torrents and loud-pouring floods. Chloe is the most beautiful Celtic Druidess I have ever seen.

2:53 is how metalheads practice responsible social distancing.

[@athenawiltfong5717]

Fucking LOVE the voice. The guitars are out of this world, the drums phenomenal. The lady singing is the PERFECT compliment to the growls. Having just discovered this band (at age 46), I gotta say I'm a fan now. Keep smashing eardrums!!!!!

I was listening to Wolfheart and this was the next video... I guess I have just discovered another amazing band to enjoy listening to!

I would like to say - thank you everyone who has took a part in this song.... It is a Masterpiece ! Special thanks to the man and the female vocals, to the guy on the drums, the guy on the guitar. You guys have show that not only the old and famous bands are able to create good songs, but by your own style you have made this wonderfull song and i must say i just adore it ! Thumb up !

So special thanks to the whole band except the bassist? Lmao. In all seriousness this is such a beautiful song.

[@g0sh3t0]

@@tagunprice9762 have you read what you have written ?

[@thaiduonghe2805]

Know this band from mist of misery. I've not had emotions from listening to black metal for long time, but this one just gave me goosebumps. Really beautiful, wish the vocal was a bit louder than the music. Still, an atmospheric black song (or death blackened you name it) that proves extreme metal can express whole range of emotions, beauty and hope in it, not just anger and depression.

[@aalley9386]

I have never heard of Sojourner before I started listening to this song. Wow, it hit me instantly. So many amazing tunes. Probably of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! So deep and emotional. Thank you!

Trees? Check Mountains? Check Waterfalls? Check Rivers? Check Looks everything like I thought a Sojourner MV would to be honest and I'm glad Great to hear they're still making excellent music under Napalm - was a bit wary after hearing the new Aether Realm song

[@ghostbirdmike]

Thank you! The whole process of writing, recording, art direction, and the music video was completely untouched/not interfered with by the label at all :) Napalm left us completely to do our own thing, so the album was entirely created as the first two were with no other outside input!

[@matthewcowell]

It's definitely one of the worst metal labels for commercial garbage - but there are plenty of highlight bands still under them!
