Sojourner is an atmospheric metal band formed by songwriter Mike Lamb and vocalist Emilio Crespo in 2014 with members from New Zealand, Sweden & Italy.

We released our debut album Empires of Ash in 2016 and our second album The Shadowed Road in 2018 through Avantgarde Music, and then our third full-length album Premonitions in 2020 and the Perennial EP in 2021 through Napalm Records. Now in 2026, after several years of silence, we present our fourth full-length album Gateways through Avantgarde Music and welcome our new permanent co-vocalist Heike Langhans.

We played our debut live show as a full band in 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland and have since played several festival shows alongside a European tour with Draconian & Harakiri for the Sky and a UK tour with Havukruunu in 2019.
