Recorded just after the completion of More und Totschlag, this track explores a Stefan George poem along with samples from Arnold Schoenberg's work String Quartet No. 2 featuring George's writings. This is added to the Digital version of Decollate as a bonus track.
lyrics
In Wintry Haze
V.
In wintry haze
The freezing tree
Looms bare and high,
In silence raise
Your dream to him
As you go by.
His rms are spread -
More often fling
Him thanks that he
When all is sad
And cold and dim
Can hope for spring.
Kahl reckt der baum
Im winterdunst
Sein frierend leben ·
Lass deinen traum
Auf stiller reise
Vor ihm sich heben!
Er dehnt die arme –
Bedenk ihn oft
Mit dieser gunst
Dass er im harme
Dass er im eise
Noch frühling hofft!

"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."

This is one of the most impressive bands I’ve ever listened. Everything in this album is perfect. It’s raw, melodious, incredibly dark and cold. This has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Hails ! dono_

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
