Mike Lamb (Sojourner) and Heike Langhans (ex-Draconian, :LOR3L3I:, Sojourner) are back with their personal gothic/doom project, Remina. The duo’s sophomore album, »The Silver Sea«, will follow their 2022 debut »Strata« and will be released on October 24th 2025 on CD and digital, once again via Avantgarde Music. Here follows the band’s statement:

“»The Silver Sea« was written over the three year period following the release of our debut album »Strata«, and it is the product of the changes we experienced as both a band and on a personal level.

Remina took to the stage for the first time in 2023, and through this process we got to spend a lot of time in beautiful northern Italy bringing to life live versions of our songs with our excellent live lineup. The process of seeing how our sound translated to a live setting ultimately impacted how we approached this album. We didn’t want to deviate from our vision for the band or the sound, but we did incorporate a much more musically ‘direct’ approach in the way the songs were written this time around. This was helped massively by the excellent drum tracking of Shayne Roos, who lifted our original ideas to an entirely new level. We are also honored to be joined by guest vocal spots from two musicians we greatly look up to, Mick Moss of Antimatter (»Algol«) and Tony Dunn of Sgàile (»Vanta Ray«).

On a personal level, we were dealing with the decision of having to uproot our lives in Europe and move back to New Zealand to be closer to family. The weight of the decision to move across the world, so far from the lives we had built, was reflected in the overarching themes and atmosphere of the album. While each song deals with its own subject matter, there is an overarching story running throughout as an invisible thread tying the album together.”
