Since their formation in 2009, Der Weg einer Freiheit have carved out a singular place in modern black metal. While rooted in the genre’s foundations, the band are constantly evolving. Their latest critically-acclaimed album once again pushes boundaries. Only this time, they’ve turned inward, gazing upon humanity’s fragile nature with devastating clarity.
“[Innern] flexes the cooperative bond between Der Weg einer Freiheit members and asserts the whole above the individual parts”, writes Treble.
Today, Der Weg einer Freiheit are releasing a new live video from their recent headlining tour of Europe. Recorded at the Christuskirche Bochum church in Germany during the final night of the tour, this performance of “Xibalba” captures the band at their most transformative, wrestling with fear until it resembles something closer to understanding.
Watch Der Weg einer Freiheit perform “Xibalba” live at Christuskirche Bochum on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.
"Innern" is out now on Season of Mist.

“Xibalba” unfolds as a descent into the architecture of fear. The song moves from quiet birth to violent bloom and eventual dissolution. Vocalist and guitarist Nikita Kamprad leads his bandmates Tobias Schuler (drums), Alan Noruspur (guitar) and Vincent Padrutt (bass) through a climatic surge of catharsis before arriving in a suspended state of meditative stillness.
