DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT Announce Sixth Studio Album Innern

More information about Innern


German black metal vanguard DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT return with Innern, a deeply introspective and compositionally expansive new album set for release via Season of Mist on September 12th.

Following 2021’s critically lauded Noktvrn, which explored the liminal space between wakefulness and dreams, Innern turns the gaze inward—towards personal collapse, silence, and transformation. Anchored in a refined synthesis of atmospheric grandeur and visceral aggression, the album balances post-metal restraint with the raw immediacy of black metal’s core.

“Since writing the very first song in 2007, Der Weg einer Freiheit has been a journey defined by passion, intensity, and a deep commitment to exploring the fragile thresholds of the human psyche through music,” says frontman and principal songwriter Nikita Kamprad.

“Over the past years, we’ve grown, evolved, and created something we’re incredibly proud of — and now, we’re excited to share the next step with you. Innern, the new album’s title, means ‘inward’ in German and perfectly captures the essence of this record: a meditation on suffering, transformation, and the intimate process of personal reckoning and renewal.”

Composed and produced entirely by frontman Nikita Kamprad, the record captures a live immediacy while maintaining the band’s characteristic emotional weight. From Kamprad and Nicolas Rausch’s searing guitar interplay to Alan Noruspur’s grounding bass presence and Tobias Schuler’s precision drumming, the album is as much about restraint as it is about release. Traversing isolation, memory, and the fragile thresholds between dissolution and renewal, Innern urges listeners to confront what lies beneath.
