DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT Release Drum Playthrough of “Eos”

German black metal collective DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT reveal a drum playthrough for “Eos”, the devastating lead single from their new studio album Innern, to be released via Season of Mist on September 12. Captured in a single take, the video showcases drummer Tobias Schuler’s intricate and commanding performance—seamlessly navigating the track’s wide dynamic range, from tribal rhythmic meditations to relentless blast-beat-driven climaxes.

Tobias Schuler delivers a precise and emotionally charged performance, underscoring the track’s shifting rhythmic landscapes with mechanical accuracy and expressive nuance. His setup includes a TAMA Star Maple drumkit featuring a full spread of toms (8″, 10″, 12″, and 16″), dual 22″ kick drums, and a 14″ S.L.P. Sonic Stainless Steel snare, all outfitted with Evans drumheads. His cymbal array, provided by Meinl, spans a broad tonal palette: from the biting attack of the MB20 Heavy Soundwave Hi-Hats and 18″ Heavy China to the shimmering wash of Byzance Brilliant Medium Thin Crashes. A 22″ Heavy Bell Ride anchors the set with weight and definition.

“Preparing for the studio was quite a journey! After NOKTVRN, we knew we wanted to record INNERN in full takes again.” Tobias notes. “I really loved the prewritten drum parts from the demo, composed by Nikita, so over the course of more than one and a half years, I learned them note by note using sheet music. During that process, I carefully adjusted a few details here and there to bring Nikita’s vision together with my own musical identity.”

“A quick note on perfectionism in music: I’m super proud to share my personal musical voice — with all its flaws and all its beauty — and I hope you enjoy it, too! Making music is about so much more than just playing without mistakes!”
