Der Weg Einer Freiheit unveil introspective new album “Innern” – announce European tour

German black metal visionaries Der Weg Einer Freiheit are set to release their sixth studio album, “Innern”, on September 12th via Season of Mist. The new record marks a bold, inward-facing evolution of the band’s sound, pushing deeper into themes of self-reflection, transformation, and emotional collapse.

While 2021’s “Noktvrn” explored the liminal space between dreams and wakefulness, “Innern” — which means “inward” in German — turns its focus toward the internal struggles of the human psyche. The album blends the atmospheric grandeur of post-metal with the raw aggression of black metal, striking a balance between restraint and catharsis.

Frontman Nikita Kamprad, who composed and produced the entire album, described the band’s creative journey as one rooted in passion and psychological exploration. According to him, “Innern” represents a culmination of their growth — both musically and personally — and serves as a meditation on suffering, renewal, and the deeply personal process of confronting one’s own inner world.

The album captures a powerful live feel while retaining the band’s signature emotional depth. Kamprad and guitarist Nicolas Rausch deliver sharp, expressive interplay, anchored by Alan Noruspur’s steady bass lines and Tobias Schuler’s precise drumming. From start to finish, “Innern” dives into themes of isolation, memory, and the thin line between breakdown and rebirth.

To bring “Innern” to the stage, Der Weg Einer Freiheit will embark on a headlining European tour beginning September 18th in Dresden and concluding October 4th in Bochum. The 17-date run includes stops in cities like Prague, Vienna, Paris, Zurich, and Tilburg. The tour’s final performance will take place at Christuskirche in Bochum — a venue known for its stark acoustics and reflective atmosphere — offering a fitting close to the album’s emotionally charged themes.
