This is a first-class production. Hidden melodies. Good synths.
Favorite track: Marter.

Unfassbar geiles Album. Keine Ahnung wie die Jungs es schaffen, sich jedes Mal selbst zu übertreffen. Hier gibt es wieder anspruchsvollen Black Metal der seinesgleichen sucht. Lückenfüller sucht man hier vergebens. Innern ist, wie auch schon die Vorgängeralben, reine Perfektion!

Vergessen, wer ich war
Wurd ich wahrhaftig geboren in diese Welt
oder war ich doch schon immer da
Der Tod ist nur ein Neubeginn und fängt mich auf
Wenn mein Geist und Fleisch wieder nach den Sternen blickt,
scheint alles noch ein wenig mehr egal zu sein
Oder werde ich, werde ich getäuscht
Nimm sie alle, meine Schreie, jedes noch so kleine Wort
Ich sehne mich nach der Sternenflut
Du tust mir weh, du tust mir gut
Lass sie versinken, sie verklingen, sie ertrinken tief im Licht
Ich brauch sie nicht, ich brauch sie nicht
Doch, doch ein Mal wieder, ein Mal zu viel
das stille Marterlied ertrinkt in mir
Was auf taube Ohren stößt, bleibt immer stumm und immer ungesagt
Höre mich, hör mich an
Meine Kehle brennt alles, alles, alles nieder
Eure Rücken gemalt von jedem Wort
Jedes Wort zerfällt zu Asche
Sei dies, sei dies mein letztes Lied
Nimm sie alle, meine Schreie, jedes noch so kleine Wort
Ich sehne mich nach der Sternenflut
Du tust mir weh, du tust mir gut
Lass sie versinken, sie verklingen, sie ertrinken tief im Licht
Ich brauch sie nicht, ich brauch sie nicht

Lautlos wurd es im Innern der Menschen
Die Angst, sie frisst die Seele auf
Zeugin nur die Sternenmutter, die alles gebar,
auch mich, auch dich, uns alle
Oh Helia, du gabst mir Geist, du gabst mir meine Kraft
Ich wünschte mir, es wäre sonnenklar,
dass ohne dich mit all der Angst, all dem Dunkel in uns
die Welt dem Ende nah
Oh Helia, es tut mir Leid,
das Licht, das deinem Schoß so hell entsprang,
ich trag es nicht mehr in mir, Helia
Dein Licht, ich trag es nicht mehr in meiner Brust
Oh Mensch, kehre um, halt ein,
mache Herz und Seele klar und rein
Der kleine Rest, der uns noch am Leben hält,
ist nicht viel, doch alles, alles, alles
ist alles, was uns bleibt

Nur einen Wunsch trag ich mit mir in diese Gruft,
den Keim des Lebens
Schwere, rote Erde erdrückt das Reich, verdunkelt vor der Sonne
Doch die Kraft der Sterne erweckt ein schlafendes Geflecht,
das sich durch die Feuchte kämpft, aus Rot wird Grün
Die Erde tanzt
Aus tausend Körpern keimt,
was so lang verborgen blieb, ist wieder frei
Steig hinab von deinem Thron,
die Erde wird dich hol'n,
sie gibt dir deinen Lohn

In einsamer Stund, da Stille ist, wenn um mich nichts,
auch Du nicht bist, da halt ich ein, besinne mich
Noch, noch bin ich fern von jedem Ziel, doch erkenn ich viel
Hier fehlt ein Teil, fehlt ein Teil von mir
Drum such ich die Stille, aus ihr allein mahnt mich die Stimme,
die rein, die wahr, die formt mich Tag um Tag,
gibt mir Sicht auf das, was fehlt
Das Teil bin ich

Please don't let me know if anybody's hurt
'cause I don't wanna know if anybody's hurt
So please don't let me know if anybody's hurt
'cause I don't wanna know if anybody's hurt
Please don't let me know
If anybody's hurt, please don't let me know
if anybody's hurt, I don't wanna know
For I don't want to bear the weight
of knowing hearts in these fragile states
So spare me the truth and let it all go
in silence where the shadows glow
No need to tell, no need to show
'cause it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
Please don’t let me go, I won’t let you be alone
Let everybody know that we can make it home
Please don’t let me go, I won’t let you be alone
Let everybody know that we can make it home

about
Since forming in 2009, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT has carved out a singular place in modern black metal, blending relentless intensity with a philosophical core. Rooted in the genre’s foundations yet constantly evolving, the German quartet is known for its emotional depth, compositional complexity, and striking live presence.
On their sixth album Innern, the band turns inward with devastating clarity. Each of the six tracks offers a meditation on human fragility and existential transformation, shifting between blistering aggression and haunting serenity. “Marter” explores shared suffering as a path to transcendence; “Eos” imagines nature reclaiming a blood-soaked earth; and “Forlorn” becomes an intimate plea for emotional refuge, sung in English to underscore its universality. The interplay between soaring guitars, pulsing bass, and intricate percussion frames Nikita Kamprad’s visceral vocal performance with precision and raw urgency. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Kamprad himself, the album captures both immediacy and atmosphere—placing the listener in direct confrontation with the void.

supported by 23 fans who also own “Innern”
Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic. This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10
