DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT are warming up for their December tour in support of MOONSPELL with a headlining show at the Bang Your Head in Esch sur Alzette, Luxembourg this Saturday, November 26th.
Afterwards, the rising German black stars will be joining the Portuguese legends throughout France and Spain as well as for two special shows in London, UK and a last gig at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting, Netherlands in the bleak days of December.
Frontman Nikita Kamprad comments on behalf of DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT: “We are thrilled to kick off our last tour of the year in support of the legendary MOONSPELL in a couple of days. These shows will be the last as regards the ‘Stellar’ album-cycle, before we enter the studio to record our 4th yet untitled full-length early next year. We are looking forward to great shows in Spain, France, UK and the Netherlands and cannot wait to see you all there!”

With this tour, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT are performing the final dates in support of their latest full-length ‘Stellar’ (2015), before entering studio to record a new album. ‘Stellar’ is still available in various formats from the Season of Mist shop: http://smarturl.it/DWEFshop

Black metal remains a musical chimera. From its fiery beginnings this extreme style proved to be as diverse as productive. German sons of this northern spawned darkness often display a penchant for bold aggression and directness as embodied by ENDSTILLE and NEGATOR. These virtues are also embraced by DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT. Yet the Franconians do not simply follow heavily trodden paths. Adding fragile moments of psychedelic meandering, these Germans have also been compared with WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM or DEAFHEAVEN. An extra dose of melancholy points towards their named influence IMPERIUM DEKADENZ and there are far more details to be discovered within the many layers of their harsh but strongly melodic new masterpiece ‘Stellar’. Founded in 2009 by guitarist Nikita Kamprad and vocalist Tobias Jaschinsky, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT immediately gained attention in Germany with their self released debut ‘Der Weg einer Freiheit’ (2009). Limited to 200 copies the full-length quickly sold out and a new and improved version with real drumming was officially published in 2010. Following the EP ‘Agonie’ (2011), their sophomore album ‘Unstille’ (2012) created a strong buzz beyond German borders despite all lyrics being written in their native tongue. Having performed along such diverse acts as WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, NEAERA, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, and WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH prestigious festivals such as Summer Breeze Open Air and Wolfszeit Festival invited the band. In 2014 DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT impressed a Norwegian audience at Blastfest in Bergen to the point that they received immediate offers for further shows. In the meantime main songwriter Nikita Kamprad had taken over vocal duties after co-founding member Tobias had quit. In late autumn, the Germans entered Ghost City Recording studios to work on their third full-length ‘Stellar’, which has hit the world with irresistible force.
