DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT have recently premiered a video clip featuring the song "Letzte Sonne" (Last Sun) taken from their acclaimed latest full-length 'Stellar', which can be viewed at this link:

The band commented: "We deliberately place 'Letzte Sonne' as the final track on 'Stellar' to act as the quintessence of our album's lyrical concept. Based on the metaphor of leaving this place and reaching out to the sun and the stars, 'Letzte Sonne' can be seen as the last resort of finding yourself, freedom, and peace. It was the first track we finished for the album and has been exclusively performed during our joint tour with THE OCEAN back in February 2014, which can be seen in this video. Enjoy!"
'Stellar' has been released on the 23rd of March 2015. The album can still be ordered in various formats including collectors' editions via the Season of Mist shop:

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.
