"Der Weg Einer Freiheit" means something like "The path of a freedom" or "The way of a freedom". "Aufbruch" means "Departure". Loved your reaction. Cheers from Germany. :)
I think, if you turn it into English grammar from there, the "a" is redundant and we would not say it. It is probably just "The path of freedom" this would sound better in English....
@@richardctaylor79 actually not. It's kinda like that in German as well. You would assume, it should be "Der Weg der Freiheit" (the way of freedom) here as well, but is specifically the way of A freedom. Maybe this is because the definition and the feeling of freedom mean something else to everyone and is something really personal. And this is the way of this specific freedom. Nevertheless it is some kind of philosophical question.
I know I commented before lol... But I take and share that video a lot to people that aren't into BM and let em see your reaction just to make em clear it's not just noise! Its emotion you get even you can't understand the lyrics 🖤
Was so great to see your reaction from someone who knows this song very well. I knew the singing part will hit hard. Love the hole song and DWEF. If you want listen to their album stellar. For me their most emotional work.
Bro... I had tears watching you and how feels cached you just from the music itself!! DWEF is on point and can transponed feels in music so well! If you'd have understood the lyrics as well, you'd go bonkers! That's what happens to me most of the time! So much feels and all in there and just 😭🖤
Funny thing is: I watched your video for the 4th time now, over the course of a year. I always come back to it because you seem to be a very nice guy and exactly mirror my feelings whenever I'm listening to DWEF. Also - thx to you, I found Wiegedood. Cheers man, hope you are doing okay.
Wow... Der Weg is one of my favorite bands. And Aufbruch give me chills everytime I listen to it. They're awesome. Also, I recommend you Wolves in the throne room-I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots (18 minutes long, but it's gold) and a fusion of atmospheric Black metal and scotish folk Saor-Forgotten Paths (For example, he has very good songs). Enjoy it, they're awesome
Els vas veure en directe a Barcelona? Jo hi vaig estar amb dos amics. És increïble sentir-los en directe, molt poques bandes sonen així, però esque DWEF són brutals. Wolves In The Throne Room vindràn a actuar també a l'Octubre del 2022.
Great honest reaction! I really like your style of reviewing pieces of music, gained a sub there x) I remember seeing this band for the first time, didn't know about them before and i instantly fell in love with their music and how tight zhey are live. When they played this song, i closed my eyes and got completely carried away by the music. I entered some kinda trance, to the point i didn't remember where i was when i opened my eyes again. This compared to nothing i experienced before, or ever since then
Glad you like the music and video. The video wan't exactly recorded in Berlin in was recorded throughout a European Tour. But the audio is from the Berlin gig of the run.
When I listened to one of their newest songs called "Monument" I also got emotional and my eyes filled up with tears. You should check it out. The part where the song explodes is what gets me, don't know why.
Awesome...would love to see a Reaction Video of an Amenra Concert...they are so awesome and disturbing in a beautiful way. For me the concerts are always a spiritual journey. Sounds cheesy, but that’s the way it is :D
Sup Luke how u doing mate? 🖐️ This band's one of the best post black metals out there and This song was awesome, I'm waiting for more 😍 (Karg, heretoir &...) (Please do progressive/technical death metal as well) Rock on man 🤘❤️
I was there in Berlin! What a blast! You had to check out the band witch played before DWEF. They Call themselves "Regarde Le hommes tomber" Some really awesome Black Metal from france!
this band shares members with a technical death metal band called Fuck You and Die.. check them out too! best songs by them are "Security Through Obscurity" and "Roar, Allay, and Alter". 🤘
Great review Luke Love em , will have to dive deeper into this band , Germany puts out a few choice bands , Flammenaar's debut album was played by me for months and months straight This band comes across to me as Technical Black pagan folk melodic Metal , The pagan and folk really come out in the lyrics someone else posted in the comments, thanks man. The song captivates al the good things that resonate with human emotions and feelings, Great light show too, A beatblast lightning stike show Bring on the end of this covid shit and cheers to the return of many more Metal live shows \m/ Cheers to Newcastle Australia ♠️
THANKS TO NARGAROTH N NEGATOR FORMS THIS KIND OF TEMPO BUT THIS BAND D.W.E.F BRING MORE ELABORATE NEO GRIM BLAST ALIVES! 3RD TO 4TH WAVES OF BLACK METAL STRIKES!!
A request I would like to put forward is Aesthetic Perfection with any of the following songs: Gods and Gold (with Richard Z Kruspe) S E X/Gravity/Automaton (with Sebastian Svalland) Party Monster (with Jinxx)
if you liked this, then you'll love the whole record honestly. and if you like that you should check out Downfall of Gaia. Another german black metal band that dabbles in post metal with stunning effect. ua-cam.com/video/4b-h0ORBV64/v-deo.html - particularly "the grotesque illusion of being"
EXACT same reaction at the exact same time as you man, it’s a beautiful thing ain’t it? There is a lot of BM that hits me like that, more than I care to admit.
If you like Der Weg Einer Freiheit then you should give danish band Sunken a listen their new album "Livslede" is a masterpiece ua-cam.com/video/iXVhNj38YT0/v-deo.html .. Great video btw and cheers from Denmark

No album made me cry like Finisterre. Especially as a german the lyrics hit you hard.
I wish I understood German cause I feel like even when you translate them to English there are things that are bound to be lost in translation.
The german language permitted you to play with words like (in my understanding) no other language...
That is what it makes hard to translate it 1:1
Same
Weise Worte!
Fuck yes. Der Weg einer Freiheit needs to be seen by more. They are amazing.

Anyway, here goes:
A foghorn is blowing through the thick (fog)
It wants to see me, it screams for me
wander off with the dead...
wander off with the dead...
So I journey into the wall of light
and the sound turns dense
so I shall prepare for battle
wander off with the dead...
wander off with the dead...
Restless I wander, asking myself
is it a curse or a blessing
The wind accompanies my duty
it strengthens (/has) my back, whips into my face
it laughs with me and shares my tears
but it knows nothing of the war...
The green swaps it's color for gray
The trees are showing their bare bones (frame/skeleton)
The warmth fades and it gets cold
the world shrouded into cerecloth
In the thin forest off the path, eyes are glowing
wolves are howling, transfixing me
they're staring at me, I have to follow them
but they know nothing of the war...
(again)
The green swaps it's color for gray
The trees are showing their bare bones
The warmth fades and it gets cold
Are you coming to get me?
you've trapped too many souls already...
are you coming to get me?
you've trapped too many souls already...
but you won't get mine!
Far away from this world, I'll rest
until the screams fall silent
(and the) life blossoms
and blossoms
and blossoms..

@@crimsondeath666 I've always assumed (not sure if correctly) that the "a freedom" refers to death as liberation. You know, DSBM vibes and all
"The path of a freedom", it reminds me eren yeager from attack on titan
"einer" is the genitive case, so a more correct translation would be "The path of one's freedom" in my opinion
First off, this band is fucking perfect. Second, MAJOR props to the sound guys at that show, amazing sound!
I know I commented before lol... But I take and share that video a lot to people that aren't into BM and let em see your reaction just to make em clear it's not just noise! Its emotion you get even you can't understand the lyrics 🖤
Wow. This is incredible. Thank you so much Tobias.
Even after listening to this song for at least 100 times the goosbumps hit me with tears in my eyes. They just hit the right spot in me.
Was so great to see your reaction from someone who knows this song very well. I knew the singing part will hit hard. Love the hole song and DWEF. If you want listen to their album stellar. For me their most emotional work.

song is so amazing it doesnt feel like 10 minutes
Best melodic black metal ever...
Oh man, I reacted exactly the same as this when I was first shown it by Ryan.
Trust Ryan to be all over this band. It’s no secret I have a massive crush on him.
Super melancholic but melodic at the same time. Black metal like this really hits deep like no other music can.
That was exactly my reaction when I first listened to them. I still sometimes cry when I listen to them
Here to boost DWEF in the algorithm, thanks for showing them love, maniacally underrated and unknown band
It is so gratifying to see someone else to appreciate this music as much as I do
amazing reaction video. Your sincerity touched me
Vocal and drummer 🔥
Great honest reaction! I really like your style of reviewing pieces of music, gained a sub there x)

This compared to nothing i experienced before, or ever since then
I’m really hoping they tour North America this year or next year. I need to hear this live. Great reaction bud 🤟🏽
God how I'd love to be listen blinded to this band like before.
Glad you like the music and video. The video wan't exactly recorded in Berlin in was recorded throughout a European Tour. But the audio is from the Berlin gig of the run.
I'm a simple man. I see a dude reacting to good black metal and that also plays dungeons & dragons, I hit the like button and subscribe. Cheers!
I really really love the Drums on this one
When I listened to one of their newest songs called "Monument" I also got emotional and my eyes filled up with tears. You should check it out. The part where the song explodes is what gets me, don't know why.
transitions are solid
Awesome...would love to see a Reaction Video of an Amenra Concert...they are so awesome and disturbing in a beautiful way. For me the concerts are always a spiritual journey. Sounds cheesy, but that’s the way it is :D
