Der Weg

About

“Am I on a journey with no destination or return? That’s it? Just a mere vision of madness? Consumed by just two thoughts; two giants with boundless rage and unbridled power beating at the gray mass which once was home to something one could call character. Hopelessness and self-destruction, and with them alcohol and soon other drug abuse, take hold. At least they promise to free me from the all-enveloping loneliness. That’s the way I’ve taken.”

“Der Weg” (engl. “The Way”) challenges listeners with an inevitable confrontation of themselves while breaking all boundaries of conventional music. Exceeding the three-hour mark in its entirety, “Der Weg” uses low tuned instruments/guitars to take listeners on a journey into the deepest and darkest corners of the self. The beats and riffs create a world which makes listeners feel the viscous tar that life can be. A world of rapid blasts providing them with adrenaline rushes. And a world with almost peaceful-seeming fields of harmonium and synths; taking the listeners on an almost spiritual journey.
