I suppose it's a German death metaphor?

No it's not. The main songwriter was asked several times about the band name in interviews (it's not a common saying or anything like that). He said it's about the band being his "way" to make and release music and that'sa kind of freedom to him.

Actually the first album was intended to a one shot, so "Der Weg Einer Freiheit" was the name of the whole project instead of being a band name.

Not German, but pretty sure it can be interpreted as 'the way to some freedom'

Not really tbh. You could translate it with "the way of a freedom" or "the way of one freedom". In a broader sense you could be right though.

I don't think there went too much thought into the band name tbh. haha

I'm pretty sure it's archaic German so the translation shouldn't be literal, right?

Archaic? No man, it's pretty modern. There isn't much old fashioned about it, you know? It doesn't have to be literal, that's right, but I see no point in that here

How is 'pretty sure' an argument? It annoys me greatly that you are confusing this on a basis of being pretty sure.

I mean the band is German itself, I really doubt they just winged their bandname. Elfsgedroch uses archaic Dutch to the same effect while being technically grammatically modern, which is my point.

I am so very sorry for upsetting you Egarran, I'll be sure to keep the more emotionally unbalanced Sput users in mind before making my points :')
