EQUILIBRIUM - Release New Song 'Gnosis'

Following the introduction of new singer Fabian Getto with 2023’s ‘Shelter’ and ‘Cerulean Skies’, EQUILIBRIUM returns with their first new material of 2024. ‘Gnosis’, building on the band's unique blend of modern and folk metal, is released in time for a slew of EU festival appearances over the summer. The band will be supporting SEPTICFLESH on their October-November EU run.

Founding member René Berthiaume states:
"We have worked the whole last year on new songs for Equilibrium and "Gnosis" will be the first one that we gonna share with the world. This year was a challenging but also very satisfying process since we had to go deep to find the ingredients that we truly wanted to use for our next chapter. I think the new songs are the most organic, earth-connected, emotional, and epic tracks we have ever written. "Gnosis" delves into themes of ignorance, suffering, and transformation. The song speaks to the chaos that often accompanies profound change, while also offering a glimmer of hope for new beginnings and enlightenment. The perfect song to initiate our new chapter!"

EQUILIBRIUM - release new single 'Shelter' + welcome new singer Fabiin to their ranks

It's been silent around the EQUILIBRIUM camp for quite some time, but today, the German modern metal virtuosos can finally share the news that fans around the globe have been waiting for: The five-piece releases their new single 'Shelter' today!

“During the last months, we contemplated much on what EQUILIBRIUM means to us – musically and lyrically. And even though there are some important parameters shaping our style, we usually just start writing without questioning the process at all”, states bandleader René. Powerful gutturals, sharp riffs, and a unique blend between modern and folk metal – ‘Shelter’ presents the six-piece as the much-proclaimed phoenix rising from the ashes, ready to shine for the next three decades of EQUILIBRIUM. “We are very motivated and inspired and full of ideas”, closes René. “We want to create music without any compromises and just want to bring the feelings that we had in the studio to the stage. Currently, we’re continuously working on new songs and new shows.”
The song was written and produced by René Berthiaume and Cleo Tiger, mixed by Robin Leijon and René Berthiaume, and mastered by Dom R. Crey at the Splendid Waves Studios.

The song has an important meaning for the band as it doesn’t only herald the beginning of EQUILIBRIUM’s next chapter in their successful career. It also introduces the band’s new singer Fabian Getto as a driving force for the metal veterans’ future. René states about the new singer: „We did an open casting call and Fabian sent in a vocal performance of ‘Renegades’ that caught our attention. There was something special about him and we had to follow this intuition. Right from the first meeting, we had an incredibly good connection and a productive and creative day in the studio. It seems like the person that we were looking for with our public casting call finally found his way to us.”

Watch the new singer in action in the new music video for 'Shelter', directed and produced by Hammer & Tiger Productions, Below.

EQUILIBRIUM - Release New Old School Song "XX"

EQUILIBRIUM is taking us on a journey back to the old school: After recently unveiling a make-over of their debut album hit "Met", the German epic metallers have decided to lead us further down the path, today presenting us with a track that’s been hidden in a bedside drawer for almost 15 years. Buried in dust and old memories, band founder and guitarist René Berthiaume resurrected these fragments of an unfinished track from their early band years and completed the song, before recording it for the very first time with the current band line-up. As a perfect anniversary gift to their fans, the track is titled 'XX' in order to celebrate the band's 20-year existence.

René Berthiaume comments:
"This October turns out to be our Old School October. After our remake of 'Met', we are happy to release a theoretically brand-new track. Just theoretically, because parts of this song are based on pretty old fragments that were created during the era after our first albums. We had a lot of fun picking up those parts and finalizing that song into the version that it is now."

Watch the music video to "XX" below.

EQUILIBRIUM - Unveil Epic Music Video For "Met (20 Years Later)" With Countless Guests

EQUILIBRIUM has come a long way since the release of their debut album Turis Fratyr in 2005 that created a milestone in the epic pagan metal world of the new century.

While their long sold-out sophomore album Sagas will finally be re-released on vinyl on November 12th (only a few copies left to order at https://bfan.link/Equilibrium-Sagas), the band now takes you even further back into their past and invited musicians, friends, tv stars, and YouTubers to join them on this new interpretation of their legendary hit "Met" which has always made fans from across the world raise their glasses to the stage and sing along. With the keyboard, violin, accordion, traverse flute, and many spectacular guest solos, this is definitely a perfect worldwide celebration for the band's 20th anniversary, so watch EQUILIBRIUM and countless celebrities such as members from Saltatio Mortis, Solstafir, Lord Of The Lost, Primordial come together for this uplifting as well as the hilarious version of an evergreen - "Met (20 Years Later)"

Guitarist and founding member René Berthiaume comments:
"I still remember how I did sit in my bedroom in front of the computer, a couple of mead bottles next to me. We wrote this simple first song for our first show but we would have never expected that this would have made such an impact on the underground scene. It was very fun to dig out this track and create a special version with many friends we have met (pun intended) during our journey."

Besides enjoying their favorite mead, EQUILIBRIUM is still busy in the studio with the recording of their upcoming 7th album that is currently scheduled for 2022.
