Equilibrium is a folk metal band from Germany, who was only suppose to play one show but after their amazing performance, decided to stick together, and so the band was formed in 2001. [IMG]http://www.metaleater.com/images/interviews/equilibrium2008.jpg[/IMG] In 2001, a band was formed in Bavaria, Germany. First, only for one gig, but after the audience was left stunned and begging, the band decided to continue. They chose the name EQUILIBRIUM and released a Demo in 2003. This Demo not only sold like hell but also brought the band a deal with Black Attakk. The collabaration resulted in the amazing debut album "Turis Fratyr", combining Folk Metal with a blend of Pagan and Black Metal. After the release of the album and the good response of fans and the media likewise, the band played several tours and festival gigs (Summer Breeze, Wacken), establishing a huge fanbase all around europe – even though all of the lyrics were in German! Not satisfied with the work of its old record company, the band signed a contract with Nuclear Blast Records in order to reach the next level. With their newest effort "Sagas" this shouldn..t be an unreachable aim. The music and production has evolved – only hits, no fillers at all. The style still varies more between happiness and sorrow, heavy and soft, melodic and grim. For this record, the band decided to only use German lyrics on the new Album, which gives EQUILIBRIUM uniqueness in the Folk/Pagan Metal scene! "Sagas" will be released with a superb Bonus DVD with approx. 70 minutes of running time, featuring EQUILIBRIUM on and off stage. A worthy package for every fan! If you haven..t heard "Turis Fratyr" or "Sagas" yet: Prepare to experience some of the most intense and stand-alone Metal music you..ve heard in years! Sadly - Unfortunately we have to tell you that Helge, Manu and Equilibrium go their separate ways for personal reasons. We parted on amicable terms and we wish them all the best for their future. We really had an amazing time with them on stage! Certainly, this split is not going to impact the music of Equilibrium which means the songs will still be composed by René Berthiaume. At the moment, we are recording our third album at Helion Studios in Munich which will be released in June. And we can already give away that this album will contain plenty of bombast, harshness, epic poetry, emotions, curious musical surprises and much more! Every announced concert is going to take place! (Except for the Winterfire-Festival) Of course you will be informed instantly, as soon as we’ve got any news about new Equilibrium band members.

Bad ass band.
Very bad ass band, but I have no idea what there new singer sounds like, hopefully it'll be at least like a Jari/Petri switch.
I hope the drummer is as good too.
Wow until you said that, i never payed attention to any of the drumming in the songs, just the amazing guitar play and singing, I feel so ignorant now D: . Yeah, now I hope hes good too.
Fucking love this band. Was a fan back when nobody knew who they were and they only had the one demo. The singer was nice enough to respond to my emails back then.

You get to hear a tiny bit of the new singer's voice. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa9dQyucVuA[/media]
Wow, I really hope there's a lot more to his singing than that. Then again like you said its just a tiny bit, but still. [QUOTE=Eluveitie;20812104]Just because we sit down, doesn't mean we aren't awesome :v:[/QUOTE] Thank you kind sir for the re motivation.
