Today they’ve also released firey new single ‘**I’ll Be Thunder**‘ accompanied by a raw, earthy performance video. ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/30803/image002-1.jpg) **Equilibrium** commented: *“‘I’ll Be Thunder’ is a very impulsive song that shows the experimental and uncompromising side of Equilibrium. Therefore we tried to emphasise this with a unique, archaic performance video. The whole visual concept, set design and costumes have been hand crafted by Jessica Rösch again. I love this song, because while the notes of it came intuitively to my mind, the lyrics are about self-empowerment, breaking free from limitations, and embracing one’s true strength and authenticity.* *It is also the perfect moment to announce our upcoming album “Equinox”, which is all about authenticity, reconnection with and rediscovering our own art. It took a long time to go through this process since a lot has happened throughout the last few years in the history of Equilibrium. It represents the bright and dark side of our music and we can’t wait to share the whole thing with the world and enlighten this new chapter. The album contains all the cinematic, folky, harsh and soft elements an Equilibrium album should have.”* Pre-order Equinox here: **[https://equilibrium.bfan.link/equinox](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=8f35bf37c9&e=8eb7da516a)** Stream ‘**I’ll Be Thunder**‘ here: **[https://equilibrium.bfan.link/illbethunder](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=f3cf1f534e&e=8eb7da516a)** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/30805/image004.jpg) **EQUINOX tracklisting:** 01.

Chaos, division and destruction hang heavy in the air. But music has long been humanity’s most vital defense against the turbulent tides of time. A band whose very name is a plea for balance and unity, **Equilibrium** have been making life-affirming music for nearly 25 years, and as they return after a lengthy hiatus, the German legends are more committed than ever to spreading some positivity and hope to the masses. As they prepare to release their seventh and greatest album to date, the mighty ***Equinox***, creative mainstays **René Berthiaume**and **Jessica Rösch** stand proudly at the forefront of modern metal, ushering in an inspirational new era. With a brand new singer,**Fabian Getto**, leading the charge, ***Equinox ***is this band’s most distinctive and powerful statement to date. ***Equinox*** showcases a band in full control of their sonic and spiritual world, with songs that bring their cherished trademarks and authentic instrumentation together with new technology, electronic elements and giant, stirring melodies that rip from the speakers like proclamations from ancient gods. From the joyous rush of recent singles ‘**Gnosis**‘ and the melo-death inspired ‘**Bloodwood**‘, to the effortless, cross-pollinated mastery of ‘**Earth Tongue**‘, ‘**Legends**‘ and the show-stopping ‘**Nexus**‘, **Equilibrium **have never sounded more potent or passionate. ***Equinox ***was recorded and produced by **Equilibrium** themselves, with some significant help from an assortment of guest musicians – including **ex-Eluveitie** violinist **Shir-Ran Yinon** and members of Dutch Viking metal band **Heidevolk** – and particularly from studio guru and multi-instrumentalist **Danny McCook**, who oversaw the album’s mixing process. Inspired by their experiences with other creatives, **Equilibrium** have also made the decision to embrace authenticity in every aspect of their art. ***Equinox*** is adorned with artwork created by **Jessica Rösch** with her own hands and without any input from A.I. or any other technology. The end result is stunning and speaks volumes about this band’s desire to keep things real. In turbulent times, real art keeps us all grounded in the things that really matter. ***Equinox*** is a statement of intent from a band reborn. **Equilibrium** have made great music in the past, but never with this much fire and focus. Brimming with smart ideas, anthemic melodies and crushing, state-of-the-art modern metal with an organic, folk-fuelled twist, it kicks open this new chapter in the band’s story with an exhilarating, heartfelt flourish. **Follow EQUILIBRIUM:** **[Website](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=f6f2a0370b&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[Facebook](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=257d30d9bb&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[Instagram](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=613be92081&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[TikTok](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=a7c421541e&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[Youtube](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=1d1e2a490c&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[Spotify](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=cc4b0880d3&e=8eb7da516a)**** | ****[Apple Music](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=5402758932&e=8eb7da516a)** ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/30807/image003-1.png)
