The track is the third single released from their new studio album, ***Equinox***, due out on **November 28th.** **Equilibrium** have unveiled an earthly, sylvan video for ‘**Borrowed Waters**‘ also featuring **Roniit**, who bares her soul, in step with ancient tides. ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/32118/image002-12.jpg) **René Berthiaume** commented: *“This is the first original song of Equilibrium that has not been mostly written by me. I am very picky when it comes to the music, but when Jessy showed me the first demo, I immediately resonated with it. It is a very beautiful and fullfilling process to let other people dive into your project and be part of it. Also the collaboration with Roniit felt very natural. For me authenticity in art is super important and you can hear this also in her voice and see this in her video performance that she created for the song.”* **Jessica Rösch** commented: *“‘Borrowed Waters’ is a song about surrender. About learning to move and flow with life and with the natural world we’ve all forgotten about a little bit. It speaks of cycles, of old memory and of a language older than us. Of what it means to belong to something much larger than yourself, larger than life itself. The song was born out of a time when everything felt a kinda uncertain. It’s also the first song I’ve ever written that isn’t for my own music project and the first one I don’t sing myself on, which made the process feel incredibly intimate in a completely new way. Hearing someone else carry my words and melodies was so so deeply moving Roniit captured the spirit and soul of ‘Borrowed Waters’ in the most profound way and I feel endlessly grateful for her. It’s an incredible honour to have this song on the album. Working with René on music feels like we speak a language only we understand, even without words. Our writing styles are very different, yet somehow they fit together perfectly.”* **Roniit **commented: *“I grew up listening to pagan and symphonic metal, and it’s a huge influence on my witchy dark-pop sound. Collaborating with Equilibrium felt like a full circle moment, returning to my metal roots while bringing my own magic into it. Above all, the message of Borrowed Waters really spoke to me. As someone who lives in the forest and practices magic, I see how we are part of nature, not separate from it. The modern world has pulled us further and further away, but this song is a reminder that we still belong to the earth, and that message feels important to share.”* Pre-order Equinox here: **[https://equilibrium.bfan.link/equinox](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=d9ed4b0e6f&e=8eb7da516a)** Stream ‘**Borrowed Waters**‘ here: **[https://equilibrium.bfan.link/borrowed-waters](https://nuclearblast.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f52be22febdeb73950b267672&id=75c085fbf7&e=8eb7da516a)** ***Equinox*** will be available in the following formats: - CD Jewelcase - Vinyl – clear with brown marbled colour ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/32112/image004-5.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.
