EQUILIBRIUM have announced a brand new album!

Titled Equinox, the upcoming album from the German cinematic folk metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Renegades, and is scheduled to be released on November 28th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Alongside the announcement, the band have released a fiery new single, I’ll Be Thunder, accompanied by a raw, earthy performance video. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Bloodwood and Gnosis.

Speaking about the new song and album, the band shares, “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.”
