Equilibrium announce new album ‘Renegades’

EQUILIBRIUM have announced a new album!

Titled Renegades, the upcoming album from the German metallers is their sixth effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year!

The upcoming album was recorded and produced throughout the period of September 2018 until March 2019 by the band and Swedish producer Robin Leijon. It is the first album to feature Skar with his clean vocals and Skadi Rosehurst on synths.

Speaking about the upcoming album, band mastermind René Berthiaume says, “we can’t wait to return with new music after three years! Musically as well as lyrically Renegades has definitely become our most uncompromising and personal album to date. We are especially proud of the introduction of our new members: Skadi has been one of the driving forces behind EQUILIBRIUM for many years now. She has mainly been responsible for artwork, designs, musical and lyrical input and will now support us live on the synths in a few months’ time. Skar, on the other hand, has become a completely new part of the EQUILIBRIUM family. Some of you might already know him from his work on YouTube as SkarProductions. On the current album he gave us outstanding additional (clean) vocals as well as bass tracks – the logical consequence was that he joined us permanently. So there’s a lot going on with us right now. At the same time we want to say a big thank you to Makki who smashed the bass live for us during the past 2.5 years. You rock! We love to develop further; standing still would be our inner death. So you can be curious about what’s coming!”

Renegades is set for release on August 16th via Nuclear Blast Records.
