The world is spinning faster these days. 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.

It was a great pleasure to have René Berthiaume on the Interview to speak on the new album Equinox which is to be out on November 28, Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube video.
