Given that the new album is still a year away, Equilibrium have decided to release their first ever EP to given an idea of what they have been working on. Produced by guitarist René Berthiaume in Helion Studios and mixed and mastered by the Resetti Brothers ‘Waldschrein’ includes the brand-new title track, an acoustic version of the same song, a re-recorded and extended version of “Der Sturm” from ‘Turis Fratyr’ (originally sung by ex-vocalist Helge Stange, now by front man Robse Dahn), a previously unreleased song “Zwergenhammer” as well as a cover version of Skyrim’ opening theme. The result is something that has certainly got me itching for the full album as this is just wonderful as it blends metal with symphonic and folk to create something that is vibrant, fun, complex, layered, simple and extremely powerful indeed. Hearing music as exciting and vibrant as this makes all of the hours I spend listening to ‘new’ bands (to me, these guys have already released three albums) more than worthwhile. This is great stuff.
