German epic metal pioneers, EQUILIBRIUM, will set aflame a brand new bonfire this summer with their fifth studio album. Guitarist, composer and lyricist René Berthiaume spent almost two years working on this new opus called »Armageddon«. The result is rather dark, while retaining the bombast and folk elements of the previous records.
Today, the band has released the first track-by-track trailer of that upcoming album.
Let Rene give you further information on the idea behind these songs:
01. Sehnsucht
02. Erwachen
03. Katharsis
04. Heimat
05. Born To Be Epic

“The songs on “Armageddon” have become quite diverse. Every song sounds different.
