Equilibrium formed in the
early two thousands in Germany, growing from an underground folk metal act into
one of the most recognizable names in the European scene. Over the years they
blended epic melodies with mythic themes and electronic touches, creating a
style instantly tied to their identity. "Equinox" arrives in a period
of big changes for the band, especially with the arrival of new vocalist Fabian Getto, who steps into the spotlight as they
open a fresh chapter. The themes of balance and renewal fit naturally into
their history, matching the title and the story they want to tell.
"Equinox"
takes the familiar grand atmosphere of Equilibrium and
pushes it into a brighter production, with modern electronics mixing with their
folk roots in a straightforward way. The melodies are strong and the pacing
firm, giving the album a solid presence. Tracks like "Earth Tongue,"
"Gnosis" and "Bloodwood" carry a vigorous energy, while
"Nexus" and "I'll Be Thunder" show the band leaning into
bigger choruses and a more theatrical vocal style from Getto,
who sounds confident stepping into the role. The album is unified, built on big
hooks and the kind of sweeping sound Equilibrium fans
look for.
Overall
"Equinox" presents Equilibrium in
good form, refreshed, louder and more focused. It sticks to strong melodies,
memorable refrains and a sense of renewal that works well for a band entering a
new era. The themes of transition and empowerment match the musical approach,
making the album both suitable for long time followers and friendly to
listeners who might be meeting Equilibrium for
the first time.
Score: 8.3
