Equilibrium just posted another brand new track called "Verbrannte Erde" off their upcoming album Rekreatur to the bands official MySpace profile.

Commented mainman, guitarist and songwriter René Berthiaume: "We decided to release "Verbrannte Erde" to show you guys how diverse Rekreatur turned out to be! Each song on the album has its own story and sounds totally different. "Verbrannte Erde" is about the deployment of an army before the first wave of attack, about the unbroken will to win and determination to be victorious despite several previous setbacks. It's one of my current favourite Equilibrium songs!"

Rekreatur will be released on June 18, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Equilibrium have uploaded another new song "Der Ewige Sieg" from the upcoming album Rekreatur witch will be realased on June 18 via Nuclear Blast. Check it out here.

The band will also shoot a video for this song, commented mainman René Berthiaume: "Der ewige Sieg" is about the renewal of nature and mankind at the turn of the year which also is connected to the album title. The video clip for that song will be directed by Florian Puchert. He's an old friend of the band since I composed the music for some of his movies. Now we're turning tables and he does the flick for our music. Other than our last video we won't have that many digital effects in it rather than going for a more organic and realistic look. He and his team have tons of good ideas and we are looking forward to work with him!"

Equilibrium just launched the "Countdown To Recreation": "From now we will post a cool surprise every week until the day of release of Rekreatur on June 18. For a start the album cover art and the tracklist have been posted.

The cover has been designed by Alev who already did the design for Unbesiegt. Furthermore we also uploaded a brand new song. Since the songs on Rekreatur are way more diverse and varied than ever, it wasn't an easy decision which song to post first. We chose "Die Affeninsel" ("The Monkey Island") to begin with."

Andreas Völkl (who wrote the lyrics) shares a bit more info about the song: "Die Affeninsel" is about an adventure in a land far away where three tests must be passed to fullfil a fraternity pledging. It's been inspired by an old pirate tale that some gamers of you might know."

You can check out the new song at MySpace.

Rekreatur cover art] tracklist:

01. In Heiligen Hallen
02. Der Ewige Sieg
03. Verbrannte Erde

Only two weeks after the departure of their previous singer Helge Stang and drummer Manuel di Camillo German pagan metallers Equilibrium have presented their new vocalist. His name is Robse, so far frontman of the pagan metal band Vrankenvorde:

On Myspace the band states:
"The new Equilibrium member goes by the name Robse! We have known him for several years and so it was a very logical decision for us that he will be the new singer of Equilibrium. The recordings are already in progress and with his awesome voice we have completely new possibilities for the new album! The mood in the band is fantastic and we can not wait to get him on the stage!"

Robse himself adds:
"I am proud and grateful to become a part of the Equilibrium family! René had asked me two years ago if I'd like to sing in another project of his. So we already had quite a good connection. But getting the opportunity to sing with his main band is just fantastic! The boys and the girl gave me such a warm welcome, I'm absolutely thrilled by whatever the future may bring!"

In the meanwhile the band had to cancel their appearances at the Mittelalter Rock Festival in Illingen and the Paganfest dates in Stuttgart and Tilburg. The explanation reads as follows:
"We regret that we cannot play at these concerts yet. As you surely have noticed, we also had to take care of a new drummer. Fortunately we have quickly found one. But as he comes from abroad, there are still some problems which do not allow him to enter the country as originally planned. The Paganfest dates in Bochum, Antwerp and Amsterdam however are not affected, we will play those! Thank you for your understanding!"

German pagan metallers Equilibrium have parted ways with vocalist Helge Stang and drummer Manuel Di Camillo. This has been reported by the organizers of Winterfire Festival at which Equilibrium were supposed to perfom next weekend (13th February 2010). So far the band itself has only published the following statement on its official Myspace site:

"We regret to inform you that we have to cancel our appearance at Winterfire Festival due to serious restructuring within the band. We regret this deeply and hope for your understanding. Of course we will inform you as soon as possible about the future of Equilibrium."

UPDATED on 13.02.2010:

By now the band has confirmed the split officially. The statement on the band's Myspace reads as follows:

"Unfortunately we have to tell you that Helge, Manu and Equilibrium go their separate ways for personal reasons. We parted on amicable terms and we wish them all the best for their future. We really had an amazing time with them on stage!
Certainly, this split is not going to impact the music of Equilibrium which means the songs will still be composed by René Berthiaume. At the moment, we are recording our third album at Helion Studios in Munich which will be released in June. And we can already give away that this album will contain plenty of bombast, harshness, epic poetry, emotions, curious musical surprises and much more!
Every announced concert is going to take place! (Except for the Winterfire-Festival) Of course you will be informed instantly, as soon as we've got any news about new Equilibrium band members."
