I think I would have liked it more if they didnt sing in German. No offense but its a fucking disgusting language....in the words of the amazing Irish comedian Dylan Moran - "German is a terrible language, it sounds like Typewriters eating tin foil while falling down a staircase"...and hes so right. Again...no disrespect

Nice to know that someone from your country has even heard of Dylan Moran!

But personally I like the sound of German. You say it's a harsh sounding language, but surely that's a positive thing in heavy music! Phonetically, it compliments the roughness and heaviness of Metal.

Id say German is the most pleasant language ive heard!

I like some songs by Equilibrium, but the vocals are very bland and boring. I can only listen to a song a couple of times before im over it because of them. I mean they sound almost identical to Stephen Fiori's (cant remember spelling) out of Graveworm, moreso the same style, not pitch. So it does feel like anything new to me.

My favorite band from germany =) loved their new album Segas.
I think it is an improvment since their first album =).
aspecialy that last "Mana" instrumental masterpieace in the end.

In my opinion, Sagas was the best album of 2008, and is one of my alltime favorites if not THE favorite for me. Unbesiegt and Mana are absoultely incredible

For some reason I still cant come to grips with this album....I love "Turis Fratyr" but this new one just drags on a bit for my liking. Then again, the former also has its moments of "just get on with it!"

Love these guys DUR STURM!!!!!!!!

I just noticed at http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=66784 they claim that the japanese version of Turis Fratyr has a bonus track called Noble Viking Spirit, I've tried searching and found nothing, no sign of it at all.
Anyone know anything about this?

If you compare the song lengths of the Japanese bonus track 気高きヴァイキング魂 and the digipak bonus track Shingo Murata, you'll notice that both are quite likely identical. I haven't found 100% proof, but every site I've looked up seemed to bring the two in some connection. Example: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2891894 mentions 気高きヴァイキング魂 (not Noble Viking Spirit for obvious reasons), Shingo Murata and the number 13 probably referring to the track number.

This is really great band!...definitely one of the best in genre

nah it's the first time when I'm disappionted in you..

Hehe...i just used "best in genre" because i didnt want to think how to mark them exactly...in general it is folk metal, but definitely some subcategory, but i cant tell which one exactly...i only know i like it a lot

I am full of surprises

Now you broke your pose of "no cheesy metal" listener

Is it me or do they use the riff from ZZ Top's La Grange in Snuffel of Sagas, hope I'm not going senile too.

Nope, it's not only you. It's been a while since I've listened to Sagas, but there were several nods to other artists on that album. The only two I recall spontaneously though are ZZ Top in "Snüffel" and Die Apokalyptischen Reiter in "Verrat". Or at least "Verrat" sounds heavily inspired by DAR.

Wingthor's Hammer just played on my shuffle... i arose from my essay slumber (what generally happens when i do essays)... immediately power screaming and headbanging along with the catchy start... i feel intense, the music empowers me!!!!... theeeeeeeennnn comes 0:55 into the song where momentum of this power just........dies in the ASS!!! I mean WTF!!! How could they possibly ruin the fantastic start anymore. The guy is a poor growler who growls strictly on beats with no alteration. So alot of parts sound (beat wise) like: chug chug chug choo choo choo traaaaaaiiiiiiiinnn!!! in a growl voice haha.
Ok ok... ill shutup now.

I think Wingthors Hammer is great song from start to end

New album this year! Check their website for the post they made here:http://www.equilibrium-metal.de/news.php This year will be a massive realases of folk metal albums, like Finntroll, Eluvetie and Equilibrium! I wish they could make a song with english lyrics, it would be intressting.

Awesome! Im excited to here more Equilibrium.

Yay! this would be epic!

That's great news! Sagas is one of my favorite albums, and I can't wait to hear what they come up with next!
