Equilibrium is a folk metal band from Germany. The band contains various elements of folk and symphonic black metal, combining instruments such as electric guitars, strings and flutes, as well as riffs which reflect traditional Germanic melodies. They are relatively new to the black metal scene but have had a lot of success, especially with their debut album Turis Fratyr and now with their last album Sagas and the recent european tour "Heidenfest".
Their lyrics are about Germanic tales and Germanic mythology in general. All the titles and lyrics are in German.
The group toured with Commander and Sycronomica in 2005.[1]
In 2006, Equilibrium signed with Nuclear Blast.
On June 27, 2008, Equilbrium released the critically acclaimed[citation needed] Sagas.
