Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Le troisième album des pagan métalleux allemands d'Equilibrium sortira le 18 juin via Nuclear Blast Records.

P'tit Nico a écrit :J'ai horreur de ce groupe. Pourtant je suis friand de groupes pagan. Mais j'aime bien quand ça sonne un minimum naturel. Là on dirait une parodie synthétique.

German epic metallers EQUILIBRIUM are currently working on the follow-up to their 2010 album, Rekreatur. In few days, the guys will enter the Helion Studios Munich to kick off the recordings with guitar player and producer René Berthiaume.

The band states: “The songs are written, 13 tracks are planned for the album. We can hardly wait to finally release another full-length record after four years! In the past we’ve written a lot, so that the record will be very varying. With some songs we return to our roots, others will be a sonic surprise. Next week Robse will hit the studio to record vocals and to give the songs life. Furthermore there are some other things planned for Equi this year, you can really look forward to!”

The as-yet-untitled album will be released this summer via Nuclear Blast. Updates to follow.
