From day one EQUILIBRIUM has been known for melodic metal, powerful yet playful, heavy yet sensitive, inspired yet self-contained. But most of all EQUILIBRIUM is known for the joy of creating and playing music!
The process from a 1-concert-only project to a real band took quite a few years. The first gig was played in 2001 – from back then only René, Sandra and Andi are left. Because of the overwhelming reaction to this first concert (which was actually planned to be the last as well) they decided to carry on. The first cornerstone was set in summer 2003 when the band released the first CD “Demo 2003”. Intentionally planned as plain demo, it was considered to be full-length album by many in the scene.

In winter 2010 the album, „Rekreatur“, was recorded together with new vocalist Robse. „Rekreatur“ showcases once again what this band is able to do.

The new man on the mic fits perfectly and helps the band to step up to even higher levels with his voice’s diversity and powerful presence. When it comes to the music itself, EQUILIBRIUM sticks to what they know: thunderous metal, an epic vibe, hymns and that special battlefield-feeling at its best. The band being extremely smart at crossing genres and experimenting with exotic elements makes “Rekreatur” stand out even mor
