EQUILIBRIUM released their long-awaited fourth full-length album entitled "Erdentempel", on June 6th, 2014 in Europe, June 9th, 2014 in the United Kingdom and June 10th, 2014 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded, produced and mixed at Helion Studios by guitar player and producer René Berthiaume and mastered at Finnvox-Studios. The cover artwork was created by Skadi van Terror. René states: "Things finally get going again! The new album is done and we can hardly wait to share it with the world. The 12 titles are already a hint that it’s an extremely varied album. I have just listened to the album again, and I’ve never been so happy and excited after the completion of an album. The album really includes every facet of EQUILIBRIUM." "We are also very proud of the cover artwork of "Erdentempel". Skadi has been listening to the record most intensely, started to draw and this is the outcome. She really managed to put the content of the album into a picture!" "By the way, this time there is one song with English lyrics on the album. It is for all our fans who don’t speak German. So they can finally understand the lyircs while listening to it. The other songs are still in German, of course!" A teaser for "Erdentempel"can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

German epic metallers EQUILIBRIUM released their very first EP entitled "Waldschrein", on August 9th via Nuclear Blast Records. Produced by guitarist René Berthiaume at Helion Studios and mixed and mastered by the Resetti Brothers — Joerg Umbreit and Vincent Sorg at their Principal Studios. "Waldschrein" includes the brand-new title track and an acoustic version of the same song plus a re-recorded and extended version of "Der Sturm" from "Turis Fratyr" (originally sung by ex-vocalist Helge Stange, now by frontman Robse Dahn). Moreover, it contains "Zwergenhammer" — a previously unreleased older song — as well as a cover version of the "Skyrim" video game opening theme. Commented the band: "We're really looking forward to releasing this EP, because we all have to wait until next year for our next full-length album to be released. This makes it the perfect chance to release some songs and recordings that didn't make it on any regular album because they are so exclusive. The best thing yet is that with 'Waldschrein' we can provide the fans with a little foretaste for what expects them in 2014!"
