“This is the band that released ‘Blut Im Auge’?”” comments one fan.
Epic metallers Equilibrium are a band who have seemed to do no wrong when it comes to making albums people enjoy, however on the cusp of their new release ‘Renegades’, fans seem to be very split on their new offering ‘Path of Destiny’.
Watch the video and listen to the track below:
A band who began their career on making epic pagan folk metal, and progressively stretch their boundaries while maintaining their epic sound, have suddenly made a dramatic shift in their persona and sound.
While some fans have applauded the artistic shift, long time fans of the pagan sound have deplored the experimental venture that includes 8-bit synths and rap.
A very interesting step for the band, and one that has been certainly met with controversy.
‘Renegades’ comes out August 23rd via Nuclear Blast Records.
