Equilibrium - Part Ways With Vocalist And Drummer, Update
German pagan metallers Equilibrium have parted ways with vocalist Helge Stang and drummer Manuel Di Camillo. This has been reported by the organizers of Winterfire Festival at which Equilibrium were supposed to perfom next weekend (13th February 2010). So far the band itself has only published the following statement on its official Myspace site:
"We regret to inform you that we have to cancel our appearance at Winterfire Festival due to serious restructuring within the band. We regret this deeply and hope for your understanding. Of course we will inform you as soon as possible about the future of Equilibrium."
UPDATED on 13.02.2010:
By now the band has confirmed the split officially. The statement on the band's Myspace reads as follows:
"Unfortunately we have to tell you that Helge, Manu and Equilibrium go their separate ways for personal reasons. We parted on amicable terms and we wish them all the best for their future. We really had an amazing time with them on stage!
Certainly, this split is not going to impact the music of Equilibrium which means the songs will still be composed by René Berthiaume. At the moment, we are recording our third album at Helion Studios in Munich which will be released in June. And we can already give away that this album will contain plenty of bombast, harshness, epic poetry, emotions, curious musical surprises and much more!
Every announced concert is going to take place! (Except for the Winterfire-Festival) Of course you will be informed instantly, as soon as we've got any news about new Equilibrium band members."

Written by MissRagnarok on 10.02.2010 at 22:13 The Paganfest dates are still on their Myspace, so perhaps they already have someone in store, but didn't quite have the time to rehearse with them for that festival next weekend.

I fear very much for the band's future... The drummer was awesome and Helge was very good too. By the way, those who wanna hear him again can try Arafel, even though his voice is weird with this band, he sounds like Tvangeste's vocalist... Anyway, this is very bad news, much more dramatic than Dimmu Borgir's so-called drama. And about the retard who thinks English is metal's one language, well... you're a freaking, ethnocentric and racist bitch. There.

"restructuring"? sounds like something ended violently.

Why are all so upset? There shouldnt be anything really important always that they both didnt compose anything previous, as I guess it happened. Just 2 replacements, fine.

Written by Baz Anderson on 10.02.2010 at 19:58 Judging by your suprise, I'd say nothing was said about this in the interview. Did you even get a feelin that something was wrong? It seemed pretty layed back, and I thought eveyone was geared up for making the new album.

Written by MeloDeathViking on 11.02.2010 at 17:51 Absolutely not. Both guys were very happy to be finally playing in the UK. They both had a great time and I had a great time talking to them. This was totally unforeseeable from my point of view.

Written by JÄY on 10.02.2010 at 20:02 I think in the past most bands thought they had to sing in English to get more of a following, but I think within the last several years (or more) that has changed a lot. Or I have just broadened my horizons and am listening to bands with a very small following (i.e. kromlek). Most of the bands I like sing there traditional language. I'd have to say I prefer non English lyrics nowadays anyway....

Written by Dark Cornatus on 12.02.2010 at 01:36 Nope lol so that's why his name is "Ilia" or something like that... My only contact with Arafel is a short listening on their myspace page. But I was actually right when I said he sounded like Tvangeste's vocalist, since it WAS that guy  So, what will happen to Helge Stang???
