Here is some epic folk metal for you courtesy of Equilibrium. The German band will unleash Armageddon upon us this summer, their fifth studio album. Guitarist, composer and lyricist René Berthiaume spent almost two years working on this new opus and the result is rather dark, according to the label. But you can be the judge of that. Today, the band has released the lyric video of the brand new track "Prey" via YouTube. Check it out here.




"Prey" will be available as a digital single on July 1st, 2016. Armageddon will be released on August 12th, 2016 via Nuclear Blast Records. This time, the album was recorded, mixed and produced by René himself and was mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Los Angeles). The cover artwork was again created by Skadi Rosehurst.

No, they had one on the precious album called "The Unknown Episode"

Turis Fratyr and Sagas were the best. Still enough of a fan to check out the rest when it comes out, but I remain skeptical.

This is the first Equilibrium song I've heard I didn't like, still have high hopes for the rest of the album though.

Song kinda reminds me of Karawane, but not as powerful and epic. Hopefully not one of the better cuts off the new album...

Good Amon Amarth song

Too right. I like them better in Deutsch. I'll still buy it, it sounds good.

A poor man's Amon Amarth meets Skyrim. What on earth are they doing? Erdentempel was pretty solid, this is a really bizarre direction to take

What an odd song...I see the Amon Amarth-ness in the intro and verse riffs, and the chorus is at least reminiscent of Equilibrium but feels more like something an angsty melodic black metal band would come up with. My favorite part is the blast around the 4' mark; that's what I want when I hear about Equilibrium being "darker". The outro reminds me of a darker version of Wintersun's Time I sound.
They definitely sound better in German though.
Eh well, the single is [almost] never the best song. Hopefully the rest of the album sounds more like the ending of this song and less like the rest of it.

I got no stimulus after listening to this for the first time... I don't know why, but this songs lacks of something in my opinion.

Well, they lost me with Erdentempel but this is even worse... Not even close to TF or Sagas in terms of songwriting but that's to be expected from a band that has lost almost all its founding members.

I'm a big Equilibrium fan but I sincerely hope the rest of the album is much better than this song.

To me the lyrics are of the "your eyes are blue and I still love you" kind... Stop singing in English please.
