With two years and two band mates gone Equilibrium manage to release their new opus, ReKreatur. When I first heard that Equilbrium and vocalist Helge Stang had parted ways, I slowly balled my hands into fists and shouted, "Noooo!" I have liked this band since the beginning and I really enjoyed the chemistry that flowed with each release. Now I had to deal with some new blood and when it comes down to vocalist changes in a band it can go one of two ways. They can change the chemistry enough to where I am bored to death with each new release, or the new vocalist will add some new element that propels any new material into a positive light for the band. Luckily the latter prevailed and they released ReKreatur with a new vocalist and drummer intact and in full force. Robert "Robse" Dahn has slid into the lead vocalist role with ease.

I really am not a fan of death metal, or black metal or really any of the extreme genres though I do like a few artists here and there from each one. Despite that I absolutely love folk metal, harsh vocals or not, this is some of the best folk metal I have ever heard with a combination of death grunts and black metal rasps that make for some interesting vocals.

Die Affeninsel = Crash Bandicoot Metal

The album is good overall, but not so special

This album's biggest problem, besides the album cover looking like furry art, is that it was mostly a subpar copy of Sagas released just a couple years later. I think this was Robse's best vocal performance with the band and there is a lot of great instrumentation everywhere. It's clear that a lot of heart and soul was put into this album but to me the overall writing always felt rushed and kind of underdeveloped, especially in the second half. I'd take another album like this over what they've been doing the last few years though.
