Equilibrium release new stand-alone single and video ‘Bloodwood’

Cinematic, folk-metal trailblazers Equilibrium are thrilled to return with a brand-new single, titled ‘Bloodwood’. The track, which comes accompanied by a stunning video, tells the story of a tree becoming human. It’s tale unfolds with raw emotion, as it experiences the beauty, pain and confusion of becoming flesh and blood. It is about lineage, loss and the slow, sacred violence of becoming.

Equilibrium commented:

“Over the past years, we’ve worked extensively on the next chapter of Equilibrium. Bloodwood marks the beginning of this journey.
A journey back to our roots and at the same time a brave step forward into our future.
Equilibrium has always been about storytelling, and this time our goal was to make everything more coherent — visually, musically, and contextually. More organic, cinematic and real. I believe you can both hear and see it: raw emotions, recordings of instruments we’ve collected over the years, handcrafted costumes, etc.
The music videos and the songs belong together more than ever, and we’re super excited to finally begin this new chapter with Bloodwood.”

By blending a furious modern metal sound with elements of traditional folk, Germany’s Equilibrium have created a distinctive sound that is enthralling and spiritually up-lifting.

Their longevity can be largely attributed to their willingness to grow and evolve, consistently exploring new sonic territories and revealing different sides of their artistry with each release. But the core of their appeal has remained consistent: harsh metal presented with vast cinematic soundscapes that speak to the entire human experience.

In spite of its often dark tonality, Equilibrium’s music is meant to evoke feelings of hope and confidence. They incorporate aspects of many different musical cultures, focusing on the things that unite us as people, rather than the things that define us.
