Keyboard wizard Blackwald states, “It is with great mirth and much delight that we present to you the third and final single before »Dawn Of The Dragonstar« is unveiled in its entirety to the world of the living!
It tells the story of a timeless and omnipotent celestial entity, an immortal and unfathomably powerful ethereal being, namely the Queen Of Eternity. She is the spirit and warden of realities and time, and the immortal protector of the cosmic winds. She is awakened from her slumber when unknown and malicious rifts in the space time continuum sends tremors through the fabric of mana. In the events which transpire in this particular song, she is facing the galactic ruler of the dark dimensions, who seeks to eradicate life, order, and time.
‘Queen Of Eternity’ is a fast paced journey through interdimensional portals, propelled by furious guitarwork and pounding drums. The song is also enlivened with a choral part, where the chanting of empyreal choirs constitutes a hymn in celebration of the saviour of the cosmos!
So, without further ado, we now give you – ‘Queen Of Eternity’!”
German epic metal pioneers, EQUILIBRIUM, will set aflame a brand new bonfire this summer with their sixth studio album. “Renegades” (out: August 23rd via Nuclear Blast) is heralding a watershed, the turn of an era for this genre. This is metal at its most epic and most monumental, bearing huge songs, resting firmly in the Zeitgeist with a massive, modern production and sporting quite a number of eclectic influences. And before the bleating erupts: It’s working, it’s blending in – and above all, it’s still Equilibrium. Quite possibly more than ever.
The album’s limited Digipac includes an exclusive bonus CD with 8-bit versions of all songs on the album. Today the band presents you a small foretaste of this bonus CD in the form of a video of the 8-bit version of the song “Renegades – A Lost Generation”.
The band states: “Most of us grew up with computer games in the 80s and 90s so everytime we hear these 8 Bit sounds its kinda nostalgic.We always had this idea in mind to make 8 Bit versions of our songs and this time we just did it! This clip will give you a little taste of how it sounds.”
The official video clip of the song “Renegades – A Lost Generation” can be seen here.
