Equilibrium was formed in 2001 in Munich. This German band is famous for its powerful and impressive melodies and deep lyrics. The artists manage to combine different genres, including black metal, Viking metal, and folk metal. In their lyrics, the musicians work around German legends and other myths.

The band’s lineup changed many times. Today, the following musicians are part of the band: vocalist Robs Dan, guitar player and keyboardist Rene Berthiaume, drummer Tuval Refaeli guitar player Dom R. Krey, and a bass guitar player Makki Solvalt. Only one of them, Rene, was part of the original lineup.

The artists managed to become popular very quickly. They appealed to the public with their unique melodic metal and playful elements. The group combined numerous genres, which made their tracks highly successful.

Equilibrium gave its first concert in 2001. Two years later, the band presented a demo album, Demo 2003. With time, they turned it into an LP due to its unexpected popularity. The young band was becoming more and more sucessful. It signed a contract with a label, Black Attakk, and started working on the next album, Turis Fratyr. The most popular songs from the LP were "Wingthors Hammer (Wingthor's Hammer)", "Unter der Eiche (Under the Oak)", "Turis Fratyr", and "Met (Mead)". After the release, many fans wanted to book Equilibrium for private events.

The group gave several big performances at the festivals, Summer Breeze in 2004 and Wacken in 2005. The album, Turis Fratyr, came out in 2005. After the release, three band members left. The rest of the artists signed a new contract with the label, Nuclear Blast.

The group began working on a new album, Sagas. After its release, the lineup changed once again. This time the drummer and the vocalist left.

In 2010, Equilibrium released the new LP, Rekreatur. It was recorded with the assistance of a new vocalist, Dahn. The new singer made the group even more popular thanks to the color and ambiance he added to the songs. Dahn was a highly talented vocalist.

Rekreatur featured such hits as "In heiligen Hallen", "Verbrannte Erde", "Der Wassermann", and "Aus ferner Zeit". It reached the 20th spot on the national German chart.
