{"product_id":"4562387200924","title":"Ecribrium Armageddon [Limited Edition CD + Bonus CD] Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContent Introduction Equilibrium, a folk metal band that incorporates German folk music and mythology, has released their latest album, \"Armageddon\"! A magnificent and heroic symphonic sound created with synthesizers and flutes! Equilibrium hails from Germany. Formed in 2001, they are veterans with over 15 years of experience. The band was formed around leader and the only remaining original member, guitarist and keyboardist Ren? Berthiaome. After their debut in 2005 with \"Turis Fratyr,\" they quickly became popular, and were soon signed to the prestigious German label Nuclear Blast Records. In 2008, they released their second album, \"Sagas.\" Although they later suffered the misfortune of losing their vocalist and drummer, they welcomed new members and continued to release albums such as \"Rekreatur\" (2010) and \"Erdentempel\" (2014). However, just two days after the announcement of the release of \"Erdentempel,\" the original members, the guitarist and bassist, left the band. This left Rene as the sole founding member. But Equilibrium didn't let that stop them. Despite the difficulties they faced, they quickly reorganized and embarked on a European tour. And two years after that, they completed this new album, \"Armageddon.\" Their style is described in various ways, such as folk metal, Viking metal, and epic metal, but what sets their music apart from the hassle of such genre classifications is its accessibility. This weapon has been further refined in this fifth album, \"Armageddon.\" It's full of unforgettable melodies and has an immediate impact. This album, which was carefully crafted over two years, features artwork by Skadi Rosehl?th, familiar to Equilibrium fans, and as the title \"Armageddon\" suggests, it has a slightly darker side compared to their previous works. The epic track \"Eternal Destination,\" which is over seven minutes long, is a good example of this. But there's nothing to worry about. The majestic songs that build up from mid-to-up tempos, the symphonic and flamboyant orchestration, the folk-music-like tones, rhythms, and melodies?Equilibrium's signature style is on full display more than ever. Ren? himself handled everything from recording and mixing to production for this album. Mastering was done by Maol Appelbaum, who has worked with Sepultura to Yngwie Malmsteen, and Faith No More to Yes. Equilibrium is sometimes called Viking metal, but in reality, they are a very German band, incorporating melodies from German folk music, writing lyrics almost entirely in German, and even drawing on German mythology. Even the symphonic parts are of the quality you'd expect from Germany, the home of symphonies. As is clear from the popularity of German metal in Japan and the spread of German classical music, German music is very compatible with us Japanese people. This symphonic, folky, grand, and heroic album is sure to appeal to a wide audience, not only folk metal fans, but also fans of melodic death metal, black metal, and even power metal.
