Album Description
Available in:
Sagas is Equilibrium's second full-length album, released on June 27, 2008. All lyrics were written by Helge Stang and all music composed by René Berthiaume.

It is an 80 minute epic that display several different genres. Some songs are intense battle metal with thick guitars and an angry black metal attitude. Others have a lot of grand symphonic elements. A few combine thrash guitars with a movie soundtrack feel. There are also traditional folk metal passages that's a bit mellower with flutes and instruments of that ilk. The album has a lot of ebbs and flows. Fast and aggressive songs are tempered by slower sections or mellow instrumentals.
Helge Stang is Equilibrium's vocalist, with a raspy style more in the vein of black or death metal. The lyrics on the CD are all in the band's native German.

User Album Review
All of the songs on Sagas has a certain beauty to them, making none boring or in a way that would drag on for a long period of time. Each song has a meaning and a certain place that fits into the whole idea of this story being told. One does not even have to look at the lyrics (which are all in German) to understand what is going on. Lyrically, this is about Germany mythology and Folklore. If you comprehend and know the littlest amount about early to middle-age Germanic history, you understand and appreciate the marvel of the album. Adding the vocals of Helge Stang makes this that much better. His growls and shrieks are marvelous, and this is coming from someone who is extremely picky on his harsh vocals. Helge is the head Viking of the clan, and he does a fine job at what he does. All of the songs are equal in their own right.
