German band Equilibrium was born in summer 2001. A few friends came up with the idea to create a pagain/viking/epic metal band and decided to revive their ideas in a band. In 2002 their keyboard player left, while their drummer left after the release of their first Demo (Demo 2003) in 2003. A new drummer was found and an album was recorded, which shall be released on valentines day of 2005. (Source: G.I.)

The group toured with Commander and Sycronomica in 2005. The following year they signed a contract with the Nuclear Blast record label and on June 27, 2008 they released their second album, Sagas.

In February 2010, Equilibrium had to cancel their appearance at the Winterfire Festival in Germany "due to serious restructuring within the band". It was later revealed that vocalist Helge Stang and drummer Manuel DiCamillo had left the band.[4] The following month the band announced that Robse, vocalist in the German pagan metal band Vrankenvorde, had been chosen as their new vocalist.

In the same year, Israeli drummer Tuval "Hati" Refaeli, who is also the drummer of the brutal death metal band Viscera Trail has joined the band. The band, full again, released their third album, Rekreatur, via Nuclear Blast, on June 18, 2010.

The EP was released on August 16, 2013.

The song "Waldschrein" is part of the next album of the band, Erdentempel, which will be released in June 2014. However, the album contains a completely re-recorded version of the song. Two days after the announcement of the album, founding members and siblings Andreas Völkl and Sandra Van Eldik decided to leave the band for unspecified reasons.

On June 7, 2014, one day after Erdentempel's release, it was announced that Jen Majura would be joining the band as new bassist, replacing Sandra Van Eldik. With her addition to the band, Equilibrium is complete once again. The band promoted the release of their new album with a European tour, supported by Trollfest and Dom's other band Nothgard.
