Thanks man! If you like Gallowbraid, crank up your volume, and turn on "Stone of Remembrance" right when the afterburners kick in on takeoff. If you can time it right, it's amazing.

I know this comment is five years old but was this your first intro to them? Or the whole album as a whole? My first intro song was blut im auge over 10 years ago and o had to pick up the album. My best moment is having a non metal listener react to them and ask if I understand what they are saying.y answer is "no, i don't speak German"
@@TorreblancaErik Growling is a good bit easier for me to understand when in German. (With a few singers as exception.) I think English is on one end of the "mumbleability" scale, German is on the other.
Definitely one of the songs of all time. Me and my friends used to listen to it while watching the Battle of Minias Tirith from LotR:RotK. It feels like it was made for every scene change and camera cut.
Die ersten beiden Alben dieser Band sind einfach unübertrefflich was Epic anbelangt. Keine Band kann Melodic mit Härte so gut verknüpfen wie diese. Hut ab vom alten Equi!! Ich liebe euch! Danke für zwei absolute Meisterstücke!!
For me, maybe the best long-version metal track I've ever heard... A lot of rhythms and styles in the same track, all transitions are good... Love it !
I knew this song for quite some time in the past and managed to recognize another one of their songs that had vocals too and decided to listen to a few of their songs. I just remembered about them now and I guess I will check out all their albums, the instrumental is just amazing.
This particular song is just outstanding, one of the better instrumentals in metal for sure. Certainly atleast one of the most epic, while keeping that quality, variety up and engaging. The power, the energy, the emotion is overwhelming! I get huge goosebumps every time the flute hits in around 4:16 , to mention just one highlight. Some of the first seconds reminded me of melanholic Insomnium (their first album), portion of the energy brought Wintersun in mind (atleast their first album). Epicness and emotion hinted of Moonsorrow, the untouchables. They're the best Finnish band in this field, as far as i'm concerned. Perhaps not the most similar to Equilibrium as some other bands, just something that immedaitely came to my mind as impressions. Metal would need more great instrumentals.
René Berthiaume is truly a very good writer. You can notice that "parts that just Equilibrium make" are parts where René takes inspiration in every style without giving a shit. A good example is Unbesiegt, this latino melody, or the reggae in heavy chill. Or... the russian sonority in Zum horizont. He mixes metal with other thing very greatly !
I could mention two other instrumental songs that have also struck me so hard I know I'll keep them alive in me for life, if you guys might be interested in something musically relatively similar: Feast Of The Savages by Firewind, and Hyperventilate, by Frost. Hopefully you'll enjoy it too :)
The first song my bestfriend ever recommended to me. Takes me back. Use to listen to this whilst reading The Warded Man when it was still just one book in the series.
+Bury Me In The Snow I often send this track to my non-metal friends, ask them to listen to it in peace and then come back to me with a story to what they've heard. Ofcourse it has no vocals, but it still tells a story. Funny thing is, they all come with the same kinda story. The rise and fall of an empire or a forbidden love story. Or a combination of that. ;)
8Biohazard5 Interesting! I see alot of German nature in front of me while listening this track. I see the morning sun rising, alot of animals coming out from their holes after a long winter and a beautiful spring starts.
One of the best songs ever 15:00 omg! and then even better at 15:29!! if you want to make something sound even more epic, just go up an octave \m/. lol.
Thanks :D, but I've already heard it as I occasionally listen to Wintersun :P. Sons of Winter and Stars is epic alright, but for me it just doesn't quite reach the same level as Mana does xD. Mana is like a whole movie, you have the whole story right there, without even needing to add lyrics :P
+Skylark Never said it was more epic, but it's defenitly in my top5 epic tracks. Some good stuff from Moonsorrow as well. And yeah it tells a story alright ;) I'll just copy a comment I made somewhere else here: I often send this track to my non-metal friends, ask them to listen to it in peace and then come back to me with a story to what they've heard. Ofcourse it has no vocals, but it still tells a story. Funny thing is, they all come with the same kinda story. The rise and fall of an empire or a forbidden love story. Or a combination of that. ;)
Jesper Anderson dude, sometimes the differences between genres are small, so small that you can't even tell which is which. Yes, this is a band of epic folk/viking metal. But they do have lots of elements we find in melodic death. I mean, Amon Amarth are considered Melodic Death, while I've never considered them as such. I think even they call themselves Viking Death Metal.... And anyways, I wrote this comment about 1 minute into the song... before the folk elements came in. Give me a break!
Laurent Jade Ahhh it appears my response from a while back was deleted... Dude, I was simply correcting you... no need for this excessive excuse. Plus, Equilibrium, including this song, has more elements of Black Metal than Melodeath... just saying. Amon Amarth are simply Melodic Death Metal, they are not Viking Metal at all. (Viking Metal being a Black Metal subgenre).
Viking Metal takes most of its influence from Bathory-esque Black metal, as well as nordic styled folk metal, it can be considered a subgenre of both. As for Amon Amarth, there is a difference between Viking Metal and Melodic Death Metal with viking themes..... Tyr arent exactly Viking Metal either, they have the nordic folk side of VM, but lack Black Metal, thus are not musically viking metal.
Just know people that I wrote that comment 1 minute into the song, it was my first listen of this band, and I didn't know yet that Equilibrium do epic folk metal. But as I said, the difference between genres sometimes are small
I have just discovered this band and understand that they r probably the most epic metal band ever. Even more than CoB - saying this as the total CoB fan. But right now can understand only the first 10 minutes of this song((
This fucking masterpiece should have billions of views.
i want to live on that planet
I'll just enjoy my superior English
Shine Raids Tombs lmao...this guy
People prefer descapito in this planet
depacqarpsitno is boring
This is one of those songs that will remain epic whenever you listen to it through your whole life
Hell yeah :3
hansjorgenolsen this is probably my favourite metal piece
Kurzes Epos, Aufbruch and Mana. Three supreme masterpieces of Equilibrium. I will keep listening... till the end of time.
Dream Eater and a new album is almost here!
@@dezman4392 Same here!
One of the best instrumental songs of all time. MASTERPIECE.
This is great, and might I suggest " I Am the Abyss" by Shylmagoghnar another wonderful album beginning instrumental.
listened to this masterpiece for years. its never getting old. it feels epic and sends shivers down the spine every single time
Same here man been 10 years for me and this song never gets old
When listening to such epic music, Hans Zimmer does take notes.
this is indeed like hans zimmer metalified
metalized, whatever xD
Best musical praise ever
The man has more notches on his musical belt than a Hell's Angel has tattoos.
Listen to this when you're in a flight, start about 5 minutes before takeoff.
Trust me.
Thanks my dude
Holy Shit
Thanks man!
If you like Gallowbraid, crank up your volume, and turn on "Stone of Remembrance" right when the afterburners kick in on takeoff. If you can time it right, it's amazing.
My ears say thank you for the beauty they behold.
It doesn’t feel right to stop this song at any point. Gotta listen through the whole song each time

And sang silently the lament of night..
The Evangelion of the Darkest Night..

4:19 - 5:00 this is nostalgia my friends
I cry
Déjà plus d'un an que j'écoute cette musique et je ne m'en lasse pas une seule seconde.
I wish I could have more of this genre
Song never gets old.... probally listen to it about 35 times within the past 4 weeks....
+DarkɆ only 35?? wow.
I probably listened it several hundred times the last few years... In fact this is one of the songs that might tip close to 1000.
Thousand times all this years and another song whispered ( thousand swords ⚔️) 😜
This song is fucking incredible
after a tough fuckin disgusting day this song is... mana indeed.
Such amazing music. I wake up and play this while making coffee. No better start to the day.
Song that makes my bus commutes an epic journey.
if only it weren't this short...
2021 IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC! AND STILL LISTENING TO THIS MASTERPIECE!
Keep on keeping on.
This album is so timeless...
It truly is, I discovered it like 10 years ago and still can't get bored of it.
Just listened to this for the first time. I hope I will get a chance to many more times, this is pure greatness.
best lyrics ever, rather short yet so expressive
+hcpftw Except there are no lyrics.
+Josh Teixeira thx for you information. i see my point went through!
hcpftw ur welcm
This is how you incorparate a palm flute into your music. Such epicness all the way through. 🎶🎶🎶
Man, the song composition, and the cohesion of the band, is coherent perfection from start to finish.
Feels finnish
And that is a compliment from a german dude about a german band that brought him both to Pagan/Folk Metal and Melo-Death XD
02:30am in some place in the world and I'm discovering this masterpiece.. just amazing!
glad to have finally found this banger!
Greatest rock anthem in the history of rock anthems. If this doesn't give you strength and hope. Can't help ya.
for real. unmatched
Definitely one of the songs of all time. Me and my friends used to listen to it while watching the Battle of Minias Tirith from LotR:RotK. It feels like it was made for every scene change and camera cut.
Amazing song and amazing band. Been listening to them for many years and it never gets old.

Ville Mononen check Persefone's consciousness part 1&2...in my opinion this is the greatest instrumental metal piece evef.

@International Ghost hunting they got abit too much in the action. Arlen and Jardir quarreling over a woman btw was really dumb.
This is truly PLUS ULTRA they've gone far beyond maximum epic
One of my favourite songs ever!
This is why i love Metal!
first 5 minutes are insane, can't stop looping them.
I love, love, love this song.
GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD EVER
PERIOD
Ran into this band via wirtshaus gaudi (which was hilarious because of the acordian) then found this which now my new favorite song.
Emotionen pur! Episch in jeder Hinsicht.
One of the few long songs i can listen whole :D
Дико круто!!!
No importa cuántas veces escuche ésta canción, sigue estremeciendo todos mis sentidos... Tremenda obra de arte!!
I want this song to be played at my funeral.
+Bury Me In The Snow You won't be the first one. Trust me, I know
8Biohazard5 This track describes "epicness".
+Bury Me In The Snow I often send this track to my non-metal friends, ask them to listen to it in peace and then come back to me with a story to what they've heard.

who's listening on 2020...from 5:02 its a bliss...Slow but Sure
Me! :D
I remember when they released a little recording of this to promote the upcoming album. It's permanently been on my playlist since.
Epic song forever! Cheers from Poland!
14:00 another highlight
love this song!!
The section at 5.06 is just the greatest.
For me too. I love the energy in that part and the drums preparing the incoming epicity
@@Frest99 The way it builds and then explodes *chef kiss*
Use it as a study music, it really helps for me, instead of listining to relax music and fall in sleep.
Imagine this being performed live, with a huge ass band at a football stadium.
SuperMarioZzZzzzZzzz oh man. Yup.
Bis heute der beste Song von Equilibrium!
One of the best songs ever 15:00 omg! and then even better at 15:29!! if you want to make something sound even more epic, just go up an octave \m/. lol.
You're mistaken, it's on 13:15
Still gives me chills to this day
Absolutely masterful
It can't get much more epic than this :D. Not even Sabaton or Dragonforce are this epic, close but not quite .
