Die Pagan-Metal-Band Equilibrium hat ihre neue Single „Borrowed Waters“ veröffentlicht, auf der die bezaubernde, mystische Pop-Künstlerin Roniit zu hören ist. Der Song ist die dritte Singleauskopplung aus ihrem neuen Studioalbum „Equinox“, das am 28. November erscheint.

Equilibrium haben ein erdverbundenes, waldähnliches Video zu „Borrowed Waters“ veröffentlicht, in dem auch Roniit mitwirkt, die im Einklang mit den Gezeiten der Antike ihre Seele offenbart.

René Berthiaume commented:
„This is the first original song of Equilibrium that has not been mostly written by me. I am very picky when it comes to the music, but when Jessy showed me the first demo, I immediately resonated with it. It is a very beautiful and fullfilling process to let other people dive into your project and be part of it. Also the collaboration with Roniit felt very natural. For me authenticity in art is super important and you can hear this also in her voice and see this in her video performance that she created for the song.“

Jessica Rösch commented:
„‚Borrowed Waters‘ is a song about surrender.
About learning to move and flow with life and with the natural world we’ve all forgotten about a little bit.
It speaks of cycles, of old memory and of a language older than us. Of what it means to belong to something much larger than yourself, larger than life itself.

The song was born out of a time when everything felt a kinda uncertain.
It’s also the first song I’ve ever written that isn’t for my own music project and the first one I don’t sing myself on, which made the process feel incredibly intimate in a completely new way. Hearing someone else carry my words and melodies was so so deeply moving.
Roniit captured the spirit and soul of ‚Borrowed Waters‘ in the most profound way and I feel endlessly grateful for her.

It’s an incredible honour to have this song on the album.
Working with René on music feels like we speak a language only we understand, even without words.
Our writing styles are very different, yet somehow they fit together perfectly.“

Roniit commented:
„I grew up listening to pagan and symphonic metal, and it’s a huge influence on my witchy dark-pop sound. Collaborating with Equilibrium felt like a full circle moment, returning to my metal roots while bringing my own magic into it. Above all, the message of Borrowed Waters really spoke to me. As someone who lives in the forest and practices magic, I see how we are part of nature, not separate from it. The modern world has pulled us further and further away, but this song is a reminder that we still belong to the earth, and that message feels important to share.“
