EQUINOX To Record New EP
August 10, 2005Floridian black/death metallers EQUINOX will enter Diet of Worms studio (MORBID ANGEL, DIABOLIC, UNHOLY GHOST) in Tampa, Florida this week to record a new five-song EP, tentatively tiltled "Wretched & Nameless". The recording marks a new chapter in the group's 12-year history, featuring a newly revamped lineup and direction with the addition of Gabriel Lewandowski (ACHERON, HELLWITCH) on drums, and Nate Lawres (ARUSPEX, WARBUTCHER) on rhythm guitar and keyboards.
Commented vocalist/bassist Matt "Darkness" Wagner: "The new direction of EQUINOX is certainly much more aggressive, technical, and overall more epic than ever before! The additions of both Nate and Gabriel have helped push the envelope of aggression that EQUINOX has lacked in the past, taking us back to our death metal roots."
EQUINOX's latest full-length album, "Journey Into Oblivion", was released in 2003 by the now seemingly-defunct Still Dead Records (Poland). "Still Dead disappeared completely on us for the second time in our relationship, leaving EQUINOX high and dry, with all of our hopes of releasing a new album now put on hold," stated guitarist/founder Pete Slate, "EQUINOX are now forced to start over, and with this new EP, we will be actively seeking a new record deal for the next release!
"The new material just gets better and better the longer we have to work with it, however, we are anxious to get into the studio to release this EP, and show the labels, and the world that EQUINOX is alive, kicking, and stronger than ever!"
EQUINOX's next live appearance is scheduled for Saturday, August 27 at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando.
