ITP V.025 UPDATE: ITP'S CAT MILO HAS DIED

 

 On 10/1/2025, between 2pm and 3pm, ITP'S author's cat MILO died at 16.

ITP's author first met MILO in 2019 when he was owned by her neighbors as ITP'S author would frequently feed him. 

A few years later ITP'S author took in MILO for the winter and then by the end of the year took in MILO permanently... 

MILO was more than a cat, he was ITP'S author emotional support friend, constant companion and sidekick. 

MILO would literally sleep on ITP'S author's back at night. 

ITP'S author is HEARTBROKEN over MILO'S passing. 

...R.I.P. MILO, I'll see you at the rainbow bridge. 

 

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P. MILO

FROM EQUILIBRIUM:

 

New song out & new album coming November 28th! https://equilibrium.bfan.link/equinox

'I'll Be Thunder' is a very impulsive song that shows the experimental and uncompromising side of Equilibrium. Therefore we tried to emphasise this with a unique, archaic performance video. The whole visual concept, artworks, set design and costumes have been hand crafted by Jessica Rösch again. I love this song, because while the notes of it came intuitively to my mind, the lyrics are about self-empowerment, breaking free from limitations, and embracing one’s true strength and authenticity.

It is also the perfect moment to announce our upcoming album "Equinox", which is all about authenticity, reconnection with and rediscovering our own art. It took a long time to go through this process since a lot has happened throughout the last few years in the history of Equilibrium. It represents the bright and dark side of our music and we can't wait to share the whole thing with the world and enlighten this new chapter. The album contains all the cinematic, folky, harsh and soft elements an Equilibrium album should have. - René
