Equinox where a band from Florida that played a mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 1996 album "Return To Misery" and will be re-issued in July, 2024 by Vic records and consists of their 19995 ep, 19993 live tracks and 19993 demo "The Anthem To the Moon" as bonus tracks.
Ritualistic soundscapes start off the album before going into more of a fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast b eats. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while t he vocals are mostly black metal screams and keyboards are also utilized at times.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music also adds in a decent amount of death metal growls. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark, chaotic yet melodic style, a couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length and the demo shows also display more of an aggressive style then what is heard on the full length.
Equinox played a musical style that went back to the mid 80's and early 90's era of European black metal and American death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Sumerian Mythology, Evil and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Equinox where a very great sounding mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rites Of Red Giving" "The Mourning River" "Psychic Rebirth" and "Divine Ascension". 8/5 out of 10.
