About:
Balrogath formed in 2017 and quickly gained a following in Southern Alberta with their powerful stage presence and intricate composition. Burning the gap between death and power metal, the group takes influence from all corners of the genre, and alchemically blends those components into a sound wholly their own. With years of shows under their belt, Balrogath has only just begun their quest.
The group has been playing relentlessly since 2018 covering many venues and festivals throughout Alberta and has shared the stage with some of Alberta’s biggest heavy indie bands, such as Mares of Thrace, No More Moments, and Black Pestilence. Balrogath’s live show is one to be remembered.
After the overwhelmingly positive reception of their debut album Arcane Sacrifice in 2022 Balrogath has dug deep to bring a more modern sound to their classic composition with the 2023 EP We Bring Calamity. The upcoming single “Calamity” is sure to impress, showing off their familiar dark melody with a striking new video to accompany.
