This totally rocks! And it's new?!! And it's got a badass Lord of the Rings shout out?
It's like Mastodon and TOOL had a deviant kid. One raised on diet of psycho hypno trash metal!
I can get behind this!

we stood there listening to them and had an astronomic dancing trip! Absolutely beautiful sound and energy.
Interesting.
In a good way.

Great choice! I have seen them live and they are even better live.
Balrogs are powerful demonic creatures in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, first appearing in "The Lord of the Rings" as formidable foes. One notable Balrog, known as Durin's Bane, is encountered by the Fellowship in the Mines of Moria.
That was a kinda hot head banger. I could drive along I-87 to that at about 80.

Great song!! This lead me to buy their album Regenerator. Amazing album!!
Sounds exactly like a band I saw a few years back called Dead Now.
9....straight off the top and, 1st listen ever! Serious guitar work going on!
Wow, really digging this tune! King Buffalo, never heard of them but I love the pure rocking energy in this song! I guess, what one should expect from a song named Balrog... very powerful! And I am a big fan of Tolkien Also!
Dammit. I like this !
Reminds me of Porcupine Tree and Tool, but with their own great sound!
Wow.
Full Speed Ahead! Lame ratings? Lame people!

[Verse 1]
As summer retreats and fades
To haunting shades of tarnishing gold
An old and ancient thing lies underneath
A lingering fissure grows
[Pre-Chorus]
A shadow is creepin' in
Is everything cavin' in?
[Verse 2]
They gouge and they dig into
The rock and the stone that's buried below
The weakened and hollowed walls stand wavering
The looming fracture grows
[Bridge]
The bedrock is wearing thin
The bedrock is wearing thin
[Pre-Chorus]
It feels like we're cavin' in
The chasm grows
Is everything cavin' in?
[Chorus]
The ramparts come tumbling down
The bedrock was spoiled so long ago
Gilded walls fall to the ground
Every day the fracture grows
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
The ramparts come tumbling down
The bedrock was spoiled so long ago
Gilded walls fall to the ground
Every day the fracture grows
[Outro]
Everything's cavin' in
Withering stones
Everything's cavin' in
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
Downward it goes
