Country of origin: Canada Location: Calgary, Alberta Status: Active Formed in: 2017 Genre: Melodic Power/Death Metal Themes: Fantasy, Science fiction Current label: Unsigned/independent Years active: 2017-present Formed in 2017 from former members of punk band The Reckless Heroes. Recorded The Nameless Terror EP in 2019 which was released digitally in November of that year and physically in January of 2020. 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. Balrogath is: Chris Saunders/ Warchanter – Guitar, Vocals Gray Panchuck/ Bladesinger – Vocals Jesse McCrank/Rhythm Warden – Drums T.J. Riggins/Loremaster – Bass
