Balmora is a metalcore band formed in April 2022 in Connecticut, known for reviving the spirit of '90s European metalcore and melodic black metal with a fresh modern twist. Their sound features speedy twin-guitar work and dynamic songwriting that blends influences from classic European metal and hardcore, creating a unique fusion that resonates strongly within the hardcore scene. The band’s members include vocalist Senti and guitarist Collin Wayne among others, and they emphasize their roots in hardcore as much as in metalcore, encouraging energetic live shows complete with violent dancing.
Their releases, including the well-received EP *With Thorns of Glass and Petals of Grief* and the surprise 2025 *Prologue* EP, showcase their blend of melodic death metal and metalcore with themes of heartbreak, loss, and betrayal. Balmora has gained attention for bringing a nostalgic yet innovative energy to the genre, and they have been noted as an important part of the current Connecticut hardcore and metalcore scene, performing alongside bands like Torture and Sanction on tours. Their forthcoming full-length debut is highly anticipated, promising to continue their momentum in the metalcore community.
