US heavy psych trio King Buffalo releases a brand new single »Balrog« and announces additional tour dates!
Rochester, New York based heavy psych trio King Buffalo presents a brand new single »Balrog«, released on November 11th, 2024.
»Balrog« was written by King Buffalo in Rochester, NY at KB Studios in 2024. Produced, engineered and mixed by Sean McVay, and mastered by Bernie Matthews. The artwork was created by Thomas Tubiolo.
King Buffalo comments: “We’ve just released a brand new song called »Balrog« and have announced some additional tour dates. You can download it FOR FREE at kingbuffalo.bandcamp.com right now! It will be available on all the streaming platforms in the coming weeks.
We’ve been hard at work on our studio and still have more to do. Even with things not quite complete we wanted to try tracking something to dial in the room.
What spawned is »Balrog« and we can’t wait for you to hear it! We will be playing it and some other album tracks we’ve never played live on all our remaining tour dates.
These will be our last shows in the US for the time being as we are going to finish the studio and continue working on new ideas. See you at the upcoming shows!”
