The Lord of the Rings - The Balrog of Moria

This video is, obviously, about the Balrog of Moria (Flame of Udun, Durin's Bane etc.) I never realised just how little screen time this character was given so I added a few Saruman & Dwarf scenes in :)

The music belongs the the incredible "Immediate Music" and is called "Rising Empire". All credit goes to them.

@lotrfan0123 The balrogs of morgoth are demigods or gods right ? and how many are left in middle earth?

[lotrfan0123]

@MultiKillerBo Yes, they are Maia who allied themselves with Melkor during the Music of the Ainur. Tolkien never stated the exact number, but there were at least 7 in existence; Gothmog the Lord of the Balrogs, the Balrog which fought with Glorfindel, Durin's Bane (this one), and others who fled underground.

@MultiKillerBot tolkien once said that they were armies of balrogs wich invaded gondolin so they can be betwen 100 and 1000 and Durins Bane was posible the last one

[lotrfan0123]

@campusservant Yes, there were many more of them in his earlier writings, but later on they became actual Maiar, and far more powerful beings than they originally were meant to be. Christopher Tolkien said there were "at most 7" but I think there were more. We know 5 were killed during the sacking of Gondolin alone.

Great video and has perfect music but only problem is it has Gandalf at the end like the video is all about Gandalf.

[lotrfan0123]

As the description says, " I never realised just how little screen time this character was given". I used practically every moment of the film in which the Balrog was in it. Gandalf was the cause of his death, so I ended it with him.

Amazing, dear Feanor!

It's just epic, you catched all the right moments and scenes.

I wish I could give you more than 5 stars. :)

What's that scene in which Saruman is loudly speaking at the peak of Orthanc? Is it at the Extended Version? I don't remember seeing it...

[aragornfan101]

Amazing!!!!!!

@technologic21

both when Arda was formed/new and later on, during the first era, i think. Definetly not later than that, besides Durin's bane below Moria that re-surfaced during the late third era

@lotrfan0123 i think its said that the Balrogs are the sons of Morgoth and his daughters are in middleearh tooo( Kankra is one of them)

[mizokiify]

Perhaps there's a possibility we are going to see a balrog in the hobbit ?? :D

[Mannycom420]

not what i was looking for, but a good vid none the less xD

[dazed2784]

the balrog is older than time

[MrAltron]

balgor is possibly the coolest demon out.
