The song "Kalros" by Miracle of Sound is an ode to the massive creature that players encounter in the video game Mass Effect. The lyrics describe Kalros's power as it roams through a sunken city and catacombs, shuddering, shaking, and crushing everything in its path. Kalros is referred to as the "Mother of the Threshers," a term that signifies its status as the leader of the monstrous Thresher Maw species on the planet Tuchanka. It is also referred to as the "Titan of the soil" and the "Queen of all Tuchanka," highlighting its dominance over the planet.
The lyrics use powerful and forceful language to convey the immense power of Kalros. The repeated use of the word "crush" reinforces Kalros's strength, as if it can destroy anything without effort. The mention of suffocation coils suggests that Kalros has a distinct way of killing its prey, adding to its fearsome reputation. The repetition of Kalros's name throughout the song serves to emphasize its importance and power.

You know it's bad when Krogans name a Thrasher Maw. It means they never expect the thing to die.

The Krogan are pretty happy with the fight against the Reapers, but they are scared shitless of a single Thesher Maw... That's say a lot.

The thresher vs. Reaper destroyer fight is definitely amongst the most epic moments in Mass Effect :D

I so want to hear this one remastered and have the overall sound opened up. even with the volume up and the bass maxed, it still feels hollow. it should be blowing my clothes off.
that said, fuck yes I love thsi song.

I first saw this in 2013 and I didn't like it, I had no idea what a Kalros was or why it was worth writing about... now I know and this is probably the most amazing thing I've heard in a while.

This song. The guitar and heavy drums really emphasize the whole 'unstoppable force' thing. Having a krogan for a singer doesn't hurt either.

Unfortunately(?), one single shot from a capital ship Reaper's main gun would cut a Jaeger in half.
