Loud, off rhythm banging coming from engine. Appears to come from belts. My research suggested a faulty Harmonic Balancer?

Here is the video of it:

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks all.

Yep, bad balancer. Rubber coming apart. Take the belt off and grab the outer ring of the balancer and turn it. You'll understand.
