Yep, it's mentioned in the Names article Silicon referenced earlier in this thread. Eidos' pre-release info listed six Fallen Lords - Bahl'al, The Voiceless One, Soulblighter, The Faceless Man, Bonesplitter, and The Deceiver - lead by the evil demigod Ashfear. Now we have The Watcher, Soulblighter, The Deceiver, Shiver, and two others we never see, lead by Balor. So Balor is not one of the six Fallen Lords, he is their leader. And that's the way it is, because Stone C... er, because Forrest said so! ;-)
