How to make Wizard Rock

[@Pagefire]

We made this video around a few days/weeks before J.K. went full terf-mode. We thought she would grow a brain and not make transphobia her personality. Boy were we wrong. Pagefire says: Trans Rights! We don't support transphobic authors or artist. We also don't support making unironic Wizard Rock, but you do you.

[@Theranthrope]

There's wisdom in "don't discuss politics and religion in mixed company" and trans ideology is both.

"A grindcore band headed by Dumbledore" *DUMBLECORE*

[@geekymetalhead5112]

*heavy breathing*

[@squishykotetsu]

Someone long beat you to that: There is a german youtuber who did a bunch of HP comedy dubs and edits. In those, Dumbledore is a gangster rapper going by the name of Fresh D. Said youtuber made, next to those dub-edit things, a couple of fresh D songs and albums, one of which is called Dumblecore. Her work is an absolutely essential part of german culture, not even kidding. Look her up if ya want: Coldmirror is the name

Ok, I'm going to start "Skyrim Power Metal" band.

[@francescosirotti8178]

So, basically, Viking Metal?

[@muhammadrezahaghiri]

@@francescosirotti8178 Haha, Yes. Viking Metal but with unrealistic theme of Tamriel and her people. P.S : Have you listened to "The Last Dragonborn" by DragonForce?

[@francescosirotti8178]

@@muhammadrezahaghiri hell yes. Miracle of Sound made actually good Skyrim themed songs.

[@md7556]

@@francescosirotti8178 no, isnt viking metal a variant of death metal, so very diffrent to power metal?

bro i will be your biggest fan

[@null-tp4qp]

I just so happen to live with Joe DeGeorge of Harry and The Potters, and I'm definitely gonna show him this video haha

[@thegreaterg8r148]

What did he think?

[@DrGodinho]

so....?

[@jaredgreer2437]

calling twilight "twoilet" = subtle comedic genius

[@dougbennett8592]

And that's why these guys rule!

[@jaredgreer2437]

Doug Bennett one of the many reasons. I love this channel. I'm so glad AL Gorithim suggested the making black metal video.

[@gonzalocruz4234]

A friend of mine called the Divergent saga "Detergent"

[@1996Simeman6991]

Pottörhead doesn't sound anything like Motörhead and now I'm sad :(

[@namebrandmason]

I'm mad they didn't call their album "No Sleep 'til Hogwarts." EDIT: Realized "No Sleep 'til Hogsmeade" is objectively better.

[@jutze]

I also often think that Pottörhead should sound much heavier, dirtier, rawer, etcer. And I'm their singer/guitarist! \m/ PS: No Sleep 'til Hogsmeade will be the live album that comes after our fourth studio record.

[@agnetalykins7564]

I'd legit listen to "AAAAAH" - Dementors. Sounded pretty good.

[@dannylucio6629]

I can't find it

[@dannylucio6629]

nvm

[@nickkohlmann]

I agree

[@Speenard]

I was just about to say the same thing. That was the tits

[@ragalyiakos]

I see we're continuing the trend of Andri writing a song in a specific genre as a joke and making something better than 99% of said genre.

[@deathlist94]

"No bones, no crime " Truly words to live by.

[@Thehellevator]

There is no way I could have predicted this genre. It never crossed my mind that this was even an option

[@wh4teley]

No joke, I'd listen to Goth Wizard Rock and Dementor Doom.

[@lilithrey3936]

Dis Manibus Sacrum same

[@sylph8005]

Fun fact: Harry Potter (the character) might have been inspired by Wayne Hussey, frontman of the gothic rock band the Mission

[@Thehellevator]

Also: LOVE the subtle "My Immortal" references here and there

[@SmugStick]

This is the strangest, best channel I’ve ever seen

[@GreyManFaustus]

That sounded weird to me and I play in an Elder Scrolls Rock Band.

[@RaunienTheFirst]

I am intrigued and would like to know more

@@RaunienTheFirst You can check my account for Skooma Cat. The latest 2 releases are about 10 videos in.

Theres even a Dungeon Synth band about Harry Potter

Also Mathcore Heck everything prog classifies

[@AnnTixEdits]

rubeos and the hagrids is now the 1st notable band mentioned on the wizard rock wikipedia page...

[@xXAlexOrWhateverXx]

If there were more wizard rock bands like this, I would actually listen to it more.

[@ravn4740]

you should post the songs on spotify, they are unironically great.

[@randomdudewholikesmusic1640]

4:53 I wish this was a full song. Those few seconds sound unironically great.

[@TheTwentySevenClub]

Now I need to make an emo Wrock album based off My Immortal. It will also be filled with spelling errors, horribly inconsistent melodies and themes as well as tone, and finally I will play the lead character-singer, Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. I don't think I have the legs for fishnets but fuck it, I'm committed to the music damn it!

[@sabershenanigans]

Oh hell yes! Bonus points if you can set entire sections of the text to music for the songs!

[@HerrLinden]

Thanks for pointing your finger on yet another genre that maybe shouldn’t exist I like it though Your video, I mean

[@ChopSueyyy]

4:47 I need this in my life

[@Lynwood_Jackson]

That was actually way cooler than I thought it was going to be. You should actually pursue this and get on that band list.

[@SixSixthSix]

That gothic post punk part was gold! Thank for the videos!!!

[@gingercore69]

Love this... Never ever heard of wizzard rock before .. but you clearly got a fan for this project man... Loved it

[@RND_ADV_X]

Wow I really like your sense of humor! This is the most I've laughed at a you tube channel in a while.

[@Testgeraeusch]

There is a subculture of Harry Potter parodies in Germany spawned around youtuber "coldmirror" in the mid 2000s. It feautures 2 3/4 shitpost-synchros (the third was shut down mid production by copyright issues), several audio books, one spinoff being called "Draco and the Malfoys", a collection of trained AIs attempting to re-writing the novels for fun and the Harry Podcast, a 14 1/2 hour podcast which analysis every single frame of the first HP movie... and after a bit over 5 years of production it is at 1:35:00. Also, she (yes, coldmirror is a girl) has a few virtual music project spinoffx fromt eh synchros... Fresh D (weird rap), Die schwarzen untoten blutgetränkten Waschlappen (weird goth metal) and i probably forgot a few. Also, since she's been around for so long and is not slowly approaching her late 30s other german youtubers call her "Mom" or the fairy godmother of youtube.

[@sallbanjoman1790]

for anyone curious there is a black metal band dedicated to Harry Potter called Slytherin... not even kidding, its awesome
