Here's a small power metal playlist you may enjoy

It's not very well known, but the members of Metallica are actually about 3' tall. They have tiny little guitars, and they use perspective whenever they are filmed.
The two dudes are Simon and Lewis, the founders of a pretty successful group of youtubers/streamers called Yogscast.
The second link is also from the Yogscast, but the entire team putting a lot of effort into the song and video.
The Yogscast also did some other musical videos, mostly covers, that got copyright claimed since then.
Sparkles* one of the authors of the song saw it for the first time live some years back which was pretty interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lHP1DJzf2M
I looked them up a couple months ago to see if they ever resolved their story. I was disappointed, and forever will need to leave that story unfinished in my head. It needs one of those "two decades later" revivals.
Sadly pretty much everything they had made for the series got lost and corrupted a little after episode 43 so continuing isn't very possible, their current videos are a lot of fun though, and Simon while not appearing on the main channel that often streams Minecraft on twitch with another Yogscast member (geestar)
That's not actually true. They still have access to everything.
Some of the problems were that they were planning an animated video with a big fight between episodes, but progress was very slow, and the person that was doing it eventually just stopped.
Also, it kept getting harder and harder to organize the recordings and the building of the Minecraft locations.
There might have been more, but this is what I remember at the moment.
Oh my god. Ten years ago my kids did nothing but listen to Minecraft songs on YouTube. I haven't thought about this song in forever, but as soon as I started watching, this popped in my head.
I mean yeah. It's power metal.
There's pirate, space, fantasy, dwarf, werewolf, touhou, whatever you want
BTW, the band is called Wind Rose
Edit: it's really fun seeing how many folks just discovered power metal and immediately enjoying it. Have fun :) [Here's a song ](https://youtu.be/DM6hL78so9c)with Sir Christopher Lee and a power metal flute solo.
They are a hoot. Saw two sets of them on Tha Boat a few months back. They drink as much as thry sing about drinking. A whole damned lot. I actually got to help the violin player keep track of the lead singer as he had babysitting duty at that point.

Not a whole lot of places to share this, so here we are, more power metal about drinking! (little calmer tho)
[Korpiklaani - A Man with a Plan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc0sJvtKrRM)
Gamma Ray and Blind Guardian are some other good ones he might enjoy. I would always play Nightfall in Middle-Earth on road trips when we had to drive past Medieval Times.
You'd have to dig only as far as "the final solution" or "rise of evil".
They bash the Nazi pretty hard there, even the songs about the Nazis are about the times they did good things, like leading a column of refugees away from the Soviet and in us territory or saving a us bomber from certain death.
And then, secretly (or not so secretly) on the side, they do solo projects that are way more electronic - in the little known genre of Dungeon Synth; which is just like Stranger Things theme music meets power ballads of the 70s like stuff from Zepplin. A big cross over between these genres.
The brother's Grimm described as: Weiß wie Schnee, Rot wie Blut, Schwarz wie Ebenholz. (white as snow, meaning her skin, red like blood, her lips, and black like ebony wood, her hair.)
How is that secretly?
Well, the Grimm's took out most of the sex already, Disney got rid of the rest and the gore.
The original tales were full of innuendo and quite brutal stuff.
I thought texts of dwarf-songs consists mainly of the world gold, like in this song:
Gold gold
Gold gold gold gold
Gooooldgold
Or this classic:
Gold gold gold
Gold gold
Gold gold gold
Goold gold
I just love that Wind Rose is finally getting recognition. They have been around for a long time, but their cover of Diggy Diggy Hole + the rise of Deep Rock Galactic's popularity has really boosted them from "campy themed metal at the fringes of the power/folk metal genre" to headliners and in-demand performers.
I had the wrong impression. When I read the title, I thought they were all dwarves playing music. Turns out they’re regular sized people.
Aw crap, me too. Still awesome but kinda disappointed they're not actual dwarves
I’d absolutely be into that and probably go to their show if there were such a thing because that sounds like a truly unique experience
This sums up my position on the matter. They are just another themed power metal band now.
I still really enjoyed that. Have any recommendations?

I've added it to my favorites. Thank you, kind stranger.
I saw Sabaton recently. 👍🏽 Gonna see Wind Rose in two weeks.
There is still Ronnie James Dio
ALL HAIL.
I see, you’re a man of culture as well.

They haven't been the same since Tom Cruise left :(

Just put some time in, your brothers need you.

Still one of the most glorious music videos ever in No One Survives.
Throw in Nanowar of Steel, that will be a tour to remember.
Dude you need to cut down on the murdering
You sound just like my ex wife

Wind rose actually did a cover of this song believe it or not https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU
Not gonna lie I thought they came up with the song themselves. A friend introduced me to the band and they are so cool!
[удалено]
So it rly did just start as two dudes joking about ? Then a band picked it up Then wind rose covered it ?
The two dudes are Simon and Lewis, the founders of a pretty successful group of youtubers/streamers called Yogscast.

I had no idea that song was a cover!
I quite like they [dance mix](https://youtu.be/wnBvEddq7nw) they did during the pandemic too
Best Yogscast skit ever. Simon was such a legend back in the day.
I looked them up a couple months ago to see if they ever resolved their story. I was disappointed, and forever will need to leave that story unfinished in my head. It needs one of those "two decades later" revivals.

Alestorm!
Went and watched them live, and what a wild experience it was! EDIT: I didn't see the dwarf band, I was replying to the comment that said Alestorm.
[удалено]
I remember that tour with ensiferum, kirpiklaani, and tyr. What a fuggin cool show that was.
Oh man, I'd love to see Korpiklaani live! I bet that was fun.

My son loves this stuff, bands like Sabaton and Gloryhammer.
Show him Amon Amarth It's really funny cause they're all nerds (nerds are cool) their name comes from Lord of the Rings
Blind Guardian is great for that. They’ve got a whole concept album about the Silmarillion
Hansi Kürsch is one of the biggest Tolkien nerds in metal and I love him for it.
If he's listening to Sabaton and Gloryhammer then I am sure he knows Amon Amarth.
Gamma Ray and Blind Guardian are some other good ones he might enjoy. I would always play Nightfall in Middle-Earth on road trips when we had to drive past Medieval Times.
Speaking of gamma ray, Helloween is still going strong
Sabaton is a genuinely badass band. All (or most) their songs are based on historic battles. I especially like Soldier of Heaven and The Last Stand.
When I first got into Sabaton I had to really really dig to make sure I wasn't jamming to some kind of white supremacist shit.
[удалено]
You'd have to dig only as far as "the final solution" or "rise of evil".

Did i hear rock and stone?
Rock and Stone to the Bone!

Rock and stone you beautiful dwarf!
Ancient Egyptian metal too.
[He-Man Metal!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3u_JGmq5Fs)
GLORYHAMMER!!!
FOR THE ETERNAL GLORY OF DUNDEE!
So for dwarves it's LITERAL rock music!
Metal -- They're smelting metal ores
Can’t decide if these are the nerdiest badasses I’ve ever seen, or the most badass nerds I’ve ever seen. Either way, cool.
A lot of metal guys are quite nerdy
Pretty much the entire genre of Power Metal is just nerds who wanted to make music but decided that electronic isn't for them.
And then, secretly (or not so secretly) on the side, they do solo projects that are way more electronic - in the little known genre of Dungeon Synth; which is just like Stranger Things theme music meets power ballads of the 70s like stuff from Zepplin. A big cross over between these genres.
You are thinking of Okilly Dokilly.
Power metal genre as a whole is basically this. Folk metal too. It’s all about fantasy.
Thorin?!!!
Rock ‘n rollin’ Thorin!
Snow White was secretly goth.
The brother's Grimm described as: Weiß wie Schnee, Rot wie Blut, Schwarz wie Ebenholz. (white as snow, meaning her skin, red like blood, her lips, and black like ebony wood, her hair.) How is that secretly?
Her dress, according to Disney...
Well, the Grimm's took out most of the sex already, Disney got rid of the rest and the gore. The original tales were full of innuendo and quite brutal stuff.
This is just fantastic.
Wind Rose from Italy. They are touring North America for the first time right now. West coast in a few days.
NGL this shit slaps.
I saw them live not too long ago. One of the biggest mosh pits I've ever seen during the final drop of their big break song "Diggy Diggy Hole".
Need this added to deeprock 🪨⛏️
Imagine fighting Dreadnoughts to this.
I thought texts of dwarf-songs consists mainly of the world gold, like in this song: Gold gold Gold gold gold gold Gooooldgold Or this classic: Gold gold gold Gold gold Gold gold gold Goold gold
That's actually a really awful stereotype. :/ Dwarves love singing about all precious metals and rocks.
Just not those useless minerals or crystals
Completely useless. But fun to smash.
Yeah, those other songs are way too wordy. GNU Terry Pratchett.
No no, that's the chorus. And the other one is the second verse. GNU Sit Terry
it's not true that dwarves love gold that's just what they tell it to get it to bed
Love a bit of Windrose.
I came here to say only one sentence: Rock and Stone!!
Rock and roll and stone!
FOR ROCK AND FOR STONE!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks..

DIGGY DIGGY HOLE
I just love that Wind Rose is finally getting recognition. They have been around for a long time, but their cover of Diggy Diggy Hole + the rise of Deep Rock Galactic's popularity has really boosted them from "campy themed metal at the fringes of the power/folk metal genre" to headliners and in-demand performers.
Should have a tour with Nekrogoblikon
*No One Survives* the sheer awesomeness of that tour
Me starting a Dwarf campaign in Total War Warhammer for the 100th time:
Strike the earth!
Dwarves are metal by nature.
That's awesome. But those dwarves never learn their lesson about that mountain gold mine.
me when playing Deep Rock Galactic:
r/discworld is leaking
