@@CyberwizardProductions It wasn't a livestream but this guy is talking about the release which wind rose actually covered: th-cam.com/video/ytWz0qVvBZ0/w-d-xo.html
So if you don't know or haven't heard this songs origins is traced back to a British TH-cam video game channel called the Yogscast. The time of this whole thing starting they where playing Minecraft and one of the channel hosts suggested making a jaunty song for dwarves to sing when they mine. The other host came up with the "I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole diggy diggy hole" lyrics. Either a year or more passed and it was turned into a full song. Afterwards it was covered and then eventually picked up by these guys who did a fantastic version of it.
I think this is just simply a fun song and being metal makes it even better. The only thing I would have added is a guitar solo ala Powerwolf. I'm a little surprised that you guys didn't compare this to Gloryhammer, they are as tongue-in-cheek as it gets.
What I would have LOVED was if they included a Hurdy Gurdy in there in the melodic ... it'd have the deep rumble and the chime that would compliment this cover soooo well.
Check out their Stonehymn album. It is Tolkien inspired power metal with intricate vocals and well above the average lyrics. It was really the best musical surprise of the year for me so far, especially Dance of Fire and The Returning Race.
If i recall correctly this was originally a satiral song of the game Minecraft that eventually became this from several others covering and mixing the song. This is by far the best version.
My first reaction to this was near enough exactly the same as yours: "why is this a thing....." and then within 40 seconds I was singing "Diggy Diggy Hole" Definitely fun. Hopefully not the way music is going.
Well it's a cover of a popular internet song that started from a joke and both it and the original has more soul then most shit in the mainstream music scene.
Well the cool part I think is it opens the ancient art of smithing to the public and for anyone who doesnt smith, they were making a shovel throughout that video, which makes sense because of song "diggy diggy hole"
Well, that was fun. I was skeptical at first, but it was a bit of an earworm and by the end I was practically singing along. Nothing amazing, but a catchy bit of fun that's I'll probably find myself humming later today. Recommendations: Atlas Pain - To the Moon (th-cam.com/video/Qi_vRS1c6kI/w-d-xo.html). Melodic death metal with a bit of a bouncy quality to it (folk/power metal influences?). The music video is a bit silly. Aether Realm - The Chariot (th-cam.com/video/UsHhRskvVxQ/w-d-xo.html). More melodic death metal, this song is reminiscient of Children of Bodom, though the album includes other songs with influences ranging from doom to prog. I'll just keep recommending these guys until either I or this channel die :P (also, The Paralydium Project says they'll be putting out a major update "soon", so fingers crossed that we'll get more prog rock goodness)
All I have to say about this one is.........yes but in a very sarcastic way, If you want to hear where this comes from but in a much better and more professional way check out The Apocalypse Orchestra And “The Garden Of Earthly Delights And you’ll see what I mean.
I loved that song when came out, but I really don't get the comparison with my band :D If this comment is about who made "folk metal", intending that they did this stuff as first you are terribly wrong. If you want to listen where do we come from check Turisas, Ensiferum, Wintersun (2004-2011)
Well the lyrics themselves are somewhat metallic no pun intended they literally say "skin made of iron,steel in the bone" and really dwarfs are the berserker type tanks with huge axes in each hand or with fantasy shotgun in my imagination from what i heard at least i would say they are most metallic race and add the part where they always do whatever they want
Wind rose are an OK rock group dwelling in Middle earth . Mindcratf is where this song started it life with Simon & yogscast There was goingto be a game but people got Mugged off by Yogscast yet somehow they did not loose their fans over it . now feeling sad I know this stuff lol . do more wind rose they are worth a another chance :)
stacey bashford they weren’t mugged off by the yogscast. A studio came to the yogscast and the yogscast endorses them. Over time deadlines weren’t met and money was always a problem. Eventually the project fell through and it is believed that one of the people working on the project pocketed the Kickstarter money for himself as he bought a brand BMW shortly after production stopped. The failure of the project was largely not the yogscasts fault
Thanks for the video reaction, I hope you'll hear more about us in the future =)
Stupenda... anche se la mia preferita rimane "To Erebor".
Loved your band for a few years now :)
Thanks guys :)
Man, you guys are awsome! Hope to catch you live at some point!

Would love to see your reaction to the original :P and you comapring the original to the metal version.
Diggy Diggy Hole by the Yogscast :D

Bringing me back to middle school when yogscast was still making their survival lets play videos. I loved those videos
OH Shadow of Israphel?
I love coming back and watching everyone's reaction to this video because of how happy everyone gets no matter how serious they are trying to be.
You'd be surprised at the 'animation' of the original.
by original, do you mean the live stream where they were playing minecraft?

I like that you don't interrupt the song and only give your opinion afterwards.
They are a real band from Italy. I will get to see them at Prog Power USA in September and I hope they play this. It is just fun.
Such good fun! That they manage to hold straight faces throughout is amazing! hehe
Look up "The Evolution of Diggy Diggy Hole" on TH-cam for the history of this addictive song!

You've got to admire someone who can sing the words 'diggy diggy hole' so seriously.
It's not 'Death Metal' it's 'Dwarf Metal'!
If i recall correctly this was originally a satiral song of the game Minecraft that eventually became this from several others covering and mixing the song. This is by far the best version.
Nope. It was a Yogscast meme turned into a full song that they made.
I love their "Drunken Dwarves" and "The Returning Race".... continues the theme... thanks for reacting!
I dig it!
Good grief 😬
@@PNW I fought the urge... and lost.

This band a Tolkien theme band about dwarves... this was just a cover, they were having fun... their original stuff is amazing

Yes please do more podcasts!!
Love this band
Then you should stay tuned (spoiler)
@@PNW you should check out Pain Of Salvation - Iter Impius And Martius Nauticus II LIVE. It's 2 songs in 1 video and SO WORTH IT
Nice one for Carnaval. Once heard this it doesn't get really fast out of your mind.
That's because Simon from yogcast wrote the original version well
Memories of my childhood... I want to be a child again
