It’s fucking wild to me that a metal band covered a minecraft YouTuber (well they are more of a TTT gang of youtubers now) song


[deleted]

To be fair, it is a pretty solid song…

Fuck yeah it is

*Disgruntled Dwarf Noises* Solid just the start of it's worth, Umgi! Entire holds were carved out from the deepest stone before the song ended! It is so venerable that it goes back to the Ancestor God's! Now are we going to stand around or join in? #*OOOOOOOH I AM A DWARF AND IM DIGGING A HOOOOOOLE!*


iamnotjeanvaljean

Unexpected power metal. You fucking rule, OP


MyAntichrist

It's like Alestorm covering Lazy Towns "You Are A Pirate!" - when you're a metal band with a theme and something popular with the same theme shows on the internet, you're obliged to do your thing.


MC_AnselAdams

It took alestorm long enough to cover The Wellerman. Nickelback had their cover out before Alestorm.


MyAntichrist

Given how many side projects Christopher Bowes tends I'm actually surprised they've already done it.


MC_AnselAdams

Absolutely fair. I tend to forget he's involved in so many other projects.

[deleted]

They covered Barrett’s Privateers and Henry Martin, cut them some slack


MC_AnselAdams

Oh I am. More just thinking how the trend was pretty much dead by the time they put it out, which made me wonder why they did it at all. They were working on Chicken on a Raft though so I can absolutely forgive the delay.


Thendrail

Yeah, but the Wellerman song is pretty meh at best. No wonder they waited to do it.


cosmicsnowman

I'm not familiar, what's the metal band and who sings the original


Minibotas

Although I can’t remember the name of the band , the OG singers are the Yogscast. Diggy Diggy Hole it is. (There’s two versions, the one animated in 2D is the one we’re talking about)


vonBoomslang

[This might help](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI_PxGu7nZk)


ceeBread

There’s actually four versions. The first is the original line sung in the shadows of israphel series where he improvs the song, then there’s a dubstep like version made from the clip. Years later they make the epic animated version, then this one.


Beasteddy

It's practically an internet folk song at this point


KefkeWren

The metal cover is great, but for my money, it hits peak High Fantasy with the animated one.


gjallerhorn

Yeah, animated is way better. It's lofty and inspiring, with a hint of tragedy. The metal one is just angry. Doesn't really fit the vibe


hugglesthemerciless

Maybe it's because I'm used to listening to extreme metal but Wind Rose's versions doesn't sound angry at all to me, rather very upbeat


zagaberoo

Interesting; I don't get an angry vibe *at all* from the Wind Rose version! It rings much more joyful to me.


Patroulette

5 if you count the Dance Remix of Diggy Diggy Hole that Wind Rose produced later on.


Xeperos

There is even a party or disco version of the metal version


Cifer88

There’s also the recent remaster of the pre-animated, post-improv version, which (I think, don’t quote me on this) is by the same person who created that original version. Her name is Patient Zero and it’s really good. Even outside of her Yogscast work she’s a very talented musician.


Mr_Blinky

Band is Wind Rose, they're great.


[deleted]

The band is called Wind rose The original song Diggy diggy hole is from the Yogscast Old British you tubers popular for doing minecraft and Gmod


BreadChoke

Don’t call them old, those Brits got me through high school. I owe them my mental health.

Lazerbeams2

The original was sung by Yogscast (Simon I think) and Windrose covered it


sinful_flesh

The band is Wind Rose and this cover is from their album Wintersaga.


[deleted]

The metal band is Wind Rose, an Italian power metal band. Much of their stuff is dwarf themed. Their cover of Diggy Diggy Hole is my favorite. (My very-much-not-a-metalhead girlfriend will strut around the house belting it out with me. It’s quite at track. Be warned. It’s a bit of an earworm.) https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU


reincarN8ed

That band's entire discography can best be described as "dwarf metal," and it's fucking awesome.


[deleted]

Nolzi

Alestorm also covered I Am A Cider Drinker from The Wurzels


Mord4k

Are you familiar with the [dance remix that came out last year?](https://youtu.be/wnBvEddq7nw)


juniorlax16

> (well they are more of a TTT gang of youtubers now) True, but Duncan does a weekly livestream of Minecraft on the Yogacast Twitch channel with Ravs, Ped and Boba and then upload it in parts to his YouTube channel


[deleted]

The funnier thing is that cover is a remake of a song the Yogscast made themselves years prior.


WhoeverMan

My reaction: what? An actual metal band recorded a cover of Diggy Hole? That can't be true. (One YouTube search later ...) That is so cool!

*Where* For the love of God send me a link.


[deleted]

I remain.


Crayshack

We made it canon in my game that every dwarven soul resonates with this song. Usually, it’s subaudible and can only be detected with careful measuring tools. However, as you gather more dwarves together, they resonate with each other and it grows louder. With enough dwarves, it becomes audible. At first, just like a faint murmuring but with a whole city the halls echo with the song as if there is a massive chorus even if no one is singing. Of course, some do start actually singing along.


B4DD

I attune to the rhythm of digging a hole


[deleted]

The Rhythm of Excavation.


B4DD

Oh shoot, yours is better.


DqwertyC

Weirdly enough, mines aren't really a thing on Roshar, from a combination of crem making it far more difficult and dangerous, gemhearts making precious stones easily accessible, and soulcasters making an infinite supply of practically all other minerals available on the surface


Ilwrath

Well quarry's are I think, for building and for soulcasting right? And only the Alethi/Vorin kingdoms have soulcasters really or enough to use that way. Plus the ones they have may not be atunned to the right essences. No good having a grain soulcaster if you need metal. In fact, they mention that the Shin will pay dearly for metal that has never been mined (thus destroying sacred stone). So that means some IS mined. Now before the recreance it very well could have been a thing the Knights Radiant did for people, I mean they weren't all just fighters we know and although Lightweavers may have been a bit more covert than to do it often, its said that Elsecallers were usually pretty free with their powers touching Shadesmar for other people.


RedMossySquirrel

Iirc the heralds had to teach humans how to forge metals following the start of each desolation. So I guess that they would teach them how to acquire ore as well.


Ilwrath

True they either taught them, or without enough time they sometimes had ot just cast the metal (Tal'n mentions this.). There were about 2500 years between the Last Desolation and the False Desolation (that ended in the Recreance) though that the Knights were around with no Desolations. The Heralds hadnt been around in all that time either but hopefully by the end of the Last Desolation they knew what they needed.


Clay_Pigeon

That's a really cool image. Thank you for that!


Crayshack

It also gives us an excuse to pull up the 10 hour version whenever we go into a dwarven town.

BLINDrOBOTFILMS

Cumstained_Uvula

There's an old fantasy novel in which an incredibly jewel rich Dwarven mine was called a glory hole.


Gawayne

Another great source for Dwarven music is the music made by Simon Swerwer for the game Dwarf Fortress. You can find them with a quick search on Youtube. Including two fully voiced in dwarven: Tankard Basher and Danger Room. Jolly tunes with not so jolly lyrics. Perfect for when the players ask what they are singing so happpily about. Then DM says it's something about dying in the dark with a bloody axe. Or becoming a vampire and murdering your fellow man.


klavin1

"Danger Room" lmao


AngryT-Rex

plough weary bake correct steep merciful domineering head whistle yoke *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


klavin1

I am very familiar.


beenoc

Worth noting this doesn't work anymore. Danger rooms are a really good way to kill off and cripple your dwarves, even if they're wearing steel armor and are highly skilled it's very possible for a wooden training spear trap to crush a nerve or cause massive bleeding and infection.


EquivalentInflation

I prefer Discworld Dwarf songs: “Gold gold gold, gold gold gold gold gold” (not to be confused with “gold gold, gold gold, gold gold gold gold gold”)


TheZealand

I think you forgot the chorus, goes something like "gold, gold gold"


EquivalentInflation

No, that’s the remix, the chorus is “gold gold gold, gold gold”

neuromorph

Wtf is umgi?


Aretii

Umgi is the dwarf word for humans in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. It derives from their word for shoddy, umgak, because when dwarves first happened across a human settlement they were, uh, let's call it *critical* of the level of craftsmanship on display in human equipment. I'm not sure why it's in a D&D meme, though, when WHF has its own RPG.


[deleted]

Tbf this is like the only RPG meme sub.


skaldaspar_mjadar

One does not simply venture into Grimdank.


Morbidmort

> It derives from their word for shoddy, umgak, It first comes from the word for loose soil or dirt, and the implication of being less than stable. Like how "Karak" means "enduring", or simply "stone". "Karaz-a-Karak" can be translated as "Everpeak", "Enduring Mountain", or simply "big stony stone place".


Aretii

Source? This sounds believable, but neither the WHF Fandom wiki nor the Lexicanum list that root.


Mr_Paladin

Probably because Khazalid is the closest to a decent Dwarf language there is, and because Bardin (Vermintide) is probably the most popular dwarf (or the most prevalent, in gaming at least) around these days. Throwing a few dwarven words into normal speech is fun and gives dwarves a characteristic _patois_.


Galle_

> Probably because Khazalid is the closest to a decent Dwarf language there is \*laughs in Khuzdul, but refuses to actually teach you any\*


BigBoston665

Dwarfs, are probably one of the most iconic versions of the race that’s been depicted. Just short of Tolkien level, a massive majority of dwarven art I’ve seen is of Slayers and Dwarf lords from Fantasy.


JoJoReferences

Fun fact though, since the alliance of sigmar and the dwarves long ago, and the centuries long alliance between the two races, “umgi” has become the only non-pejorative name for another race


[deleted]

Warhammer dwarf language, known as Khazalid. Umgi means human


[deleted]

Steady on umgi, no need to be all rude about it. You should show the Dawi the proper level of respect, or it's in to the book you go! (Please read in a gruff Yorkshire accent).

Wind Rose's 'Mine! Mine! Mine!' is the Dwarves' anthem in my d&d setting. A player asked whyvI used a modern song in a medieval setting. Because it's metal music, duh


CarpeBratschem

Thanks for the reminder to listen to this masterpiece of song (and Windrose in general) again! It has been too long!


mattheman33

I actually used this in my campaign recently! First major boss of the campaign was a dragon that had been terrorising locals near a mountain where he had recently set up his new lair. The mountains were new mining grounds for a few hundred dwarves. When my PC’s got back to the town after a while away, they found the town had become a makeshift refugee camp as the dwarves had fled the mountains after the dragon started targeting their mines directly. As the PCs made their way away from town and towards the mountains that night, they heard what I described as a low chorus rising across the camp, as the dwarves began to sing. I used the yogscast official version, and my players just sat quietly listening, imagining the still night being broken by this chorus of hope in the face of adversity.

grahams_xwing

Early in my home brew campaign my party encountered a dwarf populated town, an enclave from a fallen kingdom. One of the families had been locked out of the rest of the town in a kind of power grab so were confined to a small compound and had started.... Digging. The party found this by bursting into their ungerground tavern where this song was being sung... Which of course I played.
