This performance of the iconic Game of Thrones TV series opening theme happened during the changing of the guards outside Buckingham Palace. I speculate this doesn’t happen very often as there would be more YouTube footage of it. A stroke of luck then that Omer Barnea had a great view and was recording from the […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
Portal Turrets sing “Game of Thrones”
As it turned out there was some interest in the Ska version of Game of Thrones‘ iconic opening theme. So; could it get any stranger? There’s Game of Turrets. The vocals here are by the video’s creator Harry Callaghan and if you’re a true fan you can download the tune at Bandcamp. If you’re musically […]
The Game of Thrones theme transformed into ska
Ska is a Jamacian music genre that started in the 50s. I know it from the so-called Second Wave and Third Waves of the 70s and 80s with bands like Madness. By the the 90s ska had made it to the United States and now ska has made it to Game of Thrones thanks to […]
Akira’s theme with a classical twist and cosplay topping
This is the first post on a YouTube channel called Player Piano. Got to say; it looks interesting. The channel is focused on Sonya Belousova, a piano player, and in this video she brings with her musical friends all cosplaying Akira. She also brings Eru Matsumoto who uses a neon bow for her electric cello […]
This is a thing: Batmetal
It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]
Bannerman – A Game of Throne / Piano Man parody
I’ll admit to having a lot of love for Billy Joel’s Piano Man. That’s the easy part. What about Gregor Clegane fro a Song of Ice and Fire? Yup; we’re talking about Game of Thrones’ The Mountain. Not so much love. This tribute mashup from Grombar Smash tells the story of the Bannerman. If you […]
Dungeon crawling music: Within The Land Of My Imagination I Am The Only God
Geek Native’s featured the music of Erang before as the sort of music suitable for game night. Call it what you want – and Erang uses both “Dungeon Synth” and “Medieval Fantasy” – this is music inspired by The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion and old movies like Conan, the Dark Crystal and […]
All In Together: Time travelling, steampunk, British rap
Professor Elemental is a British rapper with a twist. The twist? He’s a steampunk influenced, time-travelling adventurer with a monkey butler. His latest video is out today and for “All In Togther” from the album The Giddy Limit. Directed by Moog Gravett the video was shot at the Wild West Con at Old Tuscon Studios, […]
Nameless World mixes electro rock and Zombillenium monsters
Here’s a good idea. To promote the graphic novel Zombillenium: Gretchen the talented Arthur de Pins created the music video Nameless World. I’m allowed to be jealous anyone who can write and draw their own graphic novel about an amusement park run by monsters and who can then put together an animated music video to […]
Mastodon’s music video full of RPG and LARP
Out of the blue Mastodon’s music video for “High Road” features a geeky kid who stays at home to look after his gran. He’s also a roleplayer with an active imagination and a LARPer. As a metal video expect a couple of real-life twists. Worth a watch, I say.
