Flashback Friday – Voldemort and The Sectumsempras
The Sectumsempras and Voldemort teamed up for this heavily goth inspired track “Imperio (Under Control)”. Later, a few members of each band got together to continue a side project called Sigulum Serpentis, bringing even more goth and synth-inspired music to wrock. I’ll admit to being more of a fan of Voldemort’s guitar driven thrash sound…

Flashback Friday – Tom Riddle and Friends
The wizard rock world is a quieter place without the sweet, sweet crooning of these fine young gentlemen. One of the best wizard rock videos ever? Possibly. Possibly.

Flashback Friday – Thestral
Sectumsempra from Thestral on Myspace. That’s right, for this week’s Flashback Friday, it’s wizard rock’s original thrash metal band, Thestral!

The article, which is a bit tongue in cheek, discusses the rapid growth of…

For this week’s Wayback Machine visit, here’s a vid from our own Wizrocklopedia YouTube account featuring Split Seven Ways! Zoe is most likely still one of the most prolific wrockers, releasing a number of free albums from Split Seven Ways along with her side project, Pansy & The Gossip Queens as well as some muggle…

Flashback Friday – The Weasel King
This video pretty much needs no introduction. So it won’t get one. Just press play, watch, and listen. Love the song, love the performance, and love the integration of live loops with the playing and singing. Ah Weasel King, you can do no wrong…

Flashback Friday – Gred and Forge
In honor of what appears to be his farewell show this weekend at Wrockstock Reunited, here’s Jarrod of Gred and Forge ripping things up at Wrockstock 2008 (some of the earliest footage we could find of G&F on YouTube). On behalf of everyone here at the ‘pedia, thanks for the years of laughs, great music,…
