I Did It For You – A Dumbledore and Harry Potter Wizard Rock Song | NERD ROCK "I knew I was condemning you to pain, but I believed it was the only way." In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter , few relationships are as complex, emotional, and layered with secrecy as that of Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. "I Did It For You" is our tribute to that bond—a song that explores the weight of sacrifice, the burden of leadership, and the moral ambiguity that defined Dumbledore’s choices. The Inspiration Behind the Song Throughout the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore is both mentor and manipulator—guiding Harry while keeping vital truths from him. He carries guilt for past mistakes and makes painful decisions to ensure Voldemort’s downfall, even when it means sending Harry into danger. "I Did It For You" is written from Dumbledore’s perspective—his reflections, regrets, and justifications. It’s a somber yet powerful track, built around emotional melodies ...

Melancholy King – Elric of Melniboné Inspired Song (Michael Moorcock) "A cursed blade, a dying empire, and a king who longs for freedom..." Few characters in fantasy literature embody tragedy like Elric of Melniboné , the doomed albino emperor of a fading empire. Created by Michael Moorcock , Elric is a sorcerer-king, a reluctant ruler, and a pawn in the eternal war between Law and Chaos. Unlike the conquerors and warriors of traditional sword & sorcery tales, Elric is introspective, tormented by his own nature and the dark fate that binds him to his soul-devouring sword, Stormbringer . "Melancholy King" is our tribute to Elric’s sorrowful tale—a song about the weight of destiny, the struggle for identity, and the price of power. The Inspiration Behind the Song Elric’s story is one of loss. He is the last ruler of Melniboné , an ancient civilization in decline, drowning in decadence and cruelty. Unlike his ancestors, Elric is plagued by morality, questioni...

Castle on the Edge of Chaos – Elric Inspired Dungeonsynth (Michael Moorcock) | NERD ROCK "Beyond the castle walls lies the howling void of Chaos..." Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné saga is filled with haunting landscapes, tragic destinies, and the eternal struggle between Law and Chaos. One of the most evocative locations in the series is Castle Kaneloon , a fortress resting at the very border of reality. Mentioned in Weird of the White Wolf , this mysterious stronghold is a place where the forces of Chaos swirl just beyond the walls, threatening to spill into existence. Castle on the Edge of Chaos is our tribute to this eerie, otherworldly setting—a dungeonsynth instrumental that captures its dark majesty and the eternal battle at its threshold. The Inspiration Behind the Song Castle Kaneloon stands at the edge of the world, where the structured reality of Law dissolves into the swirling, unpredictable madness of Chaos. It is a place of strange power, a refuge an...

Faded Age – A Prince Corum Song (Moorcock's Eternal Champion) | NERD ROCK "The old gods fall, the new ones rise, and the Champion fights on through the ages." Michael Moorcock’s Eternal Champion saga is filled with tragic heroes bound to fate, but few are as sorrowful and complex as Prince Corum Jhaelen Irsei . Known as the Prince in the Scarlet Robe, Corum is a reluctant champion, a survivor of genocide, and a warrior caught between dying ages and cruel gods. "Faded Age" is our tribute to his tale—a song about loss, destiny, and the relentless passage of time. The Inspiration Behind the Song Corum’s journey is one of grief and transformation. As the last of his people, the Vadhagh, he is thrust into an age where his kind is fading, and brutal forces of Chaos reshape the world. Unlike Elric, who carries a cursed sword, Corum is transformed by another grim fate—his hand and eye taken, replaced with arcane artifacts that tie him even further to the whims of ...

Starlight – A Song Inspired by the Creation of the Elves in The Silmarillion | NERD ROCK "Under the first stars, they awoke—fair and deathless, bound to the music of the world." Before the rise of the Sun and Moon, before the mighty kingdoms of Men, there were the Elves—the Firstborn of Ilúvatar, awakened beneath the starlit skies of Middle-earth. "Starlight" is our tribute to the birth of the Elves as told in The Silmarillion , J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic myth of creation, destiny, and the beauty of Arda’s earliest days. The Inspiration Behind the Song Long before the familiar events of The Lord of the Rings , the Elves were the first children of Eru Ilúvatar, awakening by the shores of Cuiviénen, bathed in the light of the stars. Guided by the Valar, shaped by fate, and caught in the grand conflict of Morgoth’s defiance, their story is one of wonder and sorrow, of beauty and tragedy. "Starlight" captures the moment of their awakening—when they first ope...

Cursed For Eternity – A Ladyhawke Inspired Song | NERD ROCK "Together, yet forever apart—the cruelest fate of all." Few love stories are as tragic and enchanting as the tale of Ladyhawke . A timeless fantasy film that blends romance, adventure, and dark magic, Ladyhawke tells the story of Etienne Navarre and Isabeau d'Anjou—two lovers cursed to never be together, trapped between day and night. "Cursed For Eternity" is our musical tribute to their heartbreaking fate and the undying love that binds them.
