Saw this notice on Wizrocklopedia [[livejournal.com profile] wizrocklopedia]: Yet another example of what wizard rockers are doing to decrease worldsuck:
Upon learning about families and children affected by natural disasters across the world, Megan, from The Wizard Rockumentary, and Mark, from Marked As His Equal, decided they wanted to help. Megan and Mark created From Beneath These Ashes, a 2-disc Wizard Rock compilation featuring over 30 Wizard Rock bands, and spanning both "light" and "dark" themes.

All of the proceeds from the compilation will go to Save the Children, "the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world.” Save the Children continues to help children and families who have been affected by disasters in our country, like hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast, and all over the world, such as the cyclones in Myanmar.

From Beneath These Ashes features previously unreleased songs from The Remus Lupins, Catchlove, House of Black, Draco and the Malfoys, and many other awesome Wizard Rock bands. There will be a limited run of hard copy CDs, so don’t forget to preorder! After the hard copies have run out, the compilation will remain online for purchase to continue raising funds.

Whether you see yourself singing along to the "light" side, rocking out to the "dark" side, or you just want to get an amazing CD in exchange for helping families in need, From Beneath These Ashes is sure to please.

See the track list here. Preorders are open now. You can reserve your copy here.
Yes, I ordered my copy, which is what I did today to make the world a better place.

Christian Caldera of Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls has announced he's going to coming out with four EPs, one for each Hogwarts House. The Slytherin EP has been released and you can get it by ordering from his MySpace page, or you can get it from him at Portus, since he's going to be playing there. Judging from the one song from it he's got up on his player, "Flight of the Prince," I'm planning on getting it. (I loved his previous CDs).

Geez, Mark Wischkaemper of Marked as His Equal has announced he won't be coming to Portus because he has cancer. His prognosis is excellent, however, but I'll be very sorry not to see him there.

The Parselmouths have announced they're working on a new album, and I think the amusing "Voldemort Fangirl" which is downloadable at their MySpace page, will be on it. They've been working with Ministry of Magic to record their album which is a good sign (they appeared on Ministry of Magic's "Goodbye Privet Drive," which is just as awesome as I knew it would be).

I've run across him before, but this was the first day I really stopped to listen to Marked as His Equal (which is a clever band name by the way; his name is Mark). Here's a nice vid made for one of his songs, "The Ballad of Sirius Black." Smooth voice.

I think I'll be buying some of his songs when I get home tonight (he's on Snocap).

As always, please comment if you listen and like.
