It doesn’t matter if you shout ”Rock and Stone” ”Baruk Khazâd” or ”Khazukan Kazakit-ha”. We all unite under this timeless masterpeice of a song

"Did you manage to recruit the dwarves?" "Yes." "How many?" "Yes."

Tolkien fans, Warhammer fans, Deep Rock Galactic fans, Dwarf Fortress fans, Overwatch fans, and D&D fans are all united by one fact. That fact being a dwarf is the greatest and most loyal companion to ever have.

This song is legendary because it carries that same "Uncle Sam" or "Yankee Doodle" energy. You just know "Diggy Hole" was a taunt made by the knife-ears to make the dwarves sound like childish little mole men, and the Dwarves took it and ran with it.

Industrial miner here, me and the boys literally sing this song. Love the mix

It's cool to see that THIS song, Diggy Diggy Hole, has become the rallying cry for everyone in the Dwarf community. Be it Warhammer, WoW, LOTR, Deep Rock, or any other IP, we all come together under the banner of the sturdy mountain men.

"Maybe sing something funny, sort of light-hearted." Time travelers: "Prepare... for unforeseen consequences."

I have this headcanon that in some fantasy universe out there, an Elf once told a Dwarf to piss off, saying something like “Go dig a hole, Shorty.” The Dwarf, offended, pretended to use a shovel as he replied in a sarcastic voice “Oh, sure…I’m a Dwarf and I’m deeging a hole. Deegy-deegy hole, I’m deeging a hole. Phooey!” The Dwarf went home, and he relayed the story to his kin. Eventually a mob of Dwarves chased the troublemaking knife-ear out of town, all while jokingly chanting about how they are Dwarves, and they’re digging a hole. From then onwards, the joke based on a Dwarven stereotype develops into a full-blown song; each generation in the clan adding their own proud lyrics to it and belting it out in times of triumph and hardship alike. Centuries pass, and it becomes a sort of anthem for all Dwarfkind across the land, equally at home as a lullaby to newborn beardlings, as a war cry for hammerers on the battlefield, or as a hummed tune among the few living ancestors who dwell in the Great Halls. Thank you, Simon.

to think one very old minecraft meme did all of this

This has the same vibe as 6 Dwarf Clans of the Rockhold Hills putting aside their feuds and giving the knife ears the best fight they’ve ever seen.

I love that you can still hear the yogscast no matter who else is singing with them

"Why do we mine? What compels us to seek out the deepest and darkest of holes and make them even deeper? I'll tell you; it's in our nature, our nature as men, as short kings. We crave violence, we crave alcohol, we crave that mineral." - SsethTzeentach

now all we need is a official Deep Rock Galactic cover

There is a strange masculine urge to dig that is inexplicable and yet perfectly encapsulated by this song.

He has done it. He has collected the six Diggy Diggy stones into the Diggy Diggy gauntlet.

This is how i imagine six groups of dwarves from different mountain kingdoms would bond with their slighty different versions of the same song

It’s incredible how a joke and few words became a massive song

From the earliest days of KZfaq, it started as two friends on a grand quest, trying to come up with a song to sing whilst digging. I was just a kid back then, only 10 years old. Now, 12 years later I am about to leave home and start the next chapter in my life, and I get to appreciate the fact that we have some of KZfaq's biggest bands and artists joining Ye Olde Goon Squad in singing one of the most powerful songs about digging one could ever imagine. Thank you

I always said this about the song, but this just makes it even more true. This is, without a doubt, *The* Official Dwarf Anthem.

This doesn’t just slap, it slams! Like pickaxe into ore! Like a tankard of mead into a great hall table! Like a warhammer crushing the skull of any goblin, bug, or xeno who dares face a dwarf! DIG, BROTHERS! DIG!

ROCK AND STONE!!!

The clans reunited once again. Brings a tear to my eye.

This This is the EXACT song I've wanted Every bit is clear, and pronounced in some way - primarily due to each version focusing on some areas more than others Instead of sounding busy, the song sounds perfectly full

Brothers of the mine rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Deep, deep in the mine Never seen the blue moon glow Dwarves won't fly so high Fill a glass and down some mead! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole...

it brings tear to my eye to know people didnt forget about this masterpiece of a song

Karl would approve of this. FOR ROCK N STONE!

One thing I've noticed is that fans of Dwarves are VERY unified and you hardly ever see any infighting. Also, this song is fucking amazing. Tingles and hype throughout the whole thing

I love how a one minute skit in a minecraft video has somehow evolved into the default song for all dwarves in all IPs.

LEAVE NO DWARF BEHIND!!!

From Khazad-Dum to Ironforge, from Karak-a-Khazad to the Holds of Votann!

You can remove elves from the forests, make orcs noble warriors, or whatever else yoh want to make your fantasy world unique, but dwarves are always bound to their mountain homes. Beautiful

The amount of hype that builds when the light cycles between the tiles is only eclipsed by them all being lit, TOGETHER. Music really is what unites us as people. Can you imagine a crowd in a sold out stadium singing this? I can. I'm crying now. So beautiful...

Absolutely blown away at the end there

I like how he kept the superior instrumentals of Wind Rose for most of the video while keeping the superior vocals of the Yogscast version.

I remember watching the original Yogscast episode of their old Shadow of Israphel Minecraft series. Where Simon just started singing randomly as he was digging, just to get in character and goof off. To think it started off as a random off-the-cuff moment, and it has now become a beloved part of internet culture.

I like to think this guy was desperately waiting the Clamavi De Profundis’ version for this

That final chorus gave me an eargasm

"I feel like we need some kind of song to sing whilst digging, do you have any ideas?" - Lewis Brindley, 2011

This felt like the dwarven clans meeting to vote for the new high king and in the end everyone is feasting after the coronation.

4:30 The buildup to all the song’s combined hits so hard! Thank you KZfaq recommendations. Never would have found this otherwise.

So... uh... I lost, like, a 2 feet of height and have a beard long enough to touch the floor now. Edit: The song just ended and I just found a massive axe in my room...

When everyone starting singing. I felt like I was blasted away. This is such a good combo .

I am convinced that a not insignificant portion of the population would choose to become dwarves if they were given the chance, living under the mountains, forging master craft armor, digging through rock and stone unearthing gems and gold, and drinking ale with their bearded brothers and sisters, sounds like a life well spent if you ask me.

From a joke song to a fan made song to an official song to a metal song to all this, name me another song that has such a storied journey.

that epic drum roll is spine chilling

This is the definition of eargasm

I listened to this while stuck on a 3 hour car trip while my bowels were trying to expel the tamale I ate the day before, con confirm this song gives you strength

This is a hearty song. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with adamantine, and encircled with bands of steel. This object menaces with spikes of glory. On the item is an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is covered in mud. The dwarf is covered in blood.

To think this started as a spur of the moment little diddy from Simon all those years ago. For it to evolve into this... Let it be said: Ye Olde Goon Squad inspired literal generation gaps to sing of dwarves digging for treasures better than Tolkien. YEAH, I SPOKE SACRELIGE WHAT OF IT!?

ROCK AND STONE! WE CAN NEVER DIG TOO DEEP!

This song feels like its from an ancient era of a lost civilisation on mulitple levels

4:29... That's the pinnacle of everything that was and ever will be. This isn't even a song anymore it's an experience because this is genuinely amazing.

Clamavi de Profundis = Longbeards Wind Rose = Blacklocks Yogscast = Broadbeams RichaadEB & Jonathan Young = Ironfists Colm R. McGuiness = Firebeards We just need two more covers and all 7 realms of dwarves are united. Ps.: Where is the "I am the elf and I filling in the hole"? >:(

I was crying with more pure joy the longer this song went on

I’ve listened to all of these covers independently of each other and they were amazing then; I can’t believe this video’s been up an entire week without anyone telling me! Incredible energy of dwarves digging a hole, thank you for your work! To my dwarven kin: Armok has blessed us this day.

As you venture deeper into the cavern you begin to hear something. Chanting? No singing, you reach the end of the tunnel and you see a massive city filled with dwarves. The men of the mountains have united at last and they celebrate with an anthem of fellowship.

Literally the only thing wrong is that one time the lyrics don't overlap Everything else... chefs kiss.

I'm disappointed by the lack of the elf filling in the hole at the end but even so, I love this. Any day is a good day when a new version of Diggy Diggy Hole comes out.

The primal male urge to haul a pickaxe and bash at whatever stone you can find is universal

And thus, everyone above heard the shaking of stone and rock as the entire underground started singing in unison, showing them that they may be small, but they together pack a punch and a pick that can move tectonic plates! This was absolutely great, ALE AND MEAD FOR EVERYONE!

10/10 handeleds orcestral as everyone had a momment to shine now if sabaton would make a cover off this one that would be something

This mashup is truly the ultimate version of this song at the moment it sounds like the entirety of dwarf-kind coming together to harmonize to this one song

Man I miss the golden age of the Yogscast

This was so good. It just blows me away that the Yogs were able to take a really funny early 2010s minecraft RP meme and make it something grand. And then to have everyone start to make badass covers of it beyond that is just- it's great! And then this on top of all of that!? Man, today was a good day to find this video.

I'm not crying. It's just someone digged a hole into my eye.

Sometimes I can't decide which version I want to listen to. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore.

This is amazing... only thing that'd make it ascended tier is if they all said the "BROTHERS OF THE MINE REJOICE" together.

Man I remember seeing the Yogscast version all the time when I was younger. This song just gives me a wave of nostalgia no matter what version it is

I see songs of this combine is awesome. But now. Seeing this. I think i found the entire Dwarf Kingdom

now this is truly a song from the deepest parts of hearts of all drawf kind

May your mugs never dry brothers! ROCK AND STONE!!!!

We need a 10 hour version of this

*BARUK KHAZAD, WE FIGHT FOR KARAZ ANKOR, ANCESTORS, ROCKS AND STONE* *AND WE LEAVE NO DWARF BEHIND*

There was a dwarf and he dig a hole... *paper burns as quill writes on..

I want to say thank you for putting this together amd thank you KZfaq algorithm for recommending me this brilliant combo. ROCK AMD STONE!

It's cool that even through all the voices, you can still pick out Simon's

I can feel my beard grow by the verse.

I love how a silly joke made off hand during a minecraft playthrough has evolved to be this rallying cry to ALL people who play games where you can be a dwarf. ROCK AND STONE!

I just love that the image of a dwarf is that consistant throughout all of fantasy media. most of the other fantasy races get morphed and merged with creative ideas and concepts. But the "dwarf"-concept is as solid as the rock it digs into.

When you're digging straight down in Minecraft.

Rock and Stone, it never gets old!

I love hearing songs like this combined. It gives the energy of a group of mates bellowing out the lyrics. Truly amazing energy

Man... I remember when Episode 8 of Shadow of Israphel went live and hearing Simon sing diggy diggy hole was just the funnest shit. NEVER in a million years did I thought it'll become the anthem of Dwaves across the internet. It's a beautiful thing to behold.

I want a version that's just all 6 the entire time Also timestamp to the all 6 songs part 4:29

i manage to create a Diggy Diggy Hole playlist composed of 11 differents versions And YOU, you have mixed 6 of it PERFECTLY. Guess i have 12 songs now

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE STRIPMINES WITH THIS ONE 🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥

Perfection, just perfection.

Magnificent

Congrates to yogacast for making the national anthem of All Dwarves that somehow started as A Joke

if i could hit the like button more than once on one video, it would be this masterpiece. i would singlehandedly sit here and click until that button hit 10M

the most epic of a melody, from the depths of earth to the edge of hoxes 4, all dwarfs have one goal, Dig.

ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS

The Ancestors Smile Upon This. For the Votann.

Everybody sing along! 😀 [Intro] Brothers of the mine rejoice! (Swing, swing, swing with me!) Raise your pick and raise your voice! (Sing, sing, sing with me!) Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold, and more Hidden in the mountains store [Pre-Chorus] Born underground Suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark The safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron Steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on, brothers, sing with me! [Chorus] I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole [Verse 1] The sunlight will not reach this low (Deep, deep in the mine) Never seen the blue moonglow (Dwarves won't fly so high) Fill a glass and down some mead Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep [Pre-Chorus] Born underground Grown inside a rocky womb The Earth is our cradle The mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield You will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep [Chorus] I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole [Pre-Chorus] Born underground Suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark The safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron Steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on, brothers, sing with me! [Chorus] I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole

This is my favourite mix of all the versions of the song. Because it genuinely sounds like a chorus of dwarves all singing in unison. From the deepest deposits all the way up the mine shaft to the mine entrance where the raucous singing of thousands of hard working dwarven miners can flood their undermountain kingdom.

From 8 eight years old to 20 years, this song has been one of the best I've heard and brings back so much nostalgia for while I played minecraft and even figured out the beat on a ukelele. Thank the Yogscast for the original, but everyone else cemented it in history!

I imagine each of these as a local version specific to their own unique mountain home. And it takes the likes of Durin himself to unite all the 6 other clans in song together.

Soon we'll have enough covers of this song to fill the jukebox on the space rig

Knife ears and green skins be gangsta until the mountains start singing.

The energy pumping out of this compilation is unbelievable....
