Fifty years ago in January 1974, Gary Gygax boxed up the first Dungeons & Dragons sets for mail order from his basement in Lake Geneva, WI. In honor of the legendary role-playing game system, this week we map out a heavy sword-waving and spell-casting campaign of D&D-inspired metal by Visigoth, Throne of Iron, Sabbat, Lair of the Minotaur, 3 Inches of Blood, The Black Dahlia Murder, Bolt Thrower, Summoning the Lich, Black Sabbath, and more. Roll to hit—and know your Roots!
Have you ever put Dungeons & Dragons in your metal… or vice versa? Comment below!

Roots is Sound of the Beast author Ian Christe’s heavy metal history show on Sirius XM Liquid Metal channel 40. Since June 2004, each weekly show has examined another subgenre, band, movement, country, or theme. The show is available on-demand online from SiriusXM.com.
My band Bog Wizard is almost entirely D&D based, we’ve got songs about the Tarrasque, Gelatinous Cube, and a ton about our characters. The Wizard himself is a BBEG we’ve been adding to the lore of.
Sick playlist! Throne of Iron rules!
