Severus & The Death Eaters

Part of the Harry Potter fandom, this jazz wrock group appears to be from Michigan and has been producing songs since 2007. Quoted from their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/severusthedeatheaters. "Dark Jazz: a manifesto First, let me make myself clear; this is not muggle music. If you are looking for feel good songs about the Boy Wonder I advise you to look elsewhere. But if you are curious what those who practice the Dark Arts listen to on a rainy Sunday afternoon this might help. I discovered Dark Jazz rather by accident ... I was coming back from number twelve, Grimmauld Place, when I stopped in a small cafe for some sparkling water and a twist of lemon. It was summer and the air-conditioning was on. Across the street was one of those dreadful muggle parking lots and a construction crew were using a gasoline powered generator and a jackhammer to drill into the cement. As I listened to the tedious noise of the air-conditioner I became aware that the continual pounding of the jackhammer had rhythm to it. Furthermore, the parking lot echoed back the noise of the machines and it almost sounded like some power was orchestrating the sounds into a jazz riff. I thought that if I could accompany with my saxophone those wonderful echoing, moaning, distorted groans coming from the parking lot I would have a new sound on my hands; thus Dark Jazz was born."
