Sup mah Bronies!?

Yo, So when Fruity told me he was working on a Pony/Brony themed core album I was of course deepy interested.

As you may know, I host “No Morality” every other Friday on PonyvilleFM, which is a mashed up, mind bending hour of hardcore, speedcore, mashcore, etc… so I’m always on the lookout for great hardcore Pony music. As a huge supporter of Brony music I try not to saturate my sets too much with music from outside the fandom so this album is a breath of fresh air for me.Let’s get into it, shall we?

---

The first track on the album, aptly titled “COREPON3”, is a great way to start the us off. Fruity doesn’t care one bit about trying to warm you up or ease you into the madness that is this album. “COREPON3” is straight up Speedcore with crazy mashups of horse, mainstream music and vidya game samples. The kicks are heavy, the leads are intense and it sets the mood for the whole album. From there we venture into “DANK PON3S”, a pretty straight forward Trapcore track with 808’s, “what” samples and kicks that would implode most nuclear subs. After that we are graced with “Backalley Underground Musicscene”. A track featuring Trotmania’s own Inkling Bear AKA Fractilx AKA インクリングズ AKA… whatever, they are amazing together. “Backalley Underground Musicscene” combines the Happy Hardcore influence we hear in most Inkling Bear tracks and mashes it together with devastating kicks from Fruity Fusion. From there the next 9 tracks will take you on a journey of Gabber, Hardcore, Hardstyle and Terrorcore, it’s full of energy and insanity and never lets down.

If you are into the heavier compositions you definitely need to check this album out. It even features a VIP of one of my personal favorite Fruity Fusion tracks, “Quiet”, which I was honored to be able to drop at Ponystock 2016 at Everfree Northwest before it’s release. It samples everyone’s favorite Twilight replacement student of friendship, Starlight, and the VIP is a great revisit to an insanely heavy track.

Overall the album is great. If you aren’t a hardcore fan of the hardcore you might find this album a bit too much to sit down and listen to in it’s entirety, however I still recommend adding your favorites to your playlists. Also if you are a Brony DJ who likes to dabble in the core I strongly urge you to grab “COREPON3” as it’s a great way to liven up your sets with new music . Go pick up the album [HERE] and throw the horns up!

Also make sure to tune into “Hardcore Wrap-Up” every Friday at 7pm EST on PonyvilleFM as Fruity Fusion bring you the best in Hardcore music!
