Beginning production in the community relatively recently, FilledSilhoutte’s eerie new EP is quite the intriguing experiment with soundscapes. The majority of it has some awesome experimentation with ambience and sound design, especially on the dystopic Hysteria. What exactly the “New Form” is is up to the listener, but, needless to say, it is beyond sinister. My personal favorite is the noisy, percussive Overthrown, which is chaotic and has a deceptively simple backing trap-inspired beat. I am beyond interested to hear more conceptual albums from FilledSilhoutte in the future, and you should be, too.
Month: November 2018
Reverbrony – Sunburn (feat. FritzyBeat) | Alternative Rock
Here we have a melancholic piece from Reverbrony and FritzyBeat. Themed around Princess Luna; moments before giving into the darkness, you can feel the sadness in the composition as her innocence is cut away, slice by slice, beneath Celestia’s Sun and majesty. Three years in the making its a song well worth the wait!
SlyphStorm – Nightmare Night (2018 Redux) (Covering WoodenToaster & Mic The Microphone) | Electro
Keeping with the theme of comebacks to pony music, here’s the famous SlyphStorm’s! He’s covered the classic Nightmare Night in the past and recently submitted a reveamped instrumental to Ponyville Ciderfest’s charity album, but it appears he’s gone and tweaked it even further and added vocals! He has truly nailed the vibe and the vocal stylings (effects included!) of the original, and it sounds as fresh as ever in 2018. A kickass guitar solo, a rock-solid organ section, and a distinctly SlyphStorm brand of electro all help make this restyling an absolute delight.
Jyc Row & Felicia Farerre – Night Queen VIP (feat. PrinceWhateverer) | Epic Orchestral
Jyc “Epic” Row released a VIP of the masterpiece from P@D Rebirth Night Queen, adding even more awesomeness thanks to PrinceWhateverer‘s guitar performance! Always featuring Felicia Farerre‘s amazing Luna-like vocals, the VIP provides a renewed anthem to ever-lasting Night and rule of Nightmare Moon over Equestria, blending orchestral, electronic, and rock elements!
LaRaikaa – She’s a Vampire (M-Type) (feat. EileMonty & Nowacking) | Metal
LaRaikaa (f.k.a. PsychGoth, BagpipeBrony) brings us all the way back to 2012 with a driving metal spin on his original synthy tune based on the fanfic My Roommate is a Vampire. Of course, the beautiful vocals from EileMonty and Nowacking bring even more flavor to the already very tasty djent-inspired instrumental. Whether LaRaikaa will return to do more horse tunes is unknown, but his return is lovely to see!
[P@D] MEQA – Timberwolves | Drum & Bass
The unique sounds coming from this banger of Enigma by MEQA makes this track a great experimental drum n bass song. With experimentation what ranges from the use of minimal drums, the use of weird and cool synths, and the addition of amazing vocals that make this a 6 minutes track an intersting and cool listen!
Download Enigma on P@D’s bandcamp!
Alexey Kotlyar – No Return | Orchestral
After a brief hiatus, budding composer Alexey Kotlyar is back! This piece fits the mood depicted in the art by Das-Leben perfectly, with some great tension building and use of somber strings, along with a gorgeous piano section. A fitting tribute to the fallen Snowdrop, this is another pony orchestral composer not to be missed!
Elias Frost – Shadows | Orchestral / Soundtrack
A mix of spooky and epic, Elias Frost bring us Nightmare Moon theme, mixing modern classical music elements with orchestral ones. The instrumentalization is amazing as always and the bells are soo cold and creepy that put me shivers on my skin. A true song that represent the terror and epic behind Nightmare Moon!
TCB – Discord Trouble | Hybrid Trap
TCB back at it again with the Memery and Machinery for a Beautifull Track. Bringing in some Chaotic flavour too this time. Discord tunes are always enjoyable tunes. This one taking the cake in my honest opinion! this Remix of Odysey’s while adding in Doodled’s & Ditherers Track really brings out the energy and hype. A Classic I hope to hear next year at Ciderfest! hope to see ya’ll and TCB there! ❤
Ditherer – Loco Pommel (feat. N. Hollow) (prod. Riddim Man) | Hip-Hop
It’s so awesome that Ditherer contributed to the Nightmare Night party as well, with a full album titled Nightmare Night Nine! Loco Pommel is a fire collab with the one and only N. Hollow and showcases both lovely pony lyrics and mad rapping skills! Also on the album, Mirror Pool 2 Cypher is a spooky alternate version to the story of S03E03 Too Many Pinkie Pies and it works so well! Thingpone is an insane as it gets, and Ditherer also made his own versions of community classics, resulting in an epic Guncakes cover and September cover, inviting other rapper friends too! An overall awesome album and such a treat to have for Nightmare Night, and on all other days too! Grab it from Bandcamp!
