Before today I’d never heard of Lukas Vokrinek. But after listening to this song, I wish I had. It’s amazingly inspirational epic orchestral, themed around Twilight fleeing her attackers. You can feel the danger and fear flowing through each note.

[More Music for the Headless Horse] Cynifree – Sights Unseen | Experimental Downtempo
It’s so good to get a contribution to noise.horse‘s compilation album More Music for the Headless Horse from Cynifree, who nailed the theme and mood so well with an experimental track about the many mysteries of the Everfree Forest! This musical journey takes us through the narrows paths and spooky places of the forest, with a deep bass reflecting the unsettling atmosphere, and Nightmare Night-like melodies for a full immersion! Gotta love initiatives like these so much.
Ponyphonic – Feed Me With Your Heart | Orchestral
Ponyphonic returns! Dane Larson writes and performs this haunting yet lovely song about the Queen of the Changelings and, as you can expect from Ponyphonic tunes, it is absolutely gorgeous and the quality is sky-high! The lyrics and melody perfectly encapsulate the vibe of a “love” song by Chrysalis, with an incredible accompaniment behind it. A new pony song from Ponyphonic has been in order for quite a while and they certainly do not disappoint!
One Track Mind – Nightly Mares EP | Electronic
Just in time for the spooky holiday, One Track Mind brings us six great tracks to really get into the Nightmare Night spirit! This extended play uses a great array of dynamics to convey an overwhelming, almost helpless at times emotion throughout a very exciting set of songs.
The first track, Nightfall, does an incredible job setting up the feel of the rest of the EP, introducing an exciting, horror themed soundscape that flows beautifully into the second track.
Edge of the Forest is an exciting track right up until One Track Mind flips it on it’s head and gives the track a somber, chilling finish.
Unloyal starts off like a disco track and runs with that theme, managing to be eerie in it’s upbeat style. About halfway through the soft, terrifying feel of Edge of the Forest comes back to top off the track with that familiar fear feeling.
Fluttering Lullaby is an intense, more powerful track. The synth is on-point with the tense drums, invoking imagery of someone slowly losing their mind.
Black Heart Purple Fur changes up everything with narration over top of a distorted, stop-beat intro. This song is more laid back from the rest of the EP, and utilizes a high, ticking noise to induce anxiety throughout.
Giggles in the Dark wraps up the EP very nicely, like you are racing out of the woods, not knowing if you will make it or not. This track incorporates great dubstep wubs and has several moving parts that keep it interesting and intense!
Einarx – Nightfall | Dubstep
Einarx has dropped quite the literal bombshell with this one! The atmosphere that is brought in straight from the intro is incredible and gives us a mix of some digital and Japanese anime vibes. Speaking of which by sampling the Japanese Nightmare Moon’s voice it really sets this apart from what I’m used to hearing! It’s clever, refreshing, and hard hitting and that’s what I love about Einarx and is quite the ‘trick’ of Trick NO Treat: Phase 3 from the folks at Magnus Records. If you loved this one then you really should check the rest out. It is quite a treat.
PrinceWhateverer & Frozen Night – This is Nightmare Night (feat. Friends) (This is Halloween Parody) | Metal
Well here is the perfect song to get into the Nightmare Night mood. PrinceWhateverer re-imagines the very familiar Nightmare Before Christmas hit to fit the pony holiday using his unique metal style, with the aid of his crew of friends. The many voices contribute amazingly with solo lines as well as haunting chorus parts (especially when they get to the la la-la-la crowd part). A perfect song for the end your October season, or just because you love a great song and parody – be sure to check out This is Nightmare Night!
Nicolas Dominique – Plenty of Sun to Praise | Progressive Trance
This one is soo juicy, soo danceful, it’s amazing! I keep banging my head while listening to this, it was incredible! The synthwork on top, the drums on top, everything on top! Nicolas Dominique is one of the best brony producers out there, and you should support his music! Keep up the good work!
