2000’s Metalcore style nostalgia feels are coming with this great track produced by Blackend that it’s featured on the most recent album of Ponies At Dawn – Skyward!
The vocals are on perfection, the lyrics that are about Twilight Sparkle dealing with her inner demons. The breakdown of this song is brutal, I headbanged while listening to this. This surely is a treasure hidden on the entire Ponies At Dawn brand.

[P@D] MEQA, L.M., Cosmic Fox, AJ Young, Soundnix & Quadrivia – Bronycalypse | Dubstep
The end is not the end.
One of the sneak peak tracks of Ponies at Dawn Skyward album this track is a MASSIVE six way collab between some great artists. Opening up with some moody guitars and pizzicatos it quickly builds into a wonderous cacophony of interchanging styles weaving in and out of each other! the melancholic interlude finishing off the track also gives us a retrospective vibe to briefly reflect back on the past decade and is such a fun and professional song. If there is one thing I can get behind, its collabs, and on this scale it hits home the fact that the fandom won’t disappear after the show, there is a world of untapped potential just waiting to be explored and I think we can go on for a long time coming!
Niłch’i Poni – V’ynuk | Liquid Drum & Bass / Siberian Folk
Niłch’i (F 109) is no stranger to ambiance and sound design and this is no exception! The opening piano chords and pads are rich, deep and carry a weight behind them and that’s only the beginning. The focus shifts most notably with what appears to be a jaw harp(?) of all instruments and a more ethnic, folk sound with some tight and complex break beats to tie in to the main genre of the song. Everything ebbs and flows like water through out from the chimes to the one shots and reverberates so cleanly and mysteriously. I absolutely adore the very deep and gritty bassline that punches through at times and the dynamic range really shines through with these iterations. This is truly a unique masterpiece and truly immerses you into its world!
MelodyBrony & Danny Cross – This Kingdom | Metal
MelodyBrony has been on a roll lately and the licks keep coming as he teams up with talented vocalist, Danny Cross to make this hard-hitting track! This Kingdom features tight guitar-work with ever satisfying riffs and a drum kit you can feel as Cross details the plight of keeping the titular kingdom safe from the threats in the darkness. Another classic in his ever-improving repertoire, be sure to check out Melody’s newest!
Dynamite Grizzly – APPLE(HARD)CHORD | Hardcore
Dynamite Grizzly is a no stranger to things fast and hard, and this track is surely a sight to behold. Starting off with some amazing heavy guitar riffs, the breaks that occasionally interject are a hint of what’s to come. I’m always a fan of acid riffs, and this track delivers in style. I would never have expected somebody to turn Apple Chord into a super fast, super exciting hardcore track, but here it is, and I’m glad that it exists!
4everfreebrony – Giggles & Gumdrops (2019)| Alternative Rock
Going back to an older classic, 4everfreebrony remasters his loving tribute to Pinkie Pie in the new Giggles & Gumdrops. Gray Fur provided an incredible PMV to go along with the song which he made for the original version, and it is awesome to see it included now! The track has a soft rock vibe while the fandom legends sings of the many wonders that make the Element of Laughter who she is. Even if it is hard to understand how she does what she does, it is because Pinkie is made of so many wonderful things!
[P@D] Silva Hound & loophoof – Pink Out | Electro House / Bounce
Another Ponies at Dawn album, another batch of Silva Hound collabs! This time, surprisingly enough, he turns to loophoof for some help and it turns out wonderfully! Silva’s signature house grooves, penchant for catchy leads, and atmospheric buildups are an amazing companion for loop’s patented vocal samples and creation of cohesive melodies chopping them. One to get you really jumping, this is definitely a tune I expect to hear at live events in the future.
Daniel Ingram – Flawless (Eurobeat Brony Remix) | Eurobeat
After nearly three years, a brand new Super Ponybeat remix has risen! The true brony music OG graces our ears once more with a healthy serving of everything we’ve come to expect from him: an extremely catchy hook to accompany the Mane Six’s chorus, crazy synth leads, a subtly frantic bassline, and an energetic driving rhythm that complements the ponies’ verses perfectly. Flawless remixes are usually very high quality, and this is no exception. Here’s hoping Eurobeat Brony can bless us with a few more tunes before the show’s end!
Below is an additional review by fellow writer Cynifree!
Start of Cynifree’s review
It’s been over half a year since we had a Eurobeat Brony track, and this time around we get a very energetic take on Flawless. Odyssey is a king of the genre so you can expect those iconic screaming leads with a pumping bassline and all in all its just a really, REALLY fun remix to listen to!
End of Cynifree’s review
Acarcion & Drixale – 900 Years | Trap
An amazing and very lovely collab, Acarcion and Drixale paid tribute to Luna and what she endured during that millenia on the moon, sending her support and showing much love. The space-y instrumental is just perfect for the theme, and the vocals of the duo complement each other so well!
[P@D] L-Train – Skysurfer | Drum & Bass / Surf Music
Skywards broughts us a lot surprises, one of the biggest ones is L-Train mixing surf music with drum and bass! What a lovely mix! The guitar sounds juicy, and the drum work is incredible. You did a good job on this one!
