Thrasher has the reputation of making some seriously hard-hitting metal over the past few P@D albums. His take on doing something on Tempest Shadow? Oh boy, how about playing up to Tempest’s cold and calculating temperament that leads to her killer instinct! The brake bones, hardcore metal screaming into your ears mixed with these waves of trance, with a taste of reggae, a fascinating but compelling fusion. It is just the picture you see of Tempest on another bounty she must take down for Equestria. This is wild on P@D Zenith. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[P@D] Koa & BlueBrony – Maybe I’m Not | Pop Rock
If you listened to P@D: Zenith, you may have heard this little track about Marble Pie. However, as BlueBrony has said performing this live with Koa: “This song is about anyone who feels like they struggle with self-worth or doesn’t belong.” The melodies build up from a soft piano to a most triumphant rock ballad that will indeed have you feeling like you do matter! Lyrics are just emotional and heart-felt of how genuine and beautiful Koa and BlueBrony sing with a message, Every brony who hears this can feel it in the very fiber of their beings. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] Michael Picher, RedSpark, Ethan Toavs, Repent & Frozen Night – Changelings On A Theme | Orchestral
In a fine exhibition on P@D: Zenith, the orchestral bronies community flexes its muscles to show how deep they are. As these five gentlemen show, a music sheet is only the blueprint. The same song with different elements and styles can have some beautiful results when you have creative music-making like this. A different story in tone and mood with how Princess Celestia had her first real encounter with Thorax and the reformed changelings just by how a song is composed! Delightful on the ears! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[P@D] Metajoker – Write Me Your Heart (feat. 4everfreebrony) | Alt Rock
The duo of Metajoker and 4everfreebrony come together with a message from Princess Cadance. Yes, you heard right, a Cadance track on P@D: Zenith. Metajoker takes the role of what Cadance sees in love today and preaches for looking for real love. The line “love is never perfect, nothing good is ever perfect” sounds like something princess of love would say. The vocals are beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful to what Cadance wants ponies to find. 4everfreebrony provides his insanely good guitar work to this track to fuel the message behind it. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself. More good Cadance tracks, please!
SnowShovel – Fly Higher (Feat. ProtoShadez) | Hard Rock
Rainbow Dash Vs. Lighting Dust; a rivalry to be remembered fondly by this fandom as some of the best moments of character growth for Rainbow Dash. RD fans like myself will point you to this fact. SnowShovel and ProtoShadez’s take on this confrontation comes into the theme of each of them trying to get the upper hand. The sick grungy guitar work symbolizes this war of speed and finesses, the desire to be the best and who gets to the fly with the ‘Bolts! Shadez’s vocals display claims from Dashie and Lightning Dust about who’s the better Pegasus! Special nod to PrinceWhateverer for his contribution of drums in the track as well!

Ponytronic – Celestial Promises EP | Electronic
Editor’s note: better late than never, right? (sorry Tron)
Following up on their 2019’s EP Luna’s Essence, Ponytronic brings you a day in the life of Princess Celestia’s royal duties as protector of Equestria! Ponytronic takes a different approach to express that through an album where Celestia is trying to figure out how not only to rule Equestria with her Sister Luna but aid her sister in re-adapting to modern Equestria. That is, however, not expressed in melodies that tell a story of struggle but these fitting beats of positively charged D&B and Drumstep tell a tale of overcoming challenges that Celestia takes on head-on! Have a listen!
Continue readingGeekbrony – The Hive | Neurofunk
It’s been quite some time since Geekbrony has released anything, but it’s been worth the wait! Over one and half years in the making, this track is here to remind you why Geek is still one of the best producers in the fandom. The hyperintense aggressive synth is only the start of this masterpiece! The deadly game between Starlight Glimmer and Queen Chrysalis is captured with vocal samples full of hate and hostility, and the big showdown vibe with how that bass hits you until you are senseless. Mixed with the aggression is this soft but passive-aggressive melody that perfectly lines up with how spiteful Chrissy is and how game Starlight is to show that in return! Geekbrony has said this is the most complex and dynamic track they have ever put together. The layers of the composition give you a banger you can really pump your fist to. This track is how you immerse your listeners into a dramatic confrontation and still make a fantastic banger! As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Koa x TCB – Background pt. 1 | Pop
NB: mild language warning

Taken from Koa’s “In Your Eyes” Album, this track sends aan authentic message of being yourself, showing others what you bring to the table, and claiming your spotlight. TCB blasts this head-moving and grooving vibe that is NOT shy about being colorful! The guitar-like synths are a nice touch. Those addicting drops will have you bopping your head in rhythm to Lyra’s message of “flipping the perception of your own story!”. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Everything she is at her core is sung in the most inspiring manner; the lyrics embody RD’s defiance to beat the odds, A theme present throughout FiM. You can say Dashe’s desires to be the very best, but what gets shortsighted all too much is RD’s love for the skies, her home, Where her confidence indeed shows, A place where Rainbow’s best character traits come to the forefront when she is at her very best! What seals it is Whirly Tail’s just beautiful melodies that feed Math’s vocals. You feel that triumphant and uplifting emotion hit you right in your guts!
