SCRATON – Cyberpink (Laughter) | Complextro

There’s nothing getting in SCRATON’s way. Cyberpink is a bouncy electronic track that prominently features vocal samples edited to sound like Pinkie Pie’s the guest singer here! The voice as well as the other stray samples really compliment the track’s complextro roots, with the core track having a pop structure before eventually building up to a synth breakdown filled with vocal chops and even a powerful sample. Wonder if we’ll be seeing the rest of the elements represented through SCRATON’s signature style?

Branrich VanIstner – Rise, She-Demon. Rise! | Industrial Metal

Branrich VanIster returns with a change of pace from his last two tracks. Rise, She-Demon. Rise! is an industrial piece that borrows elements from metal, primarily driven by a fuzzy bass guitar and punchy drums. A sudden voice sample of Sunset announcing her presence precedes a transition into a faster segment of the song, as if to represent her growth of power and that the Equestrian town is truly in danger. Brutal stuff.

Remember Falling – Strangers (feat. BearSlayer & Cerridwen) | Alternate Electronic

Remember Falling returns with another song from the upcoming Dawn Into Dusk. Starting off with a brief voice exchange between BearSlayer and Cerridwen, we’re thrust into a midtempo electro piece full of shining synths with a positive vibe, yet RF’s vocals and lyrics ponder whether Hollow and Infinity are safe in their new land, and if they’re seen as outsiders and strangers. The vocal duet in the chorus works so well with RF’s typical style of electronic.

Vylet Pony – Queen of Misfits (feat. Cabi and Namii) (RottenTotten Remix) | Synthpop

Remember when I said Last Tempest would become the new Discord? Well, Queen of Misfits might have taken that title. RottenTotten’s remix changes the vocal rhythm up a little while retaining the original’s 80s influence with the synths and drums. The drum samples and added piano chords give the song a more natural edge, as if it was recorded in a studio. Just a little change can add so much!

Kryptage – Ballad of the Brony VIP | Breakbeat

After a couple years’ hiatus, Kryptage has returned with a VIP version of 2012’s Ballad of the Brony! With a new coat of paint, the instruments have been remastered to sound better than ever, even trading the original’s vocal chops for samples of Saberspark talking about the fandom and the impact it’s had. With more and more names returning, it’s clear the fandom’s not going anywhere anytime soon!

L-Train – Fear of Flight (Covering Aviators) | Thrash Metal

The L-Train’s starting up again, and our destination is Fear of Flight, an Aviators cover. L-Train’s take on the song replaces the electronic elements with straight-up thundering thrash metal, charging at full speed with riffs and licks that annihilate everything in its path. The heavier edge this cover brings gives the song a new identity, as if to show a sudden burst of confidence in Fluttershy’s determination to conquer her fear of flying!

MelodyBrony – This Kingdom [2020] (feat. Cyril the Wolf) | Heavy Metal

MelodyBrony returns with a remake of one of his first tracks, This Kingdom. Joining him is Cyril the Wolf on vocals, with Melody providing the instrumentation. What follows is a heavy metal track with fast paced drums, driving guitars and soaring vocals. Seriously, Cyril’s range on this track is insane. Gotta hand it to this duo for creating an amazing piece of work!

DAϟH – Dream Demon | Gabber

Don’t go to bed… Track 5 from Equestrian Terror: An Introduction is Dream Demon, a heavy-hitting gabber track based around Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?. Samples from the episode are dotted all over, with the fast-paced drums and heavily distorted bass giving an overwhelming feeling of dread, as if the Tantabus is planning to do exactly that; overwhelm the population with horror. Scary stuff!
