In case you missed the long-awaited release, here’s your chance to partake in the joy of rediscovering the dazzling song The Spectacle in pure PrinceWhateverer metal format, now extended with brand new instrumental parts and lyrics fitting the spirit of the original song! Paying even more tribute to the undeniable value of Rara’s performance under the Countess Coloratura alias, Spectacular impresses once again and the intense typography of the video only adds to the epicness of the music unfolding.

Throwback Thursday | Sunset Shimmer Day Songs!
Sooooo, it’s been a while since we had a TBT here, eh? I thought it might be appropriate to revive it for Sunset Shimmer Day, so catch a bunch of our favourite Shimmy-themed songs below!
Daniel Ingram – Luna’s Future (GhostXb Remix) | Orchestral
Perhaps more of an arrangement than a remix, but we’ll stick with Ghost’s labelling! This is definitely one of the more unique orchestral interpretations of Luna’s Future that I’ve seen. It takes the base composition and adds so much more to it, including those beautiful choir vocals backing it up.
Vylet Pony & Lily Cloud – Fall To The Clouds (Raging Rarity Remix) | House
I know the feeling of looking back at older tracks and cringing wincing at the level of production, so I completely understand Raging Rarity’s motive behind remaking this remix. Check it out for a new spin on a classic.
Segments Of Life – The Empty Hourglass | Metalcore / Electronic
Segments Of Life seems to be going through a phase of parodying Trap Nation records in their videos, so have this latest ‘Equestria Nation Records’ release – a complete melange of genres including djent, trap and drum & bass…because if you can make it work, why not?
DJRedSky – Manehattan Nights | House
DJRedSky’s really got that deep house sound nailed down pretty well by now. Check out this track that combines electronic basses and synths with some classic strings and even a saxophone for a bit of extra jazz.
Progressive Element – Strawberry Ponies | Future Bass
Strawberries? And ponies? FruityFusion will be pleased… Have some kawaii cute future bass, which I believe is a first from Progressive Element, and he’s done a decent job on it too!
The Cosine Pitchshifterz – Equality Inequality | Hardstyle
Despite the sample used before the drop, this song is anything but quiet. While I’m not a huge fan of hardstyle personally, this track still has its merits, and a nice swing beat to it. I also like the classic hands-up ravey feel of the part that starts at 2:38, it mixes an old-school sound with modern-day hardstyle.
Frozen Night – Lunar Eclipse II | Symphonic Metal
Frozen Night has remade one of their older songs to give it a fresh feel with better production and newer orchestral instruments. Lunar Eclipse II starts off with a hauntingly lonely solo piano, and layer upon layer of choir sounds, strings, and drums are brought in one by one to turn it from orchestral lament into a guitar-led piece.
Valiant Venture – Luna’s Realm | Ambient
Starting off with a calm piece this morning. Valiant Venture is, by most standards, a newcomer to the fandom music scene. While ambient music may not require overly-complex production, what’s key is the knowledge of how to progress throughout the song, something Valiant’s sure managed to do here.
