Harmonic Six – “Friendship is Magic” Orchestral Suite | Orchestral

Ready for a nostalgia trip everypony? Harmonic Six delivers some more orchestral sweetness, dedicated to the show that, by now years ago for most, has gotten us through a lot, let’s see what we got here!
The suite starts out sounding a bit more pop-ish then you’d expect, but this intro is quickly over and we switch to the full front of calming and soothing orchestral melodies. Harmonic six turns the us well known feel melody into an orchestral iteration beyond any rivalry, together with a quieter, more reserved part that almost sounds like chanting at a few points we get a pretty good idea of how much this show means to Harmonic. Divided by a sweet piano melody we get into the second half of this piece, we keep up on the soft and nostalgic sound of the instruments as we take what feels like a slow trip through all the achievement and happiness of the show, with motivational drums in the background this suite switches fully into a motivational masterpiece that just seems to scream at you to go and follow your calling in life!
We end this beautiful orchestral masterpiece on a bit slower, soothing outro.

[P@D] Frozen Night – Awakening (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | Symphonic Metal

The call has gone out to all warriors!  It’s time for “Awakening!”  This epic track from Frozen Night’s concept album, Time’s Arrow, dives right into battle mode as resounding bass drums begin to herald a rousing call to war.  Uplifting choirs and dramatic strings and horns build a sense of destiny advancing into strong conflict.  An uplifting, Celtic-warrior-type melody eventually bursts into a climactic electric guitar solo by SDreamExplorerS, which brilliantly expresses the buildup to the critical point of battle where the tide turns, and victory is assured.  For all who want to awaken the righteous warrior within, be sure to listen to this inspiring track from P@D’s newest album release, Aurora.

SOUND BANDIT – break the cycle / sleepless nights ft. Fetlocked | Hyperpop / Breakcore

Sound Bandit and Fetlocked have teamed up to create a masterpiece! The signature hyperpop-esque vocals with a fast and chaotic breakbeat rhythm while still reigning in that energy with a soothing, beautiful melody leads to an interesting melancholic experience! Break the Cycle / Sleepless Nights somehow gets the blood pumping while managing an atmosphere where the listener can just lean back on a rooftop in retrospect. The Fluttershy vocal chops in the breakdown just add to the overall ambience of this relaxed, yet restless piece. Perfect for a sleepless night.

Nyancat380 – The Brightness | Prog / Electronic Rock

From “Methodic Ways To Break A Mind” this song ironically feels quite dark and tense. “The Brightness” is a riddle of sorts themed around Rainbow Dash, with hints sprinkled throughout for the album’s theme, plus there is an outstanding lyric video accompanying it! The tension and mystery is laid out with fast paced guitar riffs and hauntingly beautiful vocaloid lines. Cold, methodical, and chant-like, everything about this track grabs your attention and doesn’t let go! The chorus is heavily addicting and I guarantee your thoughts will be provoked by the poem that Nyancat380 has laid out.

Whirlwind – Skybound | Chillout / Dubstep

This one is quite an airy one! Inspired by ‘Tanks For The Memories’, there’s quite a bit of interesting mixes and mashes here. Ambient flowing pianos and rising and falling ambiance with crystal clear melodies really give off an ethereal feel to the choppy and glitched vocals that adorn this track! Whirlwind even incorporates some old-school dubstep growls halfway through to breakup the relative calm with a burst of unexpected, yet not unwelcome energy. A fun track not afraid to experiment, Whirlwind’s first song of 2022 starts the year on a high note!

Ocean Melody – Ethereal Walk | Orchestral

There is a relaxing air to the piece which does a great job telling its own story. It’s not too dramatic and not too subtle – it’s balanced. Overall, Ethereal Walk really is a relaxing journey.

Radiarc – In these brief moments | Hybrid Orchestral

Radiarc’s unparalleled attention to deep atmospherics is on show in practically every track he creates, and it’s always a pleasure to be able to enjoy them. This piece has many of the qualities that help make his music stand out, from subtle piano and accentuated strings to gentle vocalised sounds and interesting hybrid percussion shifting between softer and more franctic sections that help to differentiate the energy throughout the track and create a feeling like you’re being given a peek into the artist’s psyche.

Violin Melody – Popcorn | Drum & Bass

Violin Melody’s upcoming SWAN album has been in the works for a long time, but she’s been releasing tracks that will feature on it periodically and this one is a bit of branching out from her usual house style. With energetic drum & bass percussion, light synths and vocal sounds some heavy scream energy transitions between sections to add a touch of chaos to the track, worthy of the discordant theming.

Jyc Row – An Army of Fire and Gold (The Molten) | Orchestral

Once again, Jyc brings the heat (stop booing me) for the latest installment in his soundtrack for the Infinite Eclipse prequel. Ominous choirs and spiccato strings carry the melodies in this song through tempo changes, constantly building towards the climax. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into epic fantasy soundtracks!
