For Nightmare Night, Lighty went dark, very dark, and it’s so awesome! I’ll let you translate the title and figure out the story of the track involving a certain princess, like I did! Savor the experience in the dark, showcasing Lighty’s prowess at Synthwave…
Whirlwind – The Mission EP | Liquid Drum & Bass / Orchestral
Encompassing love for space and space music in an EP full of starry and dreamy DnB beauties, Whirlwind showcased his skill at a genre full of wonders, all while telling a story about his OC exploring space. Much emotion and story-telling in the tracks, that will make you follow him on the journey. Such a display of musical skill and passion is very inspiring and amazing, and it’s definitely an EP worth the listen! My personal favorite from the EP is Solar Surf!
Embedded here is the video of the full EP, but you can also find it on Bandcamp and find the individual tracks’ uploads on Whirlwind’s channel!
[P@D] FilledSilhoutte – The Personalities | French House
After some fine French House? FilledSilhoutte’s got you covered. Track 20 from Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse is The Personalities, which is also the final single from his upcoming album Rarity’s Fashion Playlist. The funk in this track is palpable; the samples featured are put to good use behind some bunchy drumlines. The highlights are when those samples are layered in effects and muffled, before building up right back into the action! Sweetness from start to finish. Expect Rarity’s Fashion Playlist to come out on December 18th!
MelodyBrony & Friends – Silverstream (Covering Forest Rain) | Pop Rock
MelodyBrony got the dream team together for this one! Himself on rhythm guitar, Luck on lead, Agatan’s vocals, Whirlwind on drums, and IvoryBrony on keys make for a killer birthday tribute to a personal favorite of mine from Forest Rain. It’s as full of energy as the original, and every bit as much of a joy to have on repeat.
Koron Korak – No Answers Refine Doubts | Dark Ambient
Boy, this one is bleak. Koron Korak’s latest outing is a vent piece in the form of a dark ambient track, No Answers Refine Doubts. Dark, deep synths carry the track along, with other sounds from a piano and harsh droning synths coming in occasionally to switch it up over the song’s 8 minute length. I have a big soft spot for ambient music like this. It’s so different from the norm and often times minimal, but there’s always a looming feeling to it, hence the name “dark ambient”. It might not be for you, but I recommend you give it a spin at least once.
SDreamExplorerS – Ephemeral III: Imhnieńnie Ščaścia | Album | Folk Metal
(The Title is translated to: Ephemeral 3: A Moment Of Happiness)
(English translation of lyrics are found in this link, Special Thanks to Soul Strings for providing them to us )
The following article was Co-written by Drake EmberHeart and Simon the MadhatterBrony.
(PS: do not worry if you can’t understand Pavel’s voice acting in this album, with the english lyrics guide and our article. You the listener should enjoy this album just fine, oh if you do buy the album on Souls’s bandcamp. It comes with the doc with the english translation!)
(Start of Drake Part)
There is a very special place in my heart for musicians that just go the extra mile with their music. The effort, the passion, the hard work writing and composing this type of grand music. Soul Strings and his friends have done just that: a folk tale of a loving father and his filly daughter leaving what they knew to find a cure to the illness that’s slowly killing her. They travel to Equestria from leagues away from their homeland, in the hopes of getting to Canterlot and ask the royal sisters Celestia and Luna to save his daughter’s life with their legendary alicorn magic. With the journey comes how to tell that story with the glory of heavy metal!

StableTwoStallion – Forty | Soundtrack
Wow, talk about ominous. STS’ track here captures that nightmare jet-fuel vibe in the best way. As a Project Horizons OST, this one really sets up the foreboding “unsafe” atmosphere, and is reminiscent of Silent Hill or perhaps Eternal Darkness. A member of the repeat club for sure, but I hope I don’t get nightmares.
Ardhy Mahardhy – Together Until The End | Melodic Dubstep
So, everypony, today we come back to Ardhy Mahardhy (whose music you might have seen on here before) with a lovely Melodic Dubstep track inspired by “The Ending of the End Part 2”. This six minute track is sure to mesmerize you with its lovely synth and sudden in-between string verses. The track starts out with some beautiful piano followed by some exquisite strings which push the piano more into the background until you get a small buildup and the amazing synths set in to really give this thing the Dubstep feel. The synths get a buildup of their very own into the actual drop. The drop adds more synths and creates a really Melodic aura which makes the song even better. After that we get a second verse where the strings take over again and give this track a vibrant, lively feeling before the synths take the lead once more. Then we quickly return to the drop for a worthy end to this six minute masterpiece.

Ocean Melody – Autumn Falls | Orchestral
We all know the feeling of getting done with a hard day of work or school and just wanting to lie down for a while, close our eyes, and let all the stress flow away. This song from Ocean Melody is perfectly suited for that. The five minute track is simple and straightforward, exactly what you want from a chillout track, but its simplicity doesn’t make it boring. It changes throughout with new instruments being introduced while others get taken out which gives the piece a lively feeling. The mellow-but-engaging result is a very difficult target to hit but Melody does it perfectly! And now please enjoy this lovely track.

Nicolas Dominique – The Daybreaking Nightmare | Trance
Something spacey from the mind of Nicolas Dominique. The Daybreaking Nightmare is a trance track dedicated to the dastardly duo of Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. For a track made in a short time for the halloween season, it’s so polished and full of atmosphere. The piano melody, while simple, really sets the tone for the rest of the song alongside the impressive synth riffs and heavenly choir sounds. You can really hear the dynamics between the two sisters throughout the whole thing!
