Another track from Evershade’s Troublemaker album is up on their channel! “Those Nights” begins with a bouncy synth lead, and the sparkly synth choices don’t end there! A bouncy bass follows and more soaring leads get groovy during the chorus. Evershade’s vocoded vocals fit right into the synths, and if you listen carefully, you’ll hear the relatable tale of a pony caught out at the club, wanting to escape. On the bright side, if you can’t manage to leave, at least you’ll be stuck listening to this bop.
Blackened Blue – Save Me | Metal
Do you ever wish you could scream at the pony causing all your problems? Blackened Blue’s track, “Save Me,” is just that, with screaming vocals telling the story of Misty’s thoughts directed towards Opaline.

From there it transitions between high intensity sections full of roars and shredding and lower intensity walking melodic lines. It’s absolutely fire so make sure to check it out.

Wandering Artist – Pony Town Seasons: Autumn – 03 First Wind | Orchestral
Wandering Artist’s third track from their Autumn EP, “First Wind,” is a wonderful and warm song perfectly fitting of the season. It opens with a lovely duet between guitar and marimba, then violin, oboe, clarinet, flute, piano and harp are added in over the course of the song with each getting their own turn in the spotlight before blending back in to the mix. The piece is light and airy overall, making it the perfect track to cozy up to any time of year!
StableTwoStallion – Pinkamena | Industrial Gothic Metal
Video CW: violence, blood, flashing lights
Time to brush up on your German, because we have another terrifically dark piece by StableTwoStallion! Posted on Halloween, it is the perfect mix of heavy electric guitar, traditional Halloween organ, and a deeper gothic-style vocal. The way Stable articulates the words has the perfect edge to make this song a truly creepy vibe, perfect for that darker Halloween theming.
Biscuit – SOMBRA (2023 redux) | Deathcore
Biscuit’s “SOMBRA (2023 redux)” is the kind of track which will have you wondering whether you are listening to My Little Pony fan music or a metal band fresh out of hell because this has got to be one of the most dark, the most intense, the most hardcore songs in the fandom. It starts with the thundering of guitars and immediately jumps to intensity 10 with its throbbing bass drum, wailing guitars, and screaming vocals. Listen carefully, and you’ll hear tons of references to Sombra’s tyranny and great quips like “you will not live any longer / your stupid friendship isn’t stronger.” Mid song, there’s a break as it eases into a more ambient section with strings and long guitar plucks before it returns to its screaming conclusion. As it stands, the track is absolutely killer, but will you be brave enough to listen all the way through?
Metal Core Pony – Wildfire | Pop Punk
Always an exciting name to see, Metal Core Pony returns to the scene with “Wildfire”, an emotional and personal track of break-up, regret, and subsequently looking forward for the chance of something better. MCP features plenty of signature guitar riffs to carry a lot of instrumental melody over a fast, rock instrumental reminiscent of the late 90s skate punk style. There are sudden shifts to soft, slow, acoustic sections creating a sense of looking back on worse times before going back into the fast, riff heavy parts to work through the anger and move forward. Wildfire is a fun and exciting hit from an old fandom name!
ElectroKaplosion – Filly Mingon | Ambient/Psydub
Last year the MareQuest game released, and one of its outstanding features was the music accompanying you on your journey to save Equestria. While the game and soundtrack had its quiet moments when traversing the lands, the threat of the Shadow Mares together with their more darker tunes was always accompanying you on your travels, and Filly Mingon is a perfect embodyment of this feeling. Starting slowly using the sounds of a keyboard, the sudden appearance of a heavy dub sound conveys what you and your companions are up against masterfully and makes the song a joy to listen to!
Algo at All – lemons are nice | Plunderphonics
Algo at All has released another track that’ll make you fall in love with a background pony you may have forgotten. “lemons are nice” is a tribute to Lemon Hearts and makes full use of her vocal lines from the show, though the track is so much more than that! It features many synths all blended together, from basics sounds like square waves, wailing whistles, and bloops to form an adorable texture that will make your (lemon) heart melt! It also features other clever sounds like plucked strings and horse trotting for percussion. There’s just so many wonderful sounds that this track will have you listening on repeat to enjoy them all!
