The #1 bringer of Prog Rock in the community, Lunar Drift provided anew with a 7-minutes progressive beauty, full of nods to previous tracks but also of new ideas. Let the distinct sound of the Rickenbacker 4003S bass guide you in this new musical world themed around Discord!
[P@D] General Mumble – Bliss Out (feat. Koa) | Reggae
General Mumble and Koa‘s collab from Ponies at Dawn Ignite is such a welcome tribute to Tree Hugger, and my third favorite from the album! The unusual musical genre that is so fitting for the theme, the amazing vocals, the chill atmosphere, and the emotion from the bass, all make this a timeless masterpiece to savor without moderation! We love you Tree Hugger! Thank you General Mumble and Koa for this treat!
RedSpark – Evolve | House
Spontaneously making fan works in response to episodes you’ve just watched is so wonderful to see, and while rewatching the series RedSpark saw fit to pay tribute to Princess Twilight just getting crowned as the Princess of Friendship in the S3 finale! There’s celebration and joy in the air of this piece, and it’s definitely very lovely to listen to!
[P@D] Jyc Row & PrinceWhateverer – Together, Against the Sisters | Symphonic Metal
This might be one of the best orchestral metal songs the fandom may ever see. Track 6 on the freshly-released Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is Together, Against the Sisters, a collaboration between Jyc Row and PrinceWhateverer along with Spanish singer Celica Soldream, and the result is insane. Lyrically, the song paints a picture of a battle between an army and the evils that lurk Equestria through Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon. PW and Celica’s harmonies go very well together, perfectly complimenting the optimistic melodies brought by the heavy guitars and brooding strings. That solo, though!
Koron Korak – Face Your Fate (feat. Twilight Sparkle) | Synth Rock
Koron Korak’s back with a brand new song based around the season 4 finale. Face Your Fate takes its inspiration from synthwave tracks while adding distorted guitars to give it some edge. The occasional audio sample from the episode can be heard as a decent callback to the episode that inspired it. Glad to hear how amazing this turned out after a year in the making!
[P@D] Hoofy – Shattered Gems VIP | Riddim/Psytrance
Hoofy is back with a heavy hitting VIP of their already great track, ‘Shattered Gems’! This one infuses the already dirty song with even filthier basses and gives off a hell of a lot of energy, especially by the time the second half rolls around, switching things up with an energetic psytrance twist that blends perfectly with the rest of the track. A stellar tune and it deserves its spot as a pre-release for Ponies At Dawn’s newest album: Ignite, which just so happens to be available now!
Alex S. – Party With Pinkie (D3LTA Remix) | Dubstep
Sometimes musicians underestimate the power of influence and inspiration. Influence and inspiration may be the most powerful elements in music overall. Influence most definitely drove this reimagining of Alex S.’s song “Party with Pinkie” by D3LTA, as proven by the recreation of the vocals and transcription of the composition by D3LTA’s own hand. With the skeleton of Alex S.’s song, D3LTA has crafted two refreshing drops with recent dubstep influences. This beautiful remix shows true dedication!
Pernegyre – Discordant Chaos | Hardcore
What time is it? Hardcore time! This most recent release from Pernegyre on Equestrian Terror Corps introduces itself with breaks and kicks that have a classic hardcore flavor. Acting as the backbone of the track, they’re accompanied by the trance-like melodies of the keys and supersaws. An ambient interlude leads the song to one final chorus before ultimately resolving. Another great song off of ETC!
Daniel Ingram – Celestia’s Ballad (Snow Swirl Remix) | Chillout / Future Garage
Snow Swirl has done something really nice here with Celestia’s Ballad. Its a very spacey and airy take on a classic by combining elements of chillout and future garage. The result being something very soothing to the soul with a nice peppering of soulful grit. An excellent job and I’m excited to see where this artist goes from here!
[P@D] PSFMer – Wonders | Liquid Drum & Bass
In a surprise twist, Drumscape Library have provided another prerelease track from Ponies at Dawn: Ignite, this one being the 67th track, Wonders! Primarily known for his SFM animations, PSFMer has recently started dabbling in music, particularly drum & bass. Wonders is exactly that, and has an amazing atmosphere with Fluttershy’s emotional vocal chops and a drum beat that doesn’t overwhelm the mood. Look out for Ignite later today!
