Blurain decided to bring the bass guitar for this one, and it was definitely justified with this awesome tune! “Shadow on the Moon” presents Celestia’s point of view after banishing Luna to the moon. The strength put into the vocals definitely shows the pain and regret the princess felt afterwards. Enjoy this song as it describes the hidden agony of being separated from your sister for a thousand years!

El Nulevoe – Power Metal Cartoon Horse 3: The Metalling | Metal
El Nulevoe is back with the third installment in the Power Metal Cartoon Horse series! This one is much more brooding than the others, starting with deep and dark guitar riffs and developing intensity with its high pitched synth. The vocals are as strong and fierce as ever despite them describing the woes of Celestia’s kingdom destroyed by battles in previous songs. It’s still as zany as ever too, with its epic scream and snarky, self-aware subtitles.
John Kenza & 4everfreebrony – Warm (Trey Husk Remix) | Progressive House
Trey Husk (previously known as FORSAKE) is back with another house remix, this time of John Kenza & 4everfreebrony’s “Warm.” It opens with spacious ambience, highlighting 4everfreebrony’s vocals and trickling in piano chords and strings until it hits the first drop. The second half is simply stunning, with an orchestral section adding tons of warmth to the track before it all comes thundering down in an explosive arrival at the second drop, mixing in the insane guitar solo of the original. Incredible work!
PumpkinZeta – Sad Beats | Ambient / Chillwave
Sorrowful in tone, PumpkinZeta’s latest track, “Sad Beats” is a song that can both highlight the quiet calm amidst the storm, yet still present the warm, small ray of hope peeking through the clouds. It can minister even more peace and comfort to the troubled soul than something more upbeat in sound. Simple synth plucks backed by cool ambient pads lay down a chill atmosphere to soothe a tired mind, while the soft, lilting drop beats fly the listener away to dreamland. In the busy world of today backed by so much glaring noise, sometimes even the most bright and happy of tracks can feel like they’re only adding to the spinning cacophony that demands our attention at every turn. This track includes more uplifting moments to help emphasize an even more melancholy sound to bring peace to a weary listener.
Ethan Toavs – A Guiding Light | Orchestral
When it’s about releasing new orchestral music, Ethan Toavs never fails to surprise us! This time with a song bringing harmony and peace to soothe our ears. A Guiding Light keeps us on our hooves with dynamic rhythm, while still giving long releases to calm our minds. So make yourself some tea, lay back, and let the relieving song take it from there!
Blackened Blue – Bring You Back (feat. Celica Soldream) | Nu-Metal
Blackened Blue blesses us with another banger! This time with a song about Trixie’s distress after losing someone close. Not only does it contain a collab with Celica Soldream – which gave me literal chills due to how well their voices sound together – but the whole rhythm and strength of the guitar, as well as the other instruments, clearly expresses the pain and sadness felt after a grief. Embark on a song that transforms the shadows of grief into a literal anthem of resilience!
TM – Forever [Remastered] | Plunderphonics
THE Toby Macaroni is back with an upgraded version of Forever, a piece written almost entirely from short pieces of many G4 songs. The compositional choices for song segments, as well as use of sound space are mesmerizing with how they work when played together and fun to challenge yourself to remember which songs they are from. The sensation that comes from listening to this track (especially through headphones!) cannot be adequately described, only experienced.
