When I first read the title I was amazed. Metalcore Pony and Djohn in the same track?! Only quality music would come from this duo. The subject of the song is also something really deep, dealing with our disablities. This time is arrhythmia. It could be any other disease or difficulty.
The song itself is amazing, I love how the atmospheric and raw/angry elements mix together, it gives the song a blackned sound. The screams are well done, and the mixing is pretty good. This song is a treat if you like atmospheric and etheral metalcore. A thing that is very present in Converge’s songs.

[ASOS] Koron Korak – Time is Running Out (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | Folk Metal
Heavy Metal and emotional violin meet in this uplifting and epic piece from A State of Sugar Ice Cream! Born from the union of the talents of Koron Korak and SDreamExplorerS, it brings that pony cheer along an awesome animation and a deep meaning about the flow of time!
Blackened Blue – Silent Rage | Metal
Blackened Blue’s first song with vocals is such an awesome follow-up to S08E23 Sounds of Silence and the deep psychological meanings from it! With lyrics reflecting the story, vocals expressing a kirin’s suppressed emotions, and a rocking instrumental bringing all the heavy metal vibes, Silent Rage is such a masterpiece of concept and music!
Black Electric – Guardians | Metal
Black Electric’s new track is a tribute to the Royal Guards, and it’s such a welcomed treat as we don’t get that many tracks about them (though Evgeniy Doctor and Brilliant Venture’s track Royal Guard certainly does come to mind), and their hard work around the castle and beyond definitely deserves some love and attention! Black Electric brings the intense and epic vibes with this Metal instrumental that definitely works so well as a cool anthem for the dedicated knights!
Brownie – Smile (Pinkie Pie Smile Metal Cover) | Metal
Brownie has an incredible talent for metalcore composition, and this cover of the Smile Song is a great example of his range. Starting out in more of a pop-punk style to match the lightness of the original song, Brownie transitions into metal while playing impressively technical guitar riffs over fast, moving drums. The track features a fantastic metalcore breakdown before bringing all of the styles together for the big finish. Brownie went all out to even make a music video featuring his many play-styles with great effects and humorous scenes.
Crashie Tunez – Tattered Romantics | Album | Nintendocore / Cybergrind
Expressing a personal story through music, Crashie crafted this album using his signature musical style and it’s so good to get a new release from him as part of noise.horse’s latest marathon of releases! Fast, brutal and with chiptune notes, the tracks are delivering much power! Get the full album from Bandcamp, it’s available as physical CDs too which is so awesome!
[ASOS] Cynifree & Reverbrony – Windigo | Electronic / Metal
Compilation albums are always home to such lovely collabs, and Ice Cream certainly saw the birth and rise of many! In addition to his collab with Zizkil From Here To Where, Cynifree gathered the help of the one and only Reverbrony to lay out such blissful guitar riffs among the gorgeous electronic instrumental! The whole track is quite epic and the progressive aspect certainly is reminiscent of Reverbrony’s signature style! A very successful collab, shining with the union of the two musicians’ talents!
Osoch – One More Day (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
To celebrate the holiday season, Osoch has graced us with a high-charged, metal version of One More Day from the “Best Gift Ever” special. He orchestrates the instrumental around the vocals from the show and does so very well! The guitars are crisp and pack a punch while the drums drive the beat very well (and impress with powerful double kicks at times!). Of course it wouldn’t be holiday music without some violins which Osoch uses as the perfect accent to bring everything together!
PrinceWhateverer – Not Letting Go (Redux) (feat. Poni1Kenobi, MantaTsubasa & Scrambles) | Metal
Another classic from PrinceWhateverer, this time he and the crew are singing about Fluttershy! Not Letting Go is a group collaboration dealing with the concepts of low self-esteem and self-idealization from the point of view of the beloved yellow pegasus. MantaTsubasa takes over vocals for a verse, using her talents to tell Fluttershy’s feelings from the first person point of view, and P1K and CGScrambles fill in beautifully on vocal harmonies.
Reverbrony – Fortune’s Favour | Groove Metal
And the last one in today’s streak of Rock/Metal posts, is Reverbrony’s bi-weekly piece full of many rocking wonders! A progression of awesome riffs is blowing us away, and it feels so good to join Reverbrony in imagining that it could be Starlight playing all this! I’d certainly attend to her gig, and same for Reverbrony!
