As a nostalgic nod to early community songs made toward the moving setting of Scootaloo’s character, Sable Symphony composed a much enjoyable tribute to the not-so-young anymore filly in his own style. Going for a heavy and fitting Post-Hardcore direction, the musician also graces the song with both soft and harsh vocals, bringing out the concept and the lyrics with much energy and beauty.

PrinceWhateverer – Yūgure no Kagayaki (feat. Sable Symphony) | Rock / Metal
Inspired by shonen anime OP/opening songs, the unstoppable PrinceWhateverer teamed up with Sable Symphony once more for a rocking collab. Imbued with a concept written in the description, the song definitely gives much energetic anime vibes, the kind of spirit that makes you confident that you’ll be able to save the world with your friends, through Prince’s vocals and instrumental as well as Sable’s backing vocals that all do wonders.
[OUT OF LIMIT 1.5] Crashie Tunez – Pegasi | Nintendocore / Cybergrind
Crashie Tunez explodes onto the scene with their track from the compilation album OUT OF LIMIT 1.5: Pony Love To Pedrógão Grande hosted by The Experimental Bronies and noise.horse. This tune assaults the senses with raw and powerful instrumentation, distorted and brutal vocals and the strangled cries of an NES. Chiptune and grindcore meet in a fiery fusion that psychotically and mercilessly powers forward like a bullet train, switching between verses and 8-bit synths while a pumping percussion loop rolls on. The track schitzophrenically jumps between melodies and finally crashes to an end with a shocking sound that jolts like an electric current, and the only thing to do after that is to hit repeat. Definitely a unique take on hardcore metal genres, and certainly a rare treat for those bronies who love their music HARD.
Brownie – Gimme RD (covering ismBoF) | Metal
Thanks a ton to Brownie for giving us this amazing cover of an older fandom song. As a brony who got on this ride in 2010, I can remember when the original song by ismBoF came out. Listening to this cover literally brought me to tears. The feeling of nostalgia brought me back to the early days, so thank you Brownie, your cover is amazing and backed up by some awesome guitar playing. I can definitely say I will be rocking out to this for a while. \m/
Segments Of Life – Cube | Trancecore / Hybrid Trap
Segments of Life is one that projects that always surprise me, because of the genres that the project brings, this case, Trancecore. Trancecore is a really rare genre on brony fandom, probably you may have hear some Melodic Metalcore with Trance influences on some PrinceWhateverer or Sable Symphony songs. But Segments of Life is a different way of using the Trancecore elements, in Segments’ songs we have more Trance elements that Melodic Metalcore ones, so that’s why I say that Trancecore is a rare genre in brony fandom.
After this introduction, let’s talk about the song, Cube has really amazing guitar riffs, look like some really Djenty or Progressive Metalcore guitar riff. The symphonic pads used are also really atmospheric and give to the song an ethereal aspect. The synths and the drums joint the song and make the song really awesome. And then that Hybrid Trap drop at the end it’s really amazing, I felt chills when I first listened to it! Really amazing mixing of genres.
This song and more other 7 are featured in Segments’ newest album, The Vivid Dream, where the main genre is Trancecore, but it’s mixed with a lot of genres. (Segments even created a track called Don’t Care About Genres.) All the 8 songs are available on youtube or you can listen to the whole thing on bandcamp.
Chris Wöhrer – Don’t Go Back | Technical Death Metal / Progressive Metal
Chris Wöhrer returns with a headbanging song about the Season 5 finale, with progressive guitar riffs, great usage of blast beats and a tremendous bass rifing and with wild guttural vocals!
Everything sounds amazingly good, one of the best tracks that Wöhrer produced, first we have the aggressive and headbanging part, the part that I really loved but then the things chill down and start a progressive and atmospheric guitar solo with a great bass use and then the vocals arrive again and the song become aggressive again! This path on the song is really well performed and planned. And I love Wöhrer gutturals, they are amazing!
Elias Frost – You’re In My Head Like A Catchy Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Symphonic Metal
Orchestral elements, a lot of deep emotions and Till Lindemann-like vocals, this is how I describe Elias Frost’s most recent cover! One of the best artists that the brony fandom has gave us this days.
When I listen to this song, the only thing I think is RAMMSTEIN! Oh my, this is really like one of Rammstein’s ballads like Mutter,Mein Herz Brennt or Ohne Dich, the symphonic elements, the drum work and the rough and kickass vocals give big Rammstein vibes! I really love how Elias re-imagined the song and how he give to the song the feels of loss, sadness and mourning. A really emotional and headbanging surprise!
Looking forward to see Elias ponifying Rammstein or doing a Rammstein cover! Because Elias gave us signs (1st and 2nd) that he is the Till Lindemann of the brony fandom.
Sable Symphony – Monday Blues (cover) | Pop-Rock
I’ve not actually seen any of the EQG Summertime Shorts, but I don’t imagine this counts as any kind of spoiler ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The poppy original version of this songs transfers really well into a guitar-based song though, and Sable’s voice really packs a punch in the choruses!
PrinceWhateverer – Constellations (Redux feat. Cadie) | Melodic Metalcore / Trancecore
PrinceWhateverer returns with a redux of one of his best songs – Constellations! The King of Brony Melodic Metalcore invited one of my favorite female singers of the moment Cadie for making the beautiful vocals in the breakdown! And her vocals are really sweet and chilling!
Talking about vocals, Prince’s vocals are also pretty good! I really loved his vocal songs, it reminds me of that Melodic Metalcore acts that only have clean vocals aka Scene Punk. The instrumental is the same as the previous song but has a better mastering and mixing! And one thing I love in the instrumental along with the trancecore classical electronic elements, the guitar riffs are really well done. The breakdown is one of the highest points in the instrumental, not just because of the progression to the synths, but because of the drumming! Also the robotic vocals used in some parts are also really awesome, Prince really wanted to do a Trancecore tune! This one rocks! \m/
[P@D] Jyc Row & Francis Vace – More Cider! | Folk Metal
A prime example of a perfect time to drink the most popular drink down in Equestria. Jyc Row and Francis Vace show exactly how you should do it, with good and strong vocals to guide you through. This absolutely rocks! (no pun intended) Not only that, it’s also the perfect quality of good taste. In other words, it’s also worth giving your ears a listen as they are being drenched in such awesomeness!
This track is available as part of the Ponies at Dawn album Guardians!
