Biscuit – This Is Where The Good Bit Starts | Metal Album
We’re dragged in hollow ambience, dispiritedness rings in the air as monstrous guitar riffs creeps upon us accompanied by slow drums quaking the realm. We just stumbled inside the wilderness of Biscuit’s first metal album and there is no exit till the end as we will be tangled by the pressure of radiating demonic screams, restless and torching deep guitar tones, breakdowns of dynamite blasts and double time meteorite drumming throughout this electrifying album.
This Is Where The Good Bit Starts.

SlightlyAmiss – Horse Enough | Post-Hardcore
Alright ponies, time to not take ourselves too serious for a while, cause neither does this song! ‘Horse Enough’ is essentially a stab against people who get elitist about how Pony the music their favourite musician makes is, it’s a song dedicated to all those ‘mlp…please’ people who think they can make demands about the content of songs of their favourite artists. Of course as you’d expect from a SlightlyAmiss song this also includes some nods to fandom memes in both lyrics and artwork, a good example being a line that references the old ‘jar’ and the nod to Vylet Pony’s ‘Antonymph’ in a poster in the artwork. This song kinda portrays a toxic side of people’s dedication to the fandom, where people get entitled to their favourite fandom musicians only producing pony music and if they don’t, they get people saying it’s ‘not Horse Enough’. So apart from this song being an absolute pleasure to listen to, it also provides some nice food for thought.
MelodyBrony – ROYALTY | Metalcore
Always a treat getting a new metallic track from MelodyBrony, they’ve definitely been on a roll lately! The mid 2000’s vibes are strong here, with a very melodic vocal lead complimenting the steady beat and hauntingly beautiful string section. There’s something to be said for a song that says its piece and doesn’t overstay its welcome, and ROYALTY doesn’t go on any longer than it needs to; but if you’re anything like me, it’ll just be on repeat for a good while.
Jyc Row & Gabriel Borza – Aqasha, Goddess of Destruction (feat. Marko Duplisak) | Metal
Today we bring to you this lovely metal cover of Aqasha, Goddess of Destrucion. Jyc Row got together quite a few people for this: The original lyrics were written by Shelley Harland, and covered by the amazing Marko Duplisak. Together with guitars and drums by Gabriel Borza, and of course all the work by Jyc himself this cover is a lovely variation to the usual orchestral focus in the Infinite Eclipse series and definitely worth a listen!
MelodyBrony – DECEIVED | Metal
I could count on one hand the releases from MelodyBrony I didn’t care for, if I had a hand with zero fingers. First premiering at EFNW 2022, “Deceived” knocks it out of the park right from get-go, with hard hitting riffs and powerful singing throughout. You won’t find harsh vocals or flashy solos here, this one’s all about the raw feeling of desperation coming from the Pony of Shadows himself. It’s a fabulous showcase of bitterness and betrayal, and a deserving member of the repeat club~
Nugget – Pesticide | Metal
I always love me some good ‘ol Metal, always. And it’s always nice to see people fullfill their dreams. Such as Nugget has done here, who always wanted to make his own Metal track! And so, he finally did with the help of Blackened as his back-up for this track. Telling a short but epic story of the fight being ON between Celestia and Chrysalis… HYPE HYPE HYPE! I LOVE this song! The tension really gets through the instrumentals here, and the structure really is well set-up here. I head-bang to this as I write this Article. Nugget really put himself out there with this Track and I hope he’ll get the spotlight he deserves for it! Who knows what the follow up to this song will sound like… (and yes, that IS a hint to make a follow up song, Nug. DO IT.)
4everfreebrony – The Finest Creatures Ever (feat. Brittney Ackerman) [Covering Aphylliate] | Pirate Metal
PrinceWhateverer – Ghost in the Sun – Metal
The trials of sisterhood between Celestia and Luna and the stories told before the “Friendship is Magic” series are still evolving even as fanfiction has been created for years in this fandom. Ghost in the Sun stands out with deep emotional and psychological turmoil between the sisters. PrinceWhateverer zones in and locks you deep into the minds of the overarching events. The extremely hard melodies of heavy metal only act as a lightning rod to pull you in more to feel that you are right there watching things play out. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
