From Equinity 01: Stellar, LaunchSix released Marshmallow. This one is a lot of fun for the bass heads out there with powerful percussion and screaming basslines and leads. This piece pulls out all the stops and keeps the energy pumping throughout!
Misc
Tadpole – S.O.S |Industrial/Ambient
Cookies…
Nightmare Night is upon us, and what better way to celebrate it than with a deeply creepy piece from Tadpole? What we’ve been served is something that wouldn’t be out of place in a horror game, as it spends the first 2 minutes building up atmosphere with a droning synth lines and distant sound effects before eventually adding in more elements, like a bass that compliments the already strong atmosphere. Soon after, we’re treated to the addition of strong drums lifted straight from a dubstep track alongside a creepy distorted synth riff. Board up your windows, because the cookie zombies are coming!
Marcus Warner – First Flight 2019 | Orchestral
The 2012 masterpiece First Flight gets revamped by the maestro himself, and it is on brand new skies that we can now re-experience the Scootaloo-themed beauty. With an impressive progression and an intense buildup reflecting the emotion of Scootaloo’s First Flight, this new version definitely hypes up Marcus’ “Reprise EP” some more!
Zephysonas – Equestria at War (feat. Osoch & Soul Strings) | Epic Orchestral
Matching an epic artwork of the finale with epic music, Zephysonas provides such an intense theme featuring lovely melodies, as well as Osoch on the drums and Soul Strings on the bass. A team effort, strong enough to vanquish these villains for sure!
[P@D] NeverLastStanding – To Home | Rock / Happy Hardcore
Track 6 of Ponies at Dawn: Eternal is the album’s first rock-driven song, and serves as a brilliant tribute to the show. All throughout the song are fast-paced drums, major key synths and to top it all off, MLP vocal chops which are even spliced together to make new lyrics. The song also has three different phases, starting off which electronically-charged rock music reminiscent of an anime, a brief orchestral segment to slow things down, and then towards the end, a big build up before going into a fully electronic motif lead by a powerful kick sound in front of the cheery synths. The track makes it clear that the show has left its mark on us, and it feels like the mane 6 are singing directly to us!
Damien Nagy – Salvation | Soundtrack
Another OST track used for Damien’s MP3 Saga “Erebys” and composed by Damien himself, this song is not only providing a BGM accompaniment to the scene, but enacts the dialogue as well with beautiful vocals sung in French. We don’t often get French songs in the community, so this is very welcome! The second episode of the MP3 Saga is out, by the way!
Rusty Thorsell – The Gibble The Gooble | Indie Pop
It’s Spooktober, and our beloved Rusty answered the call to make a fittingly spooky track! With the unique-ness that you’d expect, The Gibble The Gooble enacts a wonky dialogue further depicted by the cover art, and playful melodies are blending with the eldritch vocals so well!
Remember Falling – The Sun is Dark | Hybrid Orchestral
After a long hiatus, Remember Falling has returned with her first track since April, The Sun is Dark. This one in particular is a piece from her upcoming album Dawn Into Dusk, and the emotion felt in this song is palpable. From both the vocals with lyrical themes of recovery and longing to be found to the hybrid orchestral backing which starts off slowly before picking up and then climaxing with a big boost in tempo towards the end, this number is a great example of what RF is capable of. Dawn Into Dusk might also be coming out before this year ends, so keep an eye out!
Dizzy Inmotion – Miss Shimmer | Hip-Hop
The continuation to the story of Dizzy’s concept album, this musical part happening after the previous skit is enacting Sunset’s inner battle with the darkness in her! Epic lyrics and vocals of much conviction are playing the struggle so well, and a lot more depth just got added as the excitement for what will happen next is reaching its climax!
4everfreebrony – Someone Like Me (covering Aviators) | Soft Rock
4everfreebrony returns, this time with a brilliant cover of Aviators‘ classic track Someone Like Me! 4efb’s take on the original feels just as emotional, though with a more guitar-driven backing; it sounds like a band playing live in a studio. It’s hard to go wrong with his covers, and this one’s a good example as to why.
