Much love and joy from those melodies indeed, that will stay with us as we keep spreading smiles to the world!
Misc
[P@D] Frozen Night – Glaciation | Symphonic Metal
Another can’t miss track from the brand new compilation album Ponies at Dawn: Eternal comes Frozen Night’s Glaciation. The orchestral elements set the stage with a light, wintry beginning before diving full force into a metal power theme. Frozen Night is a master at creating vivid imagery of nature with instruments and this composition will take you back and forth between the peaceful ambiance of a cool winter scene and the intensity of a full blizzard. The orchestral strings mixed with heavy drumming and electric guitar make for a piece that is sure to get you pumped!
Jessica Vaughn, Jess Furman & John Jennings Boyd – Let It Rain (Ice Angel Remix) | Future House
Some good old future house is always nice to see, and Ice Angel did a great job here with a bright, metallic melody and a very bouncy bass line. This remix is short and sweet, but that’s all it needs as it makes solid use of its time bringing out a much different flavour.
[P@D] Jyc Row – Lunar Rebellion [月の反逆 / Tsuki no Hangyaku] (feat. Satomi) | Soundtrack
Jyc Row strikes again. Track from Ponies at Dawn Eternal, he’s teamed up with a singer who goes by the name Satomi, who also wrote the lyrics about Luna and Celestia fighting as part of the Lunar Republic, in Japanese, no less! What follows is a beautiful orchestral soundtrack piece with powerful electronic percussion, creating something that sounds straight out of an anime. It’s not often we get Japanese songs in the fandom, so this is a nice change of pace!
Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Rod Steven Acoustic Remix) | Acoustic Ballad
An oldie but a goodie, Rod Steven has remixed Luna; A staple in the fandom and this version of the song gives a more laid back and infectious mood to the piece. Mellow rolling acoustic harmonies following a bright piano and the all too familiar vocals, This ballad-esque re-imagining is great to unwind to and harken back to yesteryear.
BinExis – New Old Beginning | Power Metal
Now this is something I don’t see too often. A power metal cover of two Italian openings from different generations of My Little Pony. This is a fun one with a strong leading flute and pretty nice riffs that also lean on some orchestral and pop-like elements. I never thought this is something I would need but I’m glad this had crossed my path now. Excellent work BinExis!
Dizzy Inmotion – The Sunset Shimmer Show | Hip-Hop
Dizzy is a rising star and it is easy to see why with such incredible flow and lyrics! The Sunset Shimmer Show is written from the perspective of the lead Equestria Girl herself tearing down a Battle of the Bands, Diz very cleverly plays up Sunset while knocking on the competition. The instrumental is simple, yet complimentary of the rapping, and the rapping is captivating!
Vylet Pony – Colourless | Solo Piano
There’s no stopping Vylet, is there? Track 14 from her album Love Letters: Colourless as well as the title track, it’s an emotional instrumental piece. Consisting of just a piano and the sounds of rain, it perfectly accents the diary entry included with the album, describing Rainbow Dash’s feelings for Rarity as she listens to a piece of music entitled Mistress, said to be written by the latter (though in reality was written by Vylet, and appeared on the Love Letters album). Sometimes you don’t need words to get your message across.
Viricide Filly – Yet Sightless | Album | Experimental / Dream House
In tandem with This Place Will Never Let Me Leave, Yet Sightless is the mane album and showcase of what Viricde has been up to, that we’ve been excited about for a while. And oh boy, was it worth the wait! Such incredible compositions are blowing us away and that from the start, as Eleanor’s story unfolds in musical form. Check out the full story from the description on Bandcamp! Experimental, refined, creative, and harmonious, the masterpieces are bringing such melodic bliss along the amazing basslines and vocals in pure Viricide Filly style, as we dive in atmospheres from unseen realms!
Kallo Skull – Beauty Trapped in Chrysalis | Orchestral
Quite a powerful start for a channel debut, Kallo Skull’s Chrysalis-themed Orchestral beauty is bringing all the emotion of violins, in a grand progression featuring even choirs near the end. A lot of the character depth of our beloved antagonist is subtly expressed here, and that was definitely a most wonderful initiative! Here’s to a bright future of musical endeavors for Kallo!
