Any day new pony ska is released is a good day. Maerstrom is a group consisting of fan favourite artists Luck Rock, General Mumble and Thrack, and together with SaxN3ko they are going haywire on this fast-paced (and appropriately goofy) track about everyone’s favourite robot filly!
Original
Blackened Blue – Don’t Count On Me | Metal
Blackened Blue is back with a hybrid G4/G5 metal song! Both Pipp and Rainbow Dash are ponies attracted to fame, and that goes to their heads sometimes. What better way to release all that frustration than by screaming to some thumping metal music?
Ice Angel & loophoof – Friendship Over The Problems (Reunify VII) | Happy Hardcore
Ice Angel is back with another song in his Reunify series. Enjoy the euphoric happy hardcore vibes he is known for, and give props to loophoof, who is accompanying him with his amazing pony vocal chop skills!
Elias Frost – LORD OF CHAOS | Metal
MLP and metal music are a paradoxical but classic combination, and Elias Frost is one of the musicians who carries this unlikely torch. He has brought raw vocals, shredding guitars and banging drums for this track about your favourite draconequus menace.
Canto Acrylic – Shadows | Alternative Rock
Who is the edgiest pony? Stygian is probably one of the strongest contenders. Canto Acrylic used him as inspiration and wrote a sick song filled to the brim with angst and rage.
Piepony – Pieicus | Electronic
Piepony is a hidden gem with just double-digit subscribers. Over the course of 2025, this artist has been releasing tracks in the style of SoGreatAndPowerful. So far we’ve seen songs about Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash, and now we’ve got Pinkie Pie. Give them all a listen and if you liked them, show your appreciation!
RavenFlight – Break the World | Metal
One of the newer musicians to the fandom, RavenFlight, has been pumping out metal bangers like “Break the World”, a fantastic song about Discord’s love for Fluttershy and how far he’s willing to go to protect her. It opens with dark and sinister ambience, accompanied with fun, edgy guitar riffs. It features screaming vocals which are well performed and perfectly match Discord’s character, and sprinkled throughout are chaotic electronic melodies and effects. Make sure to check it out; you certainly wouldn’t want to evoke Discord’s wrath.
Bloc Pony – Goodbye, Tank | Alternative Rock
If you have been to recent European pony conventions, you might have seen Bloc Pony (formerly BlocDrummer) supporting the likes of Blackened Blue and PrinceWhateverer, or as part of Equestrian Echoes. Goodbye, Tank is his first solo pony song: this emotional rock track is about the episode Tanks For The Memories—but reimagined, if the episode was actually about Tank’s passing. Show him your support, so that we may hear more music from Bloc Pony in the future!
SpinScissor – Three Friends Watching Stars Explode | Piano Rock
This song is a smoky yet graceful introspection with a solid backing beat, interweaving several timid yet hopeful anthems throughout. SpinScissor’s description of the song says it
“details the story of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who, on one fateful night, decide to brave the unknown by venturing together deep into the Everfree Forest through the pitch black, and are rewarded greatly for it with a one-of-a-kind memory that they’ll surely never forget.”-SpinScissor
They go on to add a personal note, which says a lot about the tone of this piece-
“As an anxious person, I often struggle to take risks, and I tend to severely overthink even the most small and inconsequential decisions at times. This song serves as a reminder to myself, and to anyone else that may need it, that some risks, no matter how daunting they may seem in the moment, truly are worth taking.”-SpinScissor
All in all, it is well worth the listen, and we hope you enjoy it.
Nyanakaru – TTaGCL | Experimental Electronic Album
Nyanakaru’s latest album, Things That are Good Cannot Last (or TTaGCL for short), drops today, and true to its name, the album has a very existential sound. It’s full of experimental electronic ambience filled with glitchy, chiptune-esque sounds with each track pulling in influence from a different genre like trance, latin or hip-hop. The sound design is incredible, especially with its choice of percussion samples, and its constant shifting sounds leaves listeners wondering what’s next to come.
The album is on the shorter side, so make sure to give it a quick listen! Below the break you’ll find some of my favorite tracks
