If music that screams grimdark is more your style, then come on in! AnimatronicPony gives shy and timid Fluttershy the possessed and psychopath flavor for track 17 of Pinkamena Party 8. Oh dear! You’ve walked right into a party where it sounds like Fluttershy wants a little bit more than just your company, and she invites you to come out to her shed. The deep and haunting bass, the unsettling hard synths and that pounding harmonic bassline all give this track the aggressive taste it has. Sure makes ya think about what you just walked into and how to GET OUT! The video that comes with this track makes that point pretty clear. Flutters is upping her game in trying to scare her friends. The bronies over at Pinkamena Party always aim to please and bring the heavy and hard to this music community. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[Helpie’s Corner] Altius Volantis – Retrospection | Synthwave
You have accidentally traveled to the past, now you are in 1980, but it is not a problem, because you have finally found a perfect place to find yourself again and do retrospection on your decisions. Well, this would be the perfect soundtrack for such a situation.
Altius Volantis transports us to the past with his newest song, during the first seconds of the song you can feel all the eighties air, with the reverberated drums and the primitive synthesizers that dominated that era. Little by little, it surrounds us with airy pads that gradually dominate the song, until in a moment they fall silent and make way for a new synthesizer that makes a sticky but dark melody, little by little those pads that were echoes of the past return to appear to harmonize with the nostalgic melody, it is quite a journey, undoubtedly the soundtrack of some science fiction movie of the 80s, but with ponies as protagonists!
This song is just a preview for the upcoming album Helpie’s Corner: “Shelter of Hope”.
Nyancat380 – Bass Theory EP | Hardcore
Nyancat380’s EP has one very strong message. His talent to make hardcore genes blend with other eletronic music genres. It’s a tale of pure psychosis of one Lyra Heartstrings on her quest to find if humans or more so bronies are real. A quest that has done a number on her mind. Nyancat has this passion for horror storytelling with his creative music making for a popular headcanon in brony history his own thing. But enough talking. Let’s check this out, I may add that these genres of music may not be for everyone, but its really cool to hear the creative music making of this EP.
(Continued after the break)
AC-527 – Diamond in the Rough | Melodic Dubstep
Don’t get afraid to get dirty with this song!, AC-27 gives us a splendid melodic track. Inspired by how glamorous and elegant Rarity is, (our favorite marshmallow), throughout the track you can feel all that characteristic shine of Rarity, occupying all kinds of synthesizers and bright sounds, with very emotional and catchy melodies, even occupying the voice of Rarity in the 26th episode of the classic and nostalgic season 1, but AC-27 puts a sensational twist on it with an autotune effect, which gives a special feel to the whole song. Like a diamond in the rough on a nostalgic journey full of shine, listen.
This song is quite an experience, a great and brilliant experience, do not hesitate to listen to it!
SeriousDamir – Witch Of Despair – The Сonsequences | Liquid Drum & Bass
A beautifully haunting Liquid DnB piece from SeriousDamir that seems to explore certain mysteries, or a part of Twilight’s psyche… There’s just so much intriguing vibes and depth in the music, with many different instruments used, including a guitar!
Koron Korak – A Storm of Emotions | Drum & Bass
New cuddly release from Koron, always with the cutest genres, this time “Fluffy Drum & Bass”! It really could be the inception of a new genre, with the distinct cute and mellow melodies in the song portraying the emotions of Friendship beautifully, and that time when you reflect on your bonds while looking at the stars…
Vylet Pony – Scapeghosts (feat. PrinceWhateverer & Foozogz) | Synthrock
Strap in fellas today we’ve got ourselves a longer track by the wonderful Vylet Pony. The song starts out with a dreamy beat that really gives it a mysterious yet calming feel, and then the lyrics set in and really steal the show. Later the singing stops and we once more hear the amazing beat this time accompanied by some great guitar tunes until the lyrics set in once more and tell us some more about the scapeghosts but quickly the lyrics are once more replaced by a slightly different sounding beat that shows you even if this is a seven minute track it will not get boring whatsoever, after that the lyrics start once more and to end of the beat takes over once more accompanied by some more stellar guitar tunes. Overall this song might be the longest one I’ve ever done an article on but oh sweet Celestia it doesn’t get boring, in fact the switch between lyrics and just beat make this song feel even more lively than it already is.
Proto_ssin – Lands (feat. Koron Korak) | Progressive House
Today fellow bronies we’ve got ourselves a great track by Proto_ssin. The track starts out with the beat and some tunes and builds up until it transitions into a lovely piano solo and slowly adds other tunes again while still keeping the piano in the foreground until the beat takes over once again and builds up until it eclipses in the chorus and without any exaggeration as I heard the drop for the first time it nearly blew me out of my chair with its 220% awesomeness. After this banger of a chorus the beat calms down again only to after some time build up again to once more transition into this banger of a chorus. But wait there’s more! Proto_ssin makes you think the track is over but once more the piano picks up with a simple tune and slowly the beat return and brings us one more amazing chorus.
Vyprae – Never Forget You | Glitch-Hop
Today we’ve got a shipping song from the lovely Vyprae. This song starts out with an already amazing eat that slowly adds more stuff to make it feel like the masterpiece it is. It later adds a lovely drum loop and builds up to a drop honestly made in heaven, with sweet vocal chops and the beat taken over by it this makes you wanna jump up and down until you’re parents complain you woke them up. After that the first beat takes over again this time adding even more awesome stuff. Shortly thereafter we once more get this lovely drop with all the vocal chops. Without any exaggeration this is the best OMFG style track I’ve ever seen.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
Harmonic Six – Someday | Orchestral
Harmonic Six continues their string of crafting heartfelt orchestral tributes to beloved series characters with this beautiful tribute to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo! The song’s title and first half are reminiscent of the episode “Sleepless in Ponyville” where Scootaloo begins the episode hoping that “someday” Rainbow Dash will notice her and take her under her wing, which is evoked wonderfully through a soft, building orchestral arrangement. The song takes a dramatic turn midway through that echoes Scootaloo’s fall into a river and rescue by Rainbow Dash, who saves her from being swept over a waterfall. The song then returns to a more gentle theme, which seems very appropriate for two daredevils whose love of speed and adventure is ultimately secondary to their love for each other. Overall, the song has a wonderful cinematic feeling that successfully emulates the qualities of the movie scores that inspired it. The result is a really well-made, emotionally satisfying track that should not be missed!
