StableTwoStallion is on a roll with this series of Neue Deutsche Härte-inspired ponifications, and this new installment is about the “Industrial” pony, Tempest Shadow! Maybe it’s her colors, I don’t know. And the musician went all-out again, not only crafting such a stunning song, but complementing it with hoof-made SFM artworks, appearing in the video!
Original
Tw3Lv3 – Starlight’s Dream | Lo-fi
Tw3Lv3’s latest piece is of pure beauty, reminding of other beat-driven atmospheric chill pieces such as Hay Tea’s. What’s more, it’s sampling that certain scene with Luna appearing in Starlight’s Dream, and it’s so perfectly integrated into the mix, making for a new experience of the scene, empowered by the music! Also check out Tw3Lv3’s other recent piece, Long Live The King!
Washout – Road To You | Pop
Among the awesome surprises of the month, Washout’s tribute to Starlight and Trixie is so cute that it’s making me melt. Those tender and passionate vocals are to die for, the lovely lyrics were written with love and you can feel it, and the electronic instrumental is quite impressive! This is what it means to start with a bang in the pony music scene!!
Djohn Mema & SlightlyAmiss – Not Ready For The End | Rock
Sharing nostalgia and brony feelings, Djohn Mema’s collab with SlightlyAmiss is very reflective of what makes us special as a community, and you can just feel all the genuine love that has been poured into this track and its message. It feels like a warm hug to all the musicians mentioned, and all those lovely thoughts get marvelously expressed here with the upbeat guitar melodies and the emotional vocals. A masterpiece of emotion and music!
Toby Macarony – Forever | Emotional Pony Vocal Chops
A masterpiece of emotion and creativity, this brony anthem and tribute to the many songs from the show by Toby sure is momentous and I appreciate it so much. It feels like a spiritual successor to Exiark’s The Essence of Being a Pony and Second Hoof Medley, and by listening to all those voices from the characters we love in this song, presented and chopped in such an amazing way, we get a reminder of all that we feel for them and the community, and that makes for such an incredible experience!
strigidae – Louder, louder! | Indie Dance
New song by Strigidae, new incredible expression of pony love and depth! I highly recommend reading the description on YouTube, and all the thoughts that Strigidae had about Twilight! Singing about her anxiety with much resulting intensity, the talented musician definitely paid much tribute to our beloved purple princess, and all the creativity in both the instrumental and the vocals is really an amazing experience to behold!
Zephysonas – Transient | Piano Ballad
Zephysonas is a savant when it comes to doing a lot with a little! After coming across the picture used for the cover art to this piece, Zephysonas became inspired and orchestrated the Transient composition. Very calm and lasting only a short time¹, the piece benefits from simple two note chords and little sections of three note walking melodies, giving off a nice characteristic vibe to the cover art!
¹This is the definition of Transient
[Equinity] Skelter – Dawn | Hybrid Orchestral
Equinity 01: Stellar is turning out to surprise me with each track I listen too. Skelter composes something that brings out a feeling in me that inspires me. It reminds you of something about the series MLP:FiM that I love. Especially when I think about characters like Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, even Princess Celestia. It’s this feeling inside of me or every single brony to never quit. Skelter does a great job with the continuous build of emotion and passion in these courageous melodies that communicate that. The mane 6 have gone on so many adventures, seen so much of their world and inspired so many of us. Giving us a new life when we found this show. I picture a lot us fans listening to this as we about to head off to a pony convention. The cords are what make this piece so uplifting and powerful. This fandom lives on music such as this. This was a fine use of the orchestra genre to honor that about this show. Does this Dragon Pony wonder if you’ll feel the same about Skelter’s music as well? You judge for yourself as always.
Blackened Blue – Who Am I? | Alternative Metal
For the first time, the outrageously talented Blackened Blue shows off his singing chops and crafts a kick-flank metal song about Yona’s struggles with identity and belonging. Blackened Blue’s guitar tone, drums, clean vocals, mixing, and, of course, screams are all on-point here, and this may be his catchiest song yet. I quite enjoy the bridge section’s vocal effects and guitar tones especially! Fans of metal music from the 2000s will be extremely pleased with this one.
Radiarc – The Familiar | Hybrid Orchestral
Radiarc never fails to deliver not only creative music that sets itself apart, but also an experience that immerses you into his world. Going by Radiarc’s description, the song not only deals with a ghostly presence that lingers around but is a manifestation of his struggles in his personal life. To create such a unique hybrid piece and to convey those struggles in the music is always something I’ve lauded Radiarc for, and The Familiar might be up there with Aleph Null as one of my favorites from him.
