Strigidae’s masterpiece, Butterfly Zyner, gets a much welcomed remaster in which we get to dive once more in unique and gorgeous vocals, mellow instrumental and tender backstory and lyrics, in a renewed experience of sound. Glim Glam is such a big cutie!
Original
DJRedSkY – Moving on | Deep House
In continuation from the last post which was about Luna’s Breaking Point as she became Nightmare Moon, this new Deep House track from DJRedSkY enacts in musical format her repentance and acceptance, Moving On. Perfectly reflecting the peace of mind conveyed by the gorgeous artwork by Viwrastupr used as the cover art, the track takes us for a blissful voyage among crystalline sounds and melodies.
Reverbrony – Breaking Point | Metal
In pure spirit of rock music, Reverbrony delivers a new honest Metal piece full of delightfully heavy riffs and expressions of lunar frustration, along lyrics brought to life by none other than himself on the vocals. Let’s cheer for an encore!
Chris Wöhrer -When You Are Supposed To Socialize But Turn Your Friends Into Mindless Zombies Instead | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 November 2016.
Well, that’s quite the track name! Insane track name length aside, this piece about Starlight Glimmer’s escapades is awesome in all the right ways. It’s got some pretty non-stop energy, and the guitar riffs are all pretty great. It’s also cool to be able to see Chris Wohrer playing live courtesy of the video, where he (intentially or not, I don’t know!) pulls all sorts of amusing faces along the way. If that sounds like fun to you, make sure to check it out below!
New Reverian – Night Of The Willow | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 November 2016.
New Reverian makes a combination of orchestral and electronic tracks, and whilst some of their electronic stuff has been quite popular this track shows their orchestral works can be just as good! Luna is a popular source of inspiration for pieces such as this, and the heavy night-like tone of the track certainly fits her well. The woodwind and foley sounds back up some strong drums, piano and strings wonderfully, and overall this is a pretty neat track!
The L-Train & Cyril The Wolf – Attitude & Altitude | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 6 November 2016.
The L-Train has started up a new project where he’s working with 6 different collaborators on 6 different genres to make songs about 6 different ponies, and this piece for Rainbow Dash with Cyril the Wolf is the first! Full of energy, cleanly mixed and featuring some pretty awesome metal vocals, this track definitely suits Rainbow Dash’s style, and it’s awesome to hear some new metal stuff from L-Train, who is definitely one of the best at it in the fandom. Make sure to check it out below!
FillyInTheBox – Sugar Meltdown | Electro
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 November 2016.
Filly in the Box has been on fire recently, and this trend continues with another heavy track dominated by powerful bass design. The Pinkie Pie vocal chops help to set the tone of the track before the distorted-feeling bass sounds come in to drive it forward with some great energy and compositional design. Definitely worth checking out if you like the heavy stuff!
Silver Note – Fabulousity (feat. Sterling Fusion) | Pop Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 6 November 2016.
Silver Note returns with a new track featuring some extra vocals from Sterling Fusion. Whilst this song isn’t especially long and some of the lyrics are a bit odd (‘makes me feel like an elephant??’), what is on show is a really well produced and fun pop rock track. The repetition of vocals in the chorus works really well, and it’s definitely pretty catchy.
Totalspark – Pillars | Trap
It’s nice to hear a refreshingly new take on trap. Rather than the standard minimal sounding drop, Totalspark’s gone for something with an Eastern melodic influence and big sounding leads. A very nicely done song, and good for Sparky for taking on various genres with his own style!
Luminn – Phantomhorse | Drum & Bass
There’s always room for a belated Nightmare Night track, and it seems ASoS picked this one as their signature NMN song. I hear a couple of Sytrus presets in there (*waves fist at the sound of Borealis*) but it’s still a pretty solid track. Vibrato leads make it extra spooky.
