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!
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!
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.
[P@D] SDreamExplorerS -Trust Me (ft. Francis Vace) | Metal
Another P@D banger, this time a collab between two awesome guitarists and long-serving fandom musicians, SDreamExplorerS and Francis Vace. This song about the episode Spice Up Your Life starts off in an almost electro-rock way, but soon delves straight into SDES’ metal with Francis’ vocals bellowing over the top, including refrains taken from It’s Gonna Work, the song from the aforementioned episode.
[P@D] Velvet Wings & SDreamExplorerS – Little Feather | Metal
This song marks Velvet Wings’ debut in the fandom music scene, and to have one’s first song featured on a Ponies At Dawn album too is impressive! And her vocals compliment Soul Strings’ instrumental very nicely.
Lightning Collector & Melody Sky – Who I Am | Soft Rock
A lovely collaboration full of honesty, this mellow yet rocking track born from the union of the talents of Lightning Collector and Melody Sky delights with a tender rock part that feels so genuine and blissful, then some electric guitars come in to bring some more awesome along both rap and rock vocals. A much orginal and enjoyable song, and we certainly hope to hear more from such a successful duo! From Lightning Collector, I also recommend Rainbow Trash and Metal Slave and its music video full of cool rock performance… with ponies!
Thrasher – Orbit (Vylet Vocal Edit) | Metalcore
Thrasher amazed us with their P@D Voyager contribution Orbit, and the track sure didn’t go unnoticed for musical talent Vylet Pony who we don’t present anymore, who got inspired by Muse vibes from the original banger and decided to sublimate it with the incredible vocals he’s known for. This Vocal Edit will be included in the upcoming and much awaited Orbit EP from Thrasher! Be sure to sub to Thrasher to stay informed and to show your support.
Sights Unseen – The Spark (feat. Cadie) | Alternate Electronic
A new collab and duet from the ever-so-successful duo of Sights Unseen and Cadie, this Twilight-centered track gives all the Synth-Rock vibes while providing an unique progression and storytelling, filled with gorgeous vocal parts from both singers. The distant/faded aspect of the vocals definitely reflects well Twilight’s internal struggle and suppressed call as depicted by the lyrics.
PrinceWhateverer – The Fight Inside (ft. NRGpony) | Metal
Another song from his new album Reinvent, and another remake of an older classic, now featuring screams from NRGpony. I suppose it’s only appropriate that a song about Luna and her inner demons was released just before Nightmare Night. Go take a listen if you’re still in the mood for dark themes.
