PrinceWhateverer graces us with another release from the Reinvent album, less heavy this time, but still powerful and meaningful with a beloved and relatable theme, uplifting riffs and drums, top-notch lead guitar play, and beautiful vocals. Are We There Yet?

GhostXb – Triumph at Last | Chiptune Rock
Cute song is cute. As stated in the video’s description, this is the very first song Ghost made as a ‘brony musician’. I’m impressed by his wide scope of his production, given that it ranges and changes from orchestral, to metal, and now seemingly some electronic-influenced stuff too! Definitely not a one trick pony (hahaha so original).
Horse Music Hotspot – September 2016
If you missed it live last night, the latest episode of the Horse Music Hotspot is up on YouTube, SoundCloud, and our podcast feed.
September saw a great mix of different genres, and a couple of album releases from individual artists. Here’s our selection of the best of the month.
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 10PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break:
Reverbrony – Energized (feat. Vinyl Darkscratch) | Groove Metal
A song with a title that perfectly reflects its musical mood, Reverbrony’s newest release is a collaboration with underground pony musician Vinyl Darkscratch (who also founded Nightwave Studios which is behind the dark comic Adapting To Night) and is definitely a much welcomed piece. Despite the collab not lasting for the entirety of the track, Energized represents a fusion of intriguing darkness with high-energy speed and force, reflecting the contributions of the two musicians, and enthralls until the end along powerful riffs and solos, Reverbrony style!
GhostXb – Sunset Winner! | Rock
Sunset Shimmer also plays guitar! Paying a mighty tribute to the multi-talented character introduced in EQG, the equally multi-talented and awesome GhostXb presents Sunset Winner, an electrifying instrumental Rock track shimmering with beauty, force and passion as impressive guitar play and heavy drum accompaniment unfold. Sunset For The Win!
PrinceWhateverer – Spectacular (The Spectacle Extended Cover) | Metal
In case you missed the long-awaited release, here’s your chance to partake in the joy of rediscovering the dazzling song The Spectacle in pure PrinceWhateverer metal format, now extended with brand new instrumental parts and lyrics fitting the spirit of the original song! Paying even more tribute to the undeniable value of Rara’s performance under the Countess Coloratura alias, Spectacular impresses once again and the intense typography of the video only adds to the epicness of the music unfolding.
Segments Of Life – The Empty Hourglass | Metalcore / Electronic
Segments Of Life seems to be going through a phase of parodying Trap Nation records in their videos, so have this latest ‘Equestria Nation Records’ release – a complete melange of genres including djent, trap and drum & bass…because if you can make it work, why not?
Frozen Night – Lunar Eclipse II | Symphonic Metal
Frozen Night has remade one of their older songs to give it a fresh feel with better production and newer orchestral instruments. Lunar Eclipse II starts off with a hauntingly lonely solo piano, and layer upon layer of choir sounds, strings, and drums are brought in one by one to turn it from orchestral lament into a guitar-led piece.
Top Ten Pony Songs of August 2016 released!

Reverbrony – Blood and Fury | Metal
Whoooooaaaaakay, this song doesn’t waste time building up or anything, it just gets straight into the heavy stuff. Kickstart your Sunday morning with this 6-minute heavy metal instrumental.
