Various Artists – King Mars – A Tribute | Album | Multi-Genre


3 months ago King Mars, a brony deeply connected with music and the fandom, sadly passed away from a heart attack. In the wake of this, Staccato Flame and Techoh set up a tribute album in his name, and 3 months later it’s finally ready. Gathering together a whole range of artists, this album of 24 tracks contains a whole variety of music.

This is actually the first of two albums from the King Mars tribute team. The second one is still open for submissions, so if you have a song you’d like to dedicate to King Mars, the information on that is on the MLR forums.

We’ll be posting tracks from this album as they’re released with a [KM] tag at the start of the title, like we did [P@D] for the Ponies at Dawn album.

The latest of these is a new instrumental progressive metal track from Slightly Amiss, a usually more acoustic and alt. rock-based musician, and Dr. Somepony, your friendly neighbourhood German metalhead.

Reverbrony -Sky of Colors (feat. BriLizyT) | Soft Rock

Originally written 5 years ago, Reverbrony thought it appropriate to record and release it recently, following the events in Orlando earlier this month. A real meaning behind the lyrics, and an adorable ship make this song both cute and powerful, and Lizy’s vocals speak the message so strongly.

StringStorm ‌- Luna’s Future (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Symphonic Metal

Undeniably a song that made much impact in S6, Luna’s Future ever continues to inspire, as the magic from its unique approach and union of talents is still powerful as ever. StringStorm aka Arkane provides here a much welcome Symphonic Metal rendition of it, sublimating Aloma Steele‘s vocals once again and paying much tribute to that fateful musical event from A Hearth’s Warming Tale. Also by the way, if you’re a pony musician and want to collab with Aloma, show her your love and interest! That would be a dream coming true!
