After a year in the making, metal vocalist, guitarist, bassist, and drummer- Stallionslaughter- releases an eight track album brandishing some of the heaviest music to be produced by the fandom. From groove metal to deathcore, there is a broad array of stylistic influences showcased across the album which features tracks grounded in morbid themes of destruction and equestricide. Catch the track-by-track write up after the break! Continue reading

[P@D] Francis Vace – Spell (feat. Itchigotchi) | Pop-Punk
Time for something a little more pop-oriented than usual from Francis Vace. It’s a upbeat little duo with the wonderful Itchigotchi with a deceptively sad message about Twilight’s nerdy solitude. Go check it out for happy/sad feels!
Celestial Throne – Battle Against Time (ft. BriLizy T and Ponysphere) | Progressive Metal
Are you ready for something big? Celestial Throne just released an epic 13-minute progressive metal song with the help of BriLizy T and Ponysphere! Inspired by the season 5 finale. The song is split into several main acts, 4 according to the way the lyrics are displayed in the description, each section telling a different part of the story and having a slightly altered composition. Sit back, put on your headphones, and take a good listen to this!
GhostXb – Zapp! | Symphonic Metal
Always good to see more Powerpuff Ponies music, and even better to see more metal from GhostXb! If you’re used to Ghost’s orchestral music, imagine that, but accompanying guitars, bass and drums too. In other words epic + epic = this. What more could you ask for?
WoodLore – Flowers | Soft Rock
It’s great to see WoodLore giving us new music on somewhat of a regular basis again. Take a seat and listen to this acoustic-driven rock track that makes great use of synth sounds in the chorus. I just can’t get enough of this song!
StealingShad3Z – Oh Now You Care | Alt. Rock
Shad3Z just keeps on going and keeps on going with new music. This song lies in the realm of hypothetical Spike x Ember shipping; Shad3z sings this from Spike’s point of view, having moved on from Rarity to someone better. Go listen for emo rock and sad lyrics.
[P@D] Thrasher & Night Crow – Beneath Clouds / Foozogz & Sights Unseen – Out Of The Forest | Hardcore
Combining hardcore, trance, metal, and dubstep all into one song, Thrasher and Night Crow bring us the epic Beneath Clouds. If you’re familiar with Celldweller, imagine that but by pony musicians and you’ve got this song here (more or less ;D). I hope to hear more music like this from these two in the future!
In a collab that I didn’t see coming, but makes total sense, Foozogz and Sights Unseen bring us a dark changeling-themed song. Fooz brings out the lesser-known darker side to his production and Sights adds his haunting vocals to make this industrial hardcore piece complete.
[P@D] Luna Ticks – Complication | Punk Rock
A song for Berry Punch: DRINK! Francis Vace and Quicksilver join forces once again for another awesome Luna Ticks song. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – they’re one of my favourite brony collab projects ever, and I envy everyone who will get to see them perform at ROTLCon this November! Anyway, check out this song for some awesome high-speed punk rock!
Silver Note – Unicorns and Soundwaves | Album | Rock / Electronic
Compiling nearly 2 years’ worth of his brony music, Silver Note has just released his first ever album. After the break I’ll take a look at each track and give you a full rundown of it, going from his oldest songs to his newest!
[P@D] Replacer – Some Dumb Ideas | Jazz Fusion
Replacer has brought us another track that I can only describe as…”a Replacer track”. Seriously, his stuff is always really unique and different from anything else on the Ponies At Dawn albums, and they’re always outstanding (and I hope that genre tag is somewhat accurate)! There seems to be a nice little reference to his previous song In Defence of Madness in there too. See if you can spot it! 😉
