[P@D] Dragonal & Rockin’Brony – Transgressions (feat. PrinceWhateverer) / SDreamExplorerS – The Swarm (feat. Metal Core Pony & Kitchen Warrior) | Metal

First up in this little section of more hardcore rock is Dragonal and Rockin’ Brony’s metalcore piece featuring vocals from the one and only PrinceWhateverer! An epic re-telling of the season 5 finale and the battle between Twilight and Starlight, this sure takes me back to my days of teenage angst…so much gentle aggression…

Following up with an even heavier piece is Soul “Dream Explorer” Strings, with some help from Metal Core pony and Kitchen Warrior. Also inspired by the season 5 finale, albeit a different part of it to the previous track, this melodic death metal song focuses on the concept of Chrysalis and her army taking over Equestria. Metal is rather fitting for Cheeselegs if you ask me!

[P@D] Quicksilver – Breaking Point (feat. StealingShad3z) / Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Glimmer | Punk Rock / Alt. Rock

A collaboration between two of the best rock producers in the fandom music scene at the moment, Quicksilver and StealingShad3Z bring us an awesome punk rock track based on the episode The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. Quicksilver’s hard rock production skills and Shad3Z’s pop-punk style vocals go together so well here, it sounds so professional!

A more sombre song marks Plum Creek Rhythm Section’s place on this album. Stunning as always, their song takes a sort of alternative perspective from Twilight in the season 5 finale, reaching out to Starlight Glimmer. PCRS also put a second meaning into the lyrics, and I think it would only be right for me to share the message they put in the description:

“If you or someone you know is considering doing themselves serious harm, I encourage you to call the Suicide Hotline at the following number: 1 (800) 273-8255”

[P@D] – Aurelleah & Kadenza – Firelight (feat. PegasYs) / EM120X – Ocean Sunburst (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | House / Hands Up

Aurelleah and Kadenza light up the night with an incredibly polished party anthem for the bat ponies, with PegasYs’ vocals melding in beautifully to create one of the best house tracks I’ve heard from the fandom!

EM120X’s signature hands up/house style is fused here with the awesome guitar work of his friend DreamExplorer, and together they create a really pumping and enjoyable hands up track with some awesome rock elements, especially around 4:25, where it all comes together perfectly.

Ponysphere – Magic Parade | Prog Rock

Taking inspiration from gold bands of old, Ponysphere releases an excellent track of almost 10 minutes of rock greatness. Those who use to listen to 60s/70s/80s rock like me sure will appreciate those guitars and keyboard plays in Magic Parade which totally breathe the spirit of Classic Rock, and the track has different sections for each of the mane 6, too!

Ponies At Dawn – Awakening | Album | Multi-Genre


After weeks, no, months of anticipation, it’s finally here. The new Ponies At Dawn Album, Awakening, has finally been released. A compilation of 54 amazing tracks from just as many artists, this album brings together – in my opinion – one of the best selections of music the brony fandom has to offer. And the best thing is, you can download it for free, or pay whatever you want for it! Here’s to everyone involved for their hard work in putting this together!

♫ We’ll find awakening my friend ♪
♪ We’ll find salvation at the end ♫
♫ Of the world we’ll start again ♪

Mason al’Cat – Sounds of Chaos | Folk Rock

Mason al’Cat keeps bringing us more and more parody / ponified songs, this time with his take on Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence. But rather than warn of the evils of advertising, it recounts the events of the season 4 premiere.

Crusader! – Power Ponies GO! | Pop-Punk

The original version of this was posted back in January before we started the website, so when this music video appeared, I jumped at the chance to post it! The song is good old bit of pop punk accompanied by a fantastic PMV/animated typography video by Izeer. Go check it out for SUPERHEROES.

Cyril the Wolf, Tarby, SonyaLynn & Strumpet-chan – Queen Quake’s Song | Metal

BABSCon has got some EPIC musical themes for 2016, and this is one of them! The convention actually has a very interesting pony backstory that links with the real world (you can read about it here, it even has a comic!) and this is the character theme for Queen Quake. With mighty riffs and instrumental from Cyril the Wolf and Tarby, dark lyrics from both SonyaLynn and Tarby, and mighty vocals from Strumpet-chan, this delightfully villainous piece with a Nightwish-y fragrance has got everything!

Daniel Ingram – Unleash The Magic (Elias Frost Metal Cover)

One of the most epic songs from the third EQG movie, Unleash The Magic, has just been granted a new musical direction from master of Metal covers Elias Frost, and it is definitely a much welcome addition. Way to unleash the power of metal!
