Luck Rock has combined awesome, riffy guitar goodness and the positive messages of the MLP G5 movie to create this fantastic, uplifting song! Opening with an awesome sounding classic power pop arrangement, the song becomes strataspherically fantastic when Luck Rock’s amazing vocals join in. The lyrics encapsulate the premise of the movie and the artist’s love for it so well, and the whole song is unbelievably full of goodness. The end got me right in the feels by drawing out the word friends and echoing a song that we all hold near and dear. We’re not worthy!

Koron Korak, SDreamExplorerS, & Romeo Nightinamare – Guardians of Canterlot (Parody of Amon Amarth) | Metal
What do you get when you get a metal-head fanatic, an expert collaborator, and the king of European metal bass? Answer: A group cover that was fated to happen. Stemming from Romeo Nightinamare’s desire to ponify Guardians of Asgaard by Amon Amarth, they teamed up with Koron Korak and Soul Strings to give us this powerful story of those who would guard Canterlot from Queen Chrysalis and her “cannon fodder’s army”. The expert guitars really pop out in front of subtly brilliant drums. Mix that with S-tier bass action and some deep, DEEP vocals and you’ve got a cinematic war song!
Luck Rock – Happy Horse Days (To Us All) | Acoustic
Well, quite the fitting song, seeing how the G5 movie is released in under a month and the fandom is still going strong! As the title implies this song is about all of the happy horse days we have had and all the ones to come, especially when G5 begins!
Proofread by theCANderson; big thanks to him!
Derek Spear – This Day Aria (Covering Daniel Ingram) (feat. MIKITANII) | Symphonic Metal
Man, it’s been a hot minute since something covered this song! Brand new to the brony music community, mind you! But, I must be honest, you can not tell that Derek is new at all. Not when You have the mood changing as it does in the transitions between Cadance and Queen Chrysalis! A classic note for note composition of pure pony orchestra for Cadance switches to this brutal, epic metal, and nasty mood for Chrissy! It brings so much the perspective of this song, And I would not be remiss if I did not say that the singing vocals of MIKITANII brings the emotional face-first and on point for both Cadance and Chrysalis with their voice! Just WOW. Listen to this track and a new spin on a classic! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Pipetka – Calamity Theme | Country Rock
Fans of Fallout Equestria. I really should get a kick out of this one! The gun-slinging Mr fix it pony pegasus gets a very character-driven theme that if you never read anything Fallout: Equestria wise raises hoove, you get an idea of the character itself. You listen along to a very sly and hard acoustic guitar that sets the tone for Calamity coming into taking care of business. Then you get a feeling how much an outlaw and formidable guy Calamity is when you get this bass and drum combo with the taste of Harmonical and Tambourine for that “business is about to pick up the flavor.” Calamity character has had it rough by reading the backstory, and this theme sure gives you that impression. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[ASOS] Acouste Wholenote – Time Will Tell | Pop Punk
A lively and refreshing song about the CMCs, Acouste’s contribution to ASOS Biscuit is a very welcome fan take at the adventures of the group, which may also include Gabby and Babs as suggested by the cover art! Let the rocking Pop Punk ode depict the scene and act as a new anthem for the friends!
Deavas – I’ll Fly (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Rock
Deavas strikes again with a new heartfelt pony cover, this time paying tribute to both the emotional show song I’ll Fly and a dear friend. Relationships with a pet can be quite powerful, illustrated by both this meaningful cover and the episode the song is from! Let’s rock it all out with the sound of the guitars, to the faithful departed!
