[P@D] John Kenza & 4EverfreeBrony – Warm | Future Bass / Pop Rock
There are times when you listen to track, and it leaves you speechless and your emotions are doing all of the talking. Warm is one of those songs, rare songs that comes out in this fandom and it is the epitome of musical perfection. It’s unique in the matter of how John’s EDM harmonizes with absolute amazement with the Pop-Rock and lyrics of 4EverfreeBrony. It’s beautiful and well composed with the energy of John’s harmonies and that gorgeous guitar work of 4EB! The song is crafted with such a wholesome message that everything blends and flows. Sprinkling with a little disney-esque orchestra harmonies and you have a song that will bring you to tears. One of the most breathtaking tracks I have heard in the Brony fandom! And it’s only track 2 of P@D Ignite. As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[P@D] L-Train – Philomena | Progressive Metal
Wow!..what a powerhouse of a track, I’ve disided open up for my part in the coverage of P@D ignite! Rocking track 56 of this compilation. The Rock maestro himself L-Train brings you some old good ol’ fashion progressive metal! About the cycle of the Phoenix told in the through the eyes of Celestia’s phoenix Philomena. Absolutely methodical in the guitars and composure. Boy and those vocals by T-train even some RAGE from the man! The songs melodies and how old school brutal it gets. those guitars and that amazing trademark Solo’s of his. You got to check this out! If you love the art of Metal! As always this Qilin asked you to judge for yourself.
Lunar Drift – Chaos & Harmony | Progressive Rock
The #1 bringer of Prog Rock in the community, Lunar Drift provided anew with a 7-minutes progressive beauty, full of nods to previous tracks but also of new ideas. Let the distinct sound of the Rickenbacker 4003S bass guide you in this new musical world themed around Discord!
[P@D] Jyc Row & PrinceWhateverer – Together, Against the Sisters | Symphonic Metal
This might be one of the best orchestral metal songs the fandom may ever see. Track 6 on the freshly-released Ponies at Dawn: Ignite is Together, Against the Sisters, a collaboration between Jyc Row and PrinceWhateverer along with Spanish singer Celica Soldream, and the result is insane. Lyrically, the song paints a picture of a battle between an army and the evils that lurk Equestria through Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon. PW and Celica’s harmonies go very well together, perfectly complimenting the optimistic melodies brought by the heavy guitars and brooding strings. That solo, though!
Koron Korak – Face Your Fate (feat. Twilight Sparkle) | Synth Rock
Koron Korak’s back with a brand new song based around the season 4 finale. Face Your Fate takes its inspiration from synthwave tracks while adding distorted guitars to give it some edge. The occasional audio sample from the episode can be heard as a decent callback to the episode that inspired it. Glad to hear how amazing this turned out after a year in the making!
StableTwoStallion – Fallout Equestria | Industrial Gothic Metal
Woah. Brace yourself! This FoE-inspired thrash track is heavy and hits hard! STS has been pumping out industrial tracks for years and is no stranger to going heavy with the powerful distorted guitars, thumpin’ drums, and eerie vocal chants in the background. StableTwoStallion explains that Fallout Equestria is “inspired by Rammstein and Oomph” and lead vocals reflect that comparison in every good way! As an added bonus – this song is entirely in German which personally just makes it all the more epic!
Luna Ticks – Gamer Girl [Horses IRL #7] | Ska Punk
The power team of Francis Vace and Quicksilver are back at it again with a great punk track all about Equestria’s best gamer princess. The Luna Ticks are known for making the highest quality ska punk music in the fandom and Gamer Girl mixes in a great blend of ska sections with straight pop punk and even a slower interlude. The changing styles allows a great emotional transition from the energetic gaming, to the playful personality, to the sentimental, titular character. The video editing is excellent, allowing the personalities of both members to shine through. Do yourself a favor and check out these guys immediately.
Studio Quinn – Second Place, A Trixie Song (feat. Sea Cream) | Pop Rock
Studio Quinn (previously known as M2the3rd) keeps delivering heartfelt songs, this one being about Trixie and those who don’t always come out on top. The lyrics are from a poem by Sea Cream and the instrumental Studio Quinn created for them could not be more fitting. The sweet piano playing impresses strong emotions and is later joined by drums and strings in the second chorus. A guitar even makes an appearance in the last quarter of the song. Carried by the delicate singing are the same feelings of being overshadowed by peers.
MelodyBrony – Moonlight | Acoustic Rock
This track portrays Season 7, 8, and 9’s love story arc of Big Mac and Sugar Belle, with uplifting music that really fits with the theme, including acoustic guitar, incredible lyrics and vocals, and a drum beat that both reflect the whole feel of the story, and that can get stuck in your head! Seriously, this song could easily pass for an actual show song!
