(Listen to Ken’s suggestive original if you have not done so Here)
(Ok disclaimer: This song is not for everyone, there are VERY suggestive adult themes clearly talked about in this song or done. fair warning)
I don’t have to be a brony to even understand the topic of this very hot and sweaty tune. But if you going to be talking about ponies when comes to this song. Then I guess this honesty describes what Shining Armor felt like when he first saw Cadance in high school. The cute mare that has picked up on the fact your into her. SO it’s your lucky day because she is into you as well. My Cadance is not so proper when she gets away from Canterlot castle LOL. Prince, however, has put this naughty cover into his own style of rock and roll. The way he sings this song kinda reminds of all people, Marilyn Manson. In the style if delivering the lyrics. It adds to the spice if this song. The guitars are sexy and hard to fit the theme of the song, The melodies mimic the original nicely with extra hard rock flavor to the zest of this lewd track. So if it’s your kind of music. Check it out. This Qilin will not judge you for it.

Elias Frost – One Last Story | Symphonic Rock
Another song from Elias’ upcoming Stories Vol. III album, Our Last Story is an instrumental number inspired by events in S9, where Twilight has one last story to tell before taking over the princesses’ role as ruler of Equestria. Much like most of his material, it’s a slow burner, though the climax is always satisfying; there’s a myriad of orchestral elements, including an accordion and a choir, but towards the end, it builds up gradually with a drum kit and eventually an electric guitar. Their addition to the track feels completely natural and feels like a great breath of fresh air. Can’t wait for the album!
SlightlyAmiss – Cloning Ritual (feat. Djohn Mema & Blackened Blue) | Metal
With blissful riffs sending you to cloud nine, and both harsh and harmony vocals to tell the story in very charismatic ways, this new collab from the rock wonderponies is definitely an amazing surprise to appreciate over and over again. Themed around an epic and deep battle of convictions between Starlight and Queen Chrysalis, it delivers the intensity of the fight so brilliantly in this genre, and SlightlyAmiss, Djohn Mema and Blackened Blue definitely did wonders together! One More!
Acouste Wholenote – When The Party’s Over | Acoustic Rock
If there’s one good thing I can say about post-con-depression, it’s that it can be a good outlet, as our old pal Acouste Wholenote has demonstrated. Though he never got the chance to go to BronyCon, he still felt the need to give it a proper sendoff with this stripped-down acoustic number. With only his powerful voice and an acoustic guitar, he strums his way through flawlessly and sings with passion, closing off with an electric solo and a fade-out. As sad as it is to see BronyCon go, let’s never forget the good times we’ve all had together.
StableTwoStallion – GalaCon Theme (Covering MusicByOctavia) | Industrial Metal
Any fans of Rammstein should be very pleased with this one! The very talented StableTwoStallion has graced us with a very hard hitting and hauntingly beautiful cover of the talented MusicByOctavia’s theme composed for Galacon, which the convention still uses today. This cover has all the aspects people love about industrial metal from the 2000s: hard hitting bass drums, a liberal helping of synthesizers throughout, choirs, and guitar riffs you can’t help but bang your head to, so don’t miss out on this gem!
Frozen Night – Crescentiform (feat. Velvet R. Wings) | Orchestral / Symphonic Metal
Epic battle theme time? I think it’s epic battle theme time.
Just imagine, you’re just a Kirin, walking a lonesome path along the outer boundaries of the forest surrounding your village in the dwindling twilight. Suddenly, you are attacked by some strange creatures as they come at you from the forest, blasting you with magic bursts. You leap to evade their attacks and fires back, blinding them with your own magic. The battle won’t end until either you fall in battle, or when you’ve defeated them all in defense of your village.
This track gives me a very “Child of Light”-ish vibe, in a good way, of course. The soft but intense orchestral instruments blends with the strong electric guitar riffs to become one amazing treat for the listener with an adventurous ear. Kudos for Frozen Night and Velvet R. Wings for delivering this amazing track!
DivinumX – Love Me Cheerilee (Covering WoodenToaster & The Living Tombstone) | Metal
Quite possibly my favorite metal musician in the fandom, DivinumX, has come through with a rockin’ cover of a vintage brony song and, when you’ve been in the fandom as long as I have, it’s always a treat to hear new spins on the classics. This cover of the original Glaze and Tombstone collab features a rock-solid metal rendition of the tune, with a rippin’ solo to boot, so any fans of the original (or any metal lover) should be more than pleased!
PrinceWhateverer & Sable Symphony – Holy Fire (feat. Blackened Blue) | Metalcore
Fresh off his album Reimagine, Comes a song that we’ve been waiting for. Let me tell you something, my fellow bronies. THIS is how you do a song about Daybreaker! Prince, with help from the wonderful Sable Symphony. Presents the internal fight Princess Celestia has with her other side Daybreaker! OH my, the RAGE in this song. PrinceWhateverer focuses on the theme of Celestia trying to keep it together. Telling herself that she a good pony. That she refuses to use her true power and magic for her own desires. BUT she can’t get away from this presence she feels within. Then comes in Daybreaker screaming at Celestia that she knows the truth. That it’s only a matter of time before others see past her smiling face, that she Daybreaker will come out and burn Equestria to the ground. This is how you present Daybreaker, as a raging inferno inside the princess of the sun. The lyrics, The guitars, the melodies. The amazing voice of PrinceWhateverer’s harmonizing of Celestia’s side with the brutal screaming rage of Daybreaker’s side. The back and forth is perfect for a song like this. Its reminds me of songs done by the likes of bands like Killswitch Engaged. A fellow colleague of HMH Blackened Blue lends a hand in the final screaming rage of Daybreaker and the song ends on a sweet and soft Electronica melody reminding Celestia that Daybreaker will never go away. This is Daybreaker done right with METAL! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Djohn Mema & Sable Symphony – ACD (Blame it) | Metal
Wow, this song really hits those feels, combining a catchy instrumental and melody with emotional lyrics that hit a little too close to home. The loud and punchy, smashing drums and heavy guitars combine to make a rocking, emotional, and catchy track – so make sure you get your ice cream ready cause this song will definitely hit those feels! Check it out!
D1SCORDANT – Tartarus | Industrial Metal
D1SCORDANT is on a roll with these instrumentals. This time, we’ve got an industrial piece that seems to take influence from industrial/nu metal from the late 90s and early 2000s. With dark sounding synths and crunchy downtuned guitars reminiscent of Korn, D1SCORDANT captures the mood of being in Tartarus – or possibly leading it – with flying colours. If you love your metal heavy, then you’ll love this too.
