From new compilation album Brony Forever, this tribute to BronyCon is carrying the musicians’ feelings, and it’s so wonderful how they came together for a musical tribute to BronyCon through that album as the last edition of the community’s biggest convention happened. Mellow vocals and bittersweet synths are completed by a requiem on the guitar with that solo, making for a very rich song!
Rock
Vivix – Princess of Intense Geekery | Alternative Rock
Let’s rock out in a garage filled with dusty amps and vintage guitars! That’s one of the things that Vivix’s delightful Alt Rock sound is evoking me! This new track and pony tribute is all about the princesses and the obsession of the latest one, or so we could imagine along listening to this!
Blackened Blue – The King Is Back (Covering Vylet Pony) | Metal
Remember The King Is Back from Vylet, the track with those incredible sassy vocals by Namii? Well time to get blown away all over again, by Blackened Blue this time who gives a whole new Metal spin to the track! With heavy riffs and fast drums, as well as several kind of vocals all very rocking, this cover is a real gem and Blackened Blue did so amazing!
Crusader – Only Me | Pop Rock
Crusader is back again with another vocal delight! Big Mac has always had a special place in our hearts in this fandom. Crusader’s voice just gives this song some extra flavor to such a sweet song. I say this because the lyrics tell Big Mac’s throughs and emotions pretty well from Brotherhood Social. Feeling like you can’t fill those shoes anymore for your little sister. When you know that Applejack has done so much more then you have. To have doubt that you don’t matter anymore. Crusader’s voice and acoustics tell that story in such an uplifting way. I’m glad someone made a song about this special moment. We all would like a big brother like Big Mac. His efforts, His hard work. His Love for his family. Doing crazy wacky shenanigans. All to show AppleBloom that he still can be there for her. Much like my buddy LuckRock. Crusaders songwriting is his greatest strength. It shows. Its a heartfelt catchy tune your be humming to yourself. As I always say. This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Mad Mars – BronyCon (Stacey’s Mom Parody) | Pop Rock
Mad Mars is back, and with an awesome tribute to BronyCon! So lovely seeing more pony musicians surface to gather once more as fans. This new community parody of Stacey’s Mom sure is doing wonders at bringing those uplifting and nostalgic vibes, and this rocking treat full of feelings is very appreciated!
[P@D] MEQA – Hydia | Rock / Dubstep
This fandom with their creativity just keeps on blowing my mind. This track by MEQA is a very rock meets techno flavor. It’s hard with a techno punch to it. Its starts out with this classic garage rock. Then the dubstep violently comes in with that sound and does not let up. In between, you got some cool symbol Melody and drum work. Before that hard electric Melody slaps you right the face. P@D is the home the musical diversity of this fandom for a reason. Decide for yourself as I always ask.
dBPony – Risk | Hard Rock
For this first time in four years. DBPONY come speeding back into the fandom’s music scene. Another first time listening for myself. The song itself comes with a very wise life message. It’s very easy to look at your life and feel that you’re stuck. Feeling complacent. Many in this fandom felt like that before we found something like wonderful brightly colored ponies. Feeling lost until this fandom made us feel found. The fast hard rock that pounds this track sends a message. “Got for it. Take a chance.” Because you never know until you try. I can honestly say taking a chance on this fandom has brought so much joy into many of our lives. A very nice return track from DBpony. As always, This Qilin asks you to judge for yourself for this song.
Narokath – Dead Wings of Grace | Album | Progressive Metal / Orchestral
An interesting concept album, coming from the swedish one-man-band Narokath. An album telling a double story between two worlds: an individual and personal point of view about life and feelings about it, where each listener is invited to do their own understandings of it and a story set in a darker world of Equestria.

Royal Canterlot Symphonic Metal Orchestra – Pillars Of Equestria Part One | Album | Symphonic Metal
Music making is a really tough gig. You need a lot of elements. Things like a creative mind for music. The passion and drive to make something come to life. You need to be full of imagination and huge ideas. With all the right things and some hard work, you get something like what L-Train has just made. OH MY CELESTIA PURE METAL GOODNESS!

PrinceWhateverer – L_ST-_N-D_TA (Destabilize pt.2) (feat. Vylet Pony) | Power Metal
A sequel to the wildly popular Destabilize, PrinceWhateverer and Vylet have teamed up to hammer out this heavy and emotional masterpiece! the intro alone sent chills up my spine with its glitchy, whine that is prevalent throughout the track as it morphs and evolves
