With how the EQG special & music video The Other Side is trending and making quite a sensation in the community, it’s no surprise that it’s inspiring pony musicians to answer the call, but it’s always such an unexpected delight! Elias Frost delivers in Swedish and Metal all the way, covering the original melodies in such a rocking way, and it’s such a bliss to experience, especially when we watched and loved the original! And Rarity!
Rock
StealingShad3z – Changes (feat. GhostXb) | Alternative Rock
Tasteful musical inspirations and meaningful reflections over S08E11 Molt Down are all over this new track from StealingShad3z, featuring the amazing GhostXb on vocals! An ode to the years passed and the fact that we are all growing older (and hopefully not colder!), this bittersweet Alt Rock tune is such a song of choice to come back to, when we come home cold and tired and warm our bones beside the fire…
Peshka – Potion Maker | Post-Rock / Grunge
For Nightmare Night, Peshka brewed a dark and haunting musical mixture from deep into the Everfree, just like Zecora would brew a potion! Music is much like alchemy, and this blend of atmosphere and melodies through guitars is certainly a very potent result!
Reverbrony – Sunburn (feat. FritzyBeat) | Alternative Rock
Here we have a melancholic piece from Reverbrony and FritzyBeat. Themed around Princess Luna; moments before giving into the darkness, you can feel the sadness in the composition as her innocence is cut away, slice by slice, beneath Celestia’s Sun and majesty. Three years in the making its a song well worth the wait!
LaRaikaa – She’s a Vampire (M-Type) (feat. EileMonty & Nowacking) | Metal
LaRaikaa (f.k.a. PsychGoth, BagpipeBrony) brings us all the way back to 2012 with a driving metal spin on his original synthy tune based on the fanfic My Roommate is a Vampire. Of course, the beautiful vocals from EileMonty and Nowacking bring even more flavor to the already very tasty djent-inspired instrumental. Whether LaRaikaa will return to do more horse tunes is unknown, but his return is lovely to see!
PrinceWhateverer & Frozen Night – This is Nightmare Night (feat. Friends) (This is Halloween Parody) | Metal
Well here is the perfect song to get into the Nightmare Night mood. PrinceWhateverer re-imagines the very familiar Nightmare Before Christmas hit to fit the pony holiday using his unique metal style, with the aid of his crew of friends. The many voices contribute amazingly with solo lines as well as haunting chorus parts (especially when they get to the la la-la-la crowd part). A perfect song for the end your October season, or just because you love a great song and parody – be sure to check out This is Nightmare Night!
Arabesque Sympony – Tricks up My Sleeve (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Funk Rock
It’s not just Nightmare Night, it’s also Trixie Day! And Arabesque Sympony made such a lovely cover of Trixie’s Tricks up My Sleeve from EQG2, in the spirit of the spooky night! Getting on stage to play along with Trixie, the pony musician not only covered the instrumental delightfully using the power of rock (including an amazing bass solo), but is also covering the song with his own vocals that are so cute and beautiful. Overall a very addictive cover that will make you want to sing along and raise your hooves, and cheer for Arabesque Sympony and Trixie!
Quicksilver – Vampire Girl | Hard Rock
As Nightmare Night draws near, it’s time to ROCK!! Quicksilver made such a high-energy and powerful theme for Flutterbat with much love, and you can just feel all that power as the mighty guitar riffs entrance you! It’s so easy to let yourself go and partake in the emotion from the music, in total freedom. Lead guitar, rythm guitar, bass guitar, and drums all create such a perfect harmony through the progression of this track, and it’s just pure bliss! Let us rock forever!!
Francis Vace – I’ll Show You My Loyalty (Covering PhonyBrony & Feather) | Ska
Covering classics will never get old, and Francis Vace already showed us his affection for such classics in the past with notably the album Souvenirs! One more leap in the past to bring forth a creative cover, this new take on PhonyBrony and Feather‘s famous track I’ll Show You My Loyalty is as lovely as it gets, with our beloved Ska musician acing his signature style once more and singing amazing vocals to melt the heart.
Peshka – Best Princess Song | Rock
A long-awaited release, Peshka’s tribute to his beloved Best Princess was sung with the heart and the lyrics are hot like the sun, if you know what I mean! The rock instrumental is such a bliss, and along the amazing vocals sung in French with much passion and inspiration, this Celestia song is such a lovely and catchy tune to come back to! One More!
