Sable Symphony will having you head banging to this jam of a cover! This track utilizes very well-produced guitars and the brilliant strings of the original soundtrack. In addition to a great percussion beat that’s easy to follow along with, Sable Symphony’s trademark vocal performance brings awesome harmonies to make an already fantastic song even more exciting!
Rock
The L-Train – Rainbow (covering Sia) | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 November 2017.
The L-Train has thrown his hat into the ring with a cover of Sia’s song from the movie, Rainbow. One of the most fully realised covers I’ve heard of the song so far, the juxtaposition between L-Train’s relatively soft clear vocals with an instrumental that gets pretty energetic works really well. and overall this is a pretty great effort.
Totalspark – Emergence VIP (ft. UndreamedPanic) | Drum & Bass
The original version of Emergence was a house(ish) track from nearly 3 years ago. Not only has Totalspark been constantly improving since then, but this VIP completely reworks the song into a full-on rock-infused (shoutout to Panic on guitar) DnB/Drumstep banger! I’m loving the chords too, I’m a sucker for all those [bIII], [bVI] and [bVII] chords. Great job Sparky!
Horse Music Hotspot – October 2017
Apologies for the delay on this month’s episode. But never fear, the songs are still fresh, and best served hot!
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 4PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month (when we’re on time)!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Crusader! – Let’s go to Ponyville! | Pop Punk
Crusader! is here with a fantastic pop punk anthem for the town of Ponyville. This song just seeps with the sound of those early 2000’s tunes you would find on MTV. All this song needs is a cheesy music video that contains copious amounts of skateboarding and frosted tips. Cheers to Crusader! for capturing that feeling and turning it into a song about our favorite town in Equestria!
Radial Rainbow – Razzle Dazzle | Folk Metal / Metalcore
Radial Rainbow! This cover is really brutal and headbanging. The flute is really well performed, I love how it replaces the vocals. Then the guitar riffs are also pretty amazing, I was stunned when I first listened to this and now I’m addicted to this cover! The breakdowns, a thing that is very common in Modern Metalcore, were really pretty awesome! This is full of awesomeness and the last part it’s the best part. With the flute and the piano, then the guitar riff comes and the chorus is played again with more awesomeness and then more breakdowns happened! This is really a treat for me, thank you Radial Rainbow for this amazing cover! Stay brutal!
Sable Symphony – [MLP The Movie SPOILERS] | Post-Hardcore
I think the movie’s just about out everywhere now…best to still give it some time though. Post is below as usual with these!
DivinumX – Where Her Demons Go, We Will Follow | Symphonic Black Metal
Heck Yeah! DivinumX is back with some really brutal kvlt music! Celebrating Nightmare Night, DivinumX delivers an headbanging and amazing 5-minute long Symphonic Black Metal track with a lot of amazing blast beats and orchestral arrangements, really cool guitar riffing and solos! Divinum’s shrieks and vocals were well performed, and the lyrics well written too. A really well composed and performed piece reminding me of acts such as Emperor and Dimmu Borgir! Listen to this track because it’s really amazing, and welcome back DivinumX!
BroniKoni – M. M. D. W. | Alternative Rock
This is my jam!! Pony band BroniKoni presents us the first track from their upcoming album “Friendship Express”, and it’s about the hero-in-the-night figure of Mare Do Well! Fitting to the theme so well with very thieves-y, blissful and catchy flute melodies, the track also features delightful aggressive guitar riffs and tasty drums play, as well as eloquent vocals and cool lyrics, making this track an all-time masterpiece and an almighty tribute to Mare Do Well! The awesome visuals are further contributing to blow us away with an utterly cool Mare Do Well with a flowing cape in the night, and well-executed searchlights, to give the perfect visual accompaniment to the song! Mad props to everypony involved!!
Daniel Ingram – Welcome to the Show (Brilliant Venture feat. Wubcake Remix) | Electro-Rock
An unexpected treat from Brilliant Venture, here’s the full version of Rainbow Rocks’ song Welcome to the Show, from an alternate universe where the Dazzlings’ wouldn’t get interrupted by the Rainbooms!! Featuring Wubcake as the incontestable singer for the job, the remix/cover progresses from the beloved sections of the original that we know covered expertly in a new way, to brand new parts expanding on the spirit of the original. It’s also fusioning rock with electronic music over an inspired progression, and it is all giving that song a whole new perspective, and displaying once again Brilliant Venture’s amazing vision.
