Seventh Element makes some cool tunes, but where he really excels is in the creation of concept albums such as this. With a combination of spooky ambient soundscapes and driving indie rock beats, this album definitely helps to visualise the desolate landscapes of Fallout Equestria. Check it out below for half an hour of hope and despair!
Editor’s note: Hooray, his channel is back, we can post this now!
Rockin’Brony delivers an amazing cover of one of my favorite songs from the movie! And the genre/concept for the recreation of the songs was pretty well chosen. Symphonic Metal is a really complex genre and a amazing experience listening to!
Rockin’s vocals are really amazing, the way that he delivers emotion and dedication to the vocals it’s clearly awesome, the symphonic elements of the cover are really well performed as well as the drums. All the song parts are really well performed, including the symphonic solo and the awesome guitar solo, one of the principal characteristics of Rockin’s tracks, amazing and headbanging guitar solos!
Amazing cover you done here, keep up the good work my friend!
Remember how terrifying and intimidating Tirek got to be? D1SCORDANT definitely does! This track really brings to life the kind of world where Tirek is in charge. The heavy riffs combined with hard snare hits at just the right time create an atmosphere of total destruction. Add in an eerie synth looming over the piece and you’ve got an industrial metal hit!

Russian-based band Przewalski’s Ponies have another new collaborative work out, and it’s pretty epic! A pop-y rock track that features some epic guitar solo work and some solid vocals throughout, it’s a fun piece for sure. Songs about Luna are always great to see, and this is definitely one of the cooler ones in recent times.
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!

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.
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!
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! 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! 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!
