Flawless definitely has impacted many of us and we’re pleased to get Sable Symphony’s own cover of the meaningful song from S07E14 Fame and Misfortune. With his signature rocking vocals and skillful guitar play, Sable gives the original an awesome Metal arrangement that pays tribute to the song once more!

Osoch – Stealer of Magic (feat. Ponysphere & Chris Wöhrer) | Djent / Progressive Metal
I like my Metal like my tea: black and with some Meshuga! And I love this wonderful collab. So take your black teas, add the meshuga and headbang to some kickass Metal!
God damnit, did you understand the joke? Because this really has some Meshugahh vibes, and that band is the creator of Djent. The guitar riffs, the harsh vocals, the drumming and the bass line; everything mixes so well together to astronomic levels of djentness! The guitar solo performed by Wöhrer was on point. Ponysphere’s vocals are my favorite part, because I love his harsh vocals, the way that he perform them is certainly amazing and awesome. Osoch’s vocals are awesome too, I loved the harsh vocals and Osoch’s instrumentation! I love every piece of this and I’m waiting from more vocal and original tracks coming from you Osoch! (Hope you get the joke)
It’s great to see Osoch back, after his writer’s block and final exams. He needed to contact this amazing collaborators and in waiting for their parts survived 2 goddamn earthquakes and power cuts in the space of 2 weeks! Give him some of the love he deserves for pushing through everything!
Rockin’Brony – Spectrum (Covering Re:Make) | Symphonic Metal
Part of an ongoing new series of covers of goldie-oldie pony songs from Re:Make (formerly AcousticBrony), this revival of Spectrum sure does justice to the original with an expert guitar play and Symphonic Metal arrangement. The melodies from the show songs “Winter Wrap Up” and “At The Gala” are as emotional as always, and give much S1 nostalgia!
Metajoker – Better Off (feat. GatoPaint) | Alternative Metal / Post-Grunge
With a emotional and nostalgic feeling, Metajoker with help of GatoPaint created Better Off! The new hot tune of the month! Really nice warm and ethereal vibes coming from the track, well we really are on Autumn!
The guitar riffs are really well performed along with the piano chords, Metajoker and GatoPaint did a really awesome job in this! The mix between the two along with awesome drumming, nice control of reverb and mixing, great production qualities, and an awesome vocal performed by the 2 artists singing really deep and emotional lyrics with a nostalgic and warm instrumental made this track a really nice Autumn song for headbang all night long or doing your morning walk! Both artists did an awesome job and reminded me of acts such Breaking Benjamin, Bush and Hurt! Metajoker is an awesome pianist and vocalist and GatoPaint is an awesome guitarist and vocalist! Keep up the awesome work!
Horse Music Hotspot – September 2017
We’re back again! This month’s episode features not only a very eclectic mix of new and older artists to the fandom, but an (in my opinion) exceptionally strong orchestral game.

Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Luck Rock – Orchard in the Sky | Soft Rock
Inspired by The Perfect Pear, Luck Rock sings an amazing ballad about Big Mac and Sugar Belle. With some outstanding acoustic guitar and strings backing up his amazing singing, one can really feel the love being shown in Luck Rock’s song. I especially love the choruses, the lyrics are just so beautiful that it’s chilling, and the backing vocals in the final chorus are superb. Well done Luck Rock!
Soul Strings ft. Chi-Chi – You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Soft Rock
Here’s another cover of Daniel Ingram’s “You’re in my Head like a Catchy Song!” This one throws a bit of a curveball with the interestingly sweet chord progression! The vocals are very well done; they’re clean, have good intonation, and they sound relaxed. The bass guitar complements the accompaniment of the acoustic guitar, to point out as well. Lastly, the post processing of this cover is quite satisfactory for the average listener to hear; it really enhances the instrumentation, especially with the reverb effect on the vocals!
[P@D] 4everfreebrony – Silhouette (feat. Black Gryph0n) | Pop Rock
Did someone say big collab time? Even though my tastes primarily lie in electronic and alt rock, this kind of guitar-based pop stuff is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I’m particularly loving the little legato synths that fill in some of the background of the song. And it represents a great blend of both 4everfree and Black Gryph0n’s ‘signature’ styles of music too!
This is another pre-release from the upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Anthology – we’ll bring more details soon but for keep your diary free next Friday (29th) for the release party!
Sable Symphony – Soar | Post-Hardcore
As a nostalgic nod to early community songs made toward the moving setting of Scootaloo’s character, Sable Symphony composed a much enjoyable tribute to the not-so-young anymore filly in his own style. Going for a heavy and fitting Post-Hardcore direction, the musician also graces the song with both soft and harsh vocals, bringing out the concept and the lyrics with much energy and beauty.
PrinceWhateverer – Yūgure no Kagayaki (feat. Sable Symphony) | Rock / Metal
Inspired by shonen anime OP/opening songs, the unstoppable PrinceWhateverer teamed up with Sable Symphony once more for a rocking collab. Imbued with a concept written in the description, the song definitely gives much energetic anime vibes, the kind of spirit that makes you confident that you’ll be able to save the world with your friends, through Prince’s vocals and instrumental as well as Sable’s backing vocals that all do wonders.
