Forest Rain – Dashie’s Mom (Button’s Mom Parody) (feat. ZetaPony & Rosie Posie) | Alternative Rock

I’ve been wishing for this to happen ever since I fell in love with Dashie’s mom, and Forest Rain & Friends made it happen. It was truly only a matter of time until Pony1Kenobi’s classic got adapted to Windy Whistles’ charm and especially in light of her rocketing popularity among the community. Now it’s finally time to rock out to our new anthem definitely full of talent and awesome rocking vibes, as we passionately browse Derpibooru or other image boards in search of more Windy Whistles material and fine art.

Elias Frost – Forgotten North | Folk Metal

Definitely among the most powerful pieces from Elias Frost in my opinion, this new release has a quite interesting and deep concept, and delivers a top-notch musical interpretation over an amazing progression of many wonders. I’m especially a fan of the ice-y plucks and the guitar melodies during the solo, it’s quite emotional, and expertly done too!

SDreamExplorerS – Ghosts | Melodic Death Metal

I just love the theme and the lyrics of this song so much! Another pre-release from the upcoming album Erasing the Enigma, Ghosts tells the relatable tale of introspecting and moving on from your past while being treated as an outcast. Marvelously connecting to Trixie’s character depth and laying out a powerful story through the beautiful lyrics and powerful Metal vocals, the track delivers much emotion as instrumental, vocals and feelings are all connecting to create an amazing and emotional tribute to Trixie infused with deep meanings.

Brace yourselves for this everypony!! Mane In Green truly outdid himself with this one long progressive track infused with a story and delivering a variety of genres to create an epic musical Journey. It has many different instrumental parts reflecting perfectly each part of the story, with fitting instruments and rythm, and telling the story that’s written in the description so well. Over its breathtaking progression, the track will blow you away with epic melodies, guitar riffs, and fusions of genres all around, with Orchestral, Metal, Folk, and even Electronic all finding a share.

Arkineer – What’n Town Nation | Soundtrack

Arkineer, formerly known as Senjan, is back with a new OST piece he made for the fan game Adventure of the Lunarbolts, and this time it’s a remix of one of the BGM tracks from the show, Applejack’s Speech! Giving a wonderful new life to the amazing track by beloved composer William Anderson, the remix could be considered a spiritual successor to InfinityDash’s BGM remixes from 6 years ago, and doesn’t fail to pay tribute to the lovely melodies of the original, with an awesome new accompaniment and progression. Long live OST!
