Here is another token that Reverbrony is talented at making music of various very different genres, and this new Ambient track is definitely amazing. Soothing guitars are lulling the listener into a deep state that is perfect for meditation, or just for chillaxing. Just like what the visuals are depicting, it feels like a blissful moment in the solitary comfort of the deep sea.

Mane In Green – Dawn of an Epic Quest | Soundtrack
Everypony brace yourselves for Mane In Green’s highly awaited brand new musical series of progressive music! Much OST-like and definitely fitting very well as BGM tracks for every part of the story explained in the description with timestamps, this story-driven piece of almost 10 minutes tells the start of a new adventure for the mane 6, and displays beautiful and themed Orchestral compositions with extra (awesome) guitars even providing a much welcomed (and once again, fitting) twist for Discord’s Theme. I am certainly much delighted with Mane In Green’s works and inspirations, and I think that tracks like these are very fine examples of the creativity and passion that this community is showing.
Francis Vace – Legend You Were Meant To Be (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Rock
Off the Everfree EP, Francis Vace’s cover of the closing song from Legend of Everfree pays much tribute to the Rainbooms’ live performance of the song, in the unique musical style that we love to hear from the talented Ska-Punk musician. Not lacking of enjoyable Ska vibes in some of the vocal parts, the cover also lays out powerful guitar play as we rediscover the Rainbooms’ latest record in newfound rock spirit.
The L-Train – Orchard Of Truth (feat. Stallionslaughter) | Progressive Death Metal
Applejack and the Flim Flam brothers face off in this progressive death metal track by The L-Train and “the connoisseur of cringe himself”. Stallionslaughter delivers his trademark death metal growls and his equally impressive clean vocals during a nice respite in the middle. An unsurprisingly solid production by The L-Train with a guitar solo I could play on repeat. A must for any fan of the brony metal scene, give it a listen!
Segments Of Life – Journey | Trancecore
My favorite track from Segments Of Life’s latest album Everything In Slow Motion, Journey not only manages to display the unique musical style and amazing genre fusioning that the musician is know for, but for me it also creates powerful emotions and especially during the part starting at 2:02. There’s just something in those melodies and sounds that is… something else. I highly recommend the rest of the album as well, literally every track is a gem! Always an amazing moment when Segments Of Life releases a new album.
Reverbrony – When Monsters Dance | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 26 March 2017.
Reverbrony’s series of super heavy metal instrumental tracks continues with this powerful Chrysalis-focused piece. Aggressive guitars, pounding drums, it has everything one would expect from this style that Reverb has made his own recently. The artwork fits the piece perfectly, and there are some pretty awesome guitar melodies that pop up throughout the piece.
Francis Vace – Cold Feet Pt. II | Ska Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 25 March 2017.
Francis Vace has been uncharacteristically quiet recently, but that’s because he has a new album coming out very soon, called The Old Mare And The Sea! This is the first release from the album, and is a follow up of sorts to a track he wrote some time ago called Cold Feet. His voice shines here, with some great vocal melodies especially in the chorus, which is super catchy. There’s also some classic ska horns as well for those who dig that stuff as much as I do.
Horse Music Hotspot – March 2017
Another great mix of both electonic, rock, and a great deal of acoustic stuff this month. Although we weren’t able to get the show out live due to technical difficulties, we hope you enjoy this upload after the fact.
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 5PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Stallionslaughter – Vengeance of Tirek (Redux) | Metal
Tirek is out for vengence in this remake of Stallionslaughter’s first release. With some heavily distorted guitar riffs and low growls, we get some surprisingly clean delivery, with some well written, and executed lyrics. This dumbass knows not to cup the mic! I also appreciate the added effort into the lyric video, with some entertaining lip-syncing, and his son dancing in the background XD! A simply idea, but still makes for a better experience vs still images. Give it a listen 🙂
Celestial Throne ft. Elias Frost – A Tale Of The Frustrated Housemare | Folk Metal
It looks like Cadence has a drinking problem XD! Well at least that’s the theme to this song. Celestial Throne gives us a humorous metal song about a frustrated house mare. I guess the life of a Princess, mother, and wife can be rather stressful! Featuring some familiar names in the brony metal scene with vocals by Elias Frost and mixing by Ponysphere. With a chugging guitar rhythm and some catchy lyrics that follow the beat, it has a bit of a pub vibe to it similar to Alestorm for those familiar with them. Not bad for his first venture into lyric writing, and I hope to see more from him in the future!
