L-Train & RoCSMOr – Pillars Of Equestria Part Two | Symphonic Metal

L-Train and his Royal Canterlot Symphonic Metal Orchestra have finally returned for the long-awaited sequel to Pillars of Equestria. Part 1 told the tale of the seven legendary ponies, and how they were brought together; six years later, we listen to their exploits: the battle with the Sirens, the planting of the Seed of Harmony, the fall of Stygian, the rise of the Pony of Shadows, and their ultimate disappearance.

Part 2 is once again a grand collaboration, with 4EverfreeBrony, DaWillstanator, ShadowSprite, SkyBolt, and Aria Diamond returning for their roles as the Pillars, and Cyril the Wolf and Namii filling in for Francis Vace and Aramau. In addition, Celica Soldream provides a spectacular performance as the Sirens, and some additional instrumentals are provided by Pathfinder Project, Koron Korak, BlueBrony, Osoch, and Blackened Blue.

Be sure to listen to both parts, and give all the artists (especially L-Train) some love! Find L-Train on YouTube, Bluesky, and Bandcamp.

Frozen Night – Scarlet Rain’s Elegy | Symphonic Metal

The penultimate track of Frozen Night’s long-awaited album, Time’s Arrow, has arrived. Like a portent of epic adventure on the horizon, a tense intro features melancholy melodies dotted with hope-filled tones and backed by solemn strings and piano strokes. The tension builds and reaches a climactic burst of percussion, strings, and electric guitars, transforming Idylya’s soft lullaby into a warrior’s anthem. Powerful vocals from the ever-talented vocalist/singer-songwriter Celica Soldream cut seamlessly through the storm of emotion, inviting the listener to push through the chaos to a peaceful solitude just beyond the tumultuous winds. Will you answer the call?

[P@D] Idyllia – Sol (feat. Velvet R. Wings) | Symphonic Black Metal

There are different opinions in this fandom about Daybreaker. No one, however, can argue that Celestia’s dark side is what this epic piece of music by the duo of Idyllia and Velvet R. Wings represents: beautiful, powerful, and destructive. P@D: Zenith is full of beautifully crafted heavy metal creations, and this track is no different. As you stand in fear, you feel the presence of her divine rage around you. Velvet’s voice serenades wonderfully in your last moments before you are swept away in holy flames. You feel like trembling from frightful chills from the guitars and drums in this score. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

[P@D] Frozen Night – Awakening (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | Symphonic Metal

The call has gone out to all warriors! It’s time for “Awakening!” This epic track from Frozen Night’s concept album, Time’s Arrow, dives right into battle mode as resounding bass drums begin to herald a rousing call to war. Uplifting choirs and dramatic strings and horns build a sense of destiny advancing into strong conflict. An uplifting, Celtic-warrior-type melody eventually bursts into a climactic electric guitar solo by SDreamExplorerS, which brilliantly expresses the buildup to the critical point of battle where the tide turns, and victory is assured. For all who want to awaken the righteous warrior within, be sure to listen to this inspiring track from P@D’s newest album release, Aurora.
