Filly in the Box – Split | Drumstep

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 September 2017.

A new track from Filly In The Box is always certain to come with two things – awesome pony vocal chops and some heavy bass design. Both of those are in strong presence here, as part of a track about the two sides to a Changeling. The melodies throughout the track are also pretty interesting and hold it up outside the heavier parts.

Dynamite Grizzly – Everything Comes Natural | Tech House / Acid House

Inspired by the latest episode, Dynamite Grizzly makes a really danceable and awesome 9 minutes track of pure underground house! With some help from White Water Black Sheep (Exo), Dynamite created a really good track full of flavor and trippy feelings! In the description, Dynamite says that the song was mostly inspired by Underworld, a really awesome techno band that mixes a lot of electronic genres! This track is really awesome! Turn it up and dance to it! Give Dynamite some love!

[P@D] iblank2apples – Give Me Wings | Electro House

The last of the P@D pre-releases on Cider Party in anticipation for the new album Anthology (release party is TONIGHT!) comes from iblank2apples, the electro horse himself. As mentioned in the video description, this song pays tribute to Hurricane Fluttershy and mirrors her character in the episode. Starting off calm and atmospheric, it builds into a steady beat, calms down again, but really pumps things up for the second drop – and it completely changes the feel of the song! You gotta check it out for yourself!

The Anthology album premiere starts in 2 hours on PonyvilleFM; we’ll have another reminder as it’s set to begin and we hope to see you there!

The rock musicians of the fandom have been having a great time getting inspiration from Pear Butter, and that continues with Crusader! releasing a gorgeous soft acoustic piece that puts another spin on the well-trodden love story. His vocals are lovely, and the guitar works nicely in combination.

ertrii’s gorgeously chill vibes are back again. With a groovy intro making way to some lovely arps, the pads in the background start to come to the fore throughout the track, with some lovely feels that definitely give the impression of gently falling through the sky. Check it out below for a mesmerising experience!

Sable Symphony – Flawless (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal

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!

Einarx – Invaders (Dj Shadow Music Remix) | Brostep

Einarx’s Invaders was an absolutely epic surprise. I haven’t encountered Shadow Music before this, but I’m completely taken by his excellent take on Invaders! It opens with a bit of static, something I love. Once the song proper starts, a myriad collection of eerie ambient effects combine for a downright awesome mix.

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!

Matías Peñaloza – In Our Town (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Piano

Another well-done cover for piano has been played by Matías Peñaloza here, who has now given us the big song that Starlight Glimmer sang back when she was a villain.  The technique is clean, which makes this cover entertaining to listen to.  The accompaniment music really helps bring it all together, and it gives the cover, as a whole, a nice finish.  That’s some good stuff there; quite enjoyable!

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!
