One of my personal top favorites from Amity, Windigos is a stunning blend of Metal and Orchestral, and incidentally or not, it is by masters of the genres Elias Frost and Jyc Row respectively. For this one, Elias composed an almighty instrumental using many instruments like the mandolin, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and even flute, going all-out and delivering many emotional wonders over an incredible progression. The flute is especially one of my weaknesses here, and it really does amazing things throughout the soft yet powerful instrumental. Another of the elements I love the most about this masterpiece has got to be the vocals. Jyc Row‘s outstanding Metal vocals are proving once again to be insanely epic, and fill the song with a power full of the spirit of rock music and charisma. The backing vocals from Elias are also adding so much emotion to the song. In the last vocal part of the track in particular, the extended backing vocals blending with Jyc’s lead vocals in perfect unisson, has got to be the most emotional and intense part of the song for me, providing vocal melodic bliss and extra Folk vibes, for a masterful finale of divine power. I’m getting teary-eyed again while writing this, you guys are awesome, keep it up, I love you :’)
Audios
Daniel Ingram – Out On My Own (Foozogz Remix) | Electro
I think I’m definitely not the only one when I say that when a new Foozogz track comes out it’s a moment of much joy and delight, so let’s partake in musical pony bliss once again as the renowned musician’s take on Daniel Ingram‘s Out On My Own from S6 unfolds! Both the episode On Your Marks and Apple Bloom’s song proved to be as emotional and relatable as they were inspiring and calling for passionate musical tributes, and despite Foozogz’s signature cheerful musical vibe contrasting with the emotions at work in Apple Bloom’s heart at that time, it does a wonderful job at sublimating Michelle Creber‘s vocals once again, throughout a bright instrumental of much added emotion and depth.
[P@D] Frozen Night – Crystal Tears (feat. ForeverFreest) | Orchestral Metal
Frozen Night, aka the master of emotional Orchestral Metal who made many gorgeous instrumental pieces, teamed up with fabulous vocalist ForeverFreest to create this masterpiece and token of Amity. Deep strings and piano, epic drums and guitar, beautiful and resonant vocals, and even choruses pile up in a lovely progression to tell a moving tale in a powerful musical format. An amazing job, and another proof that two in harmony surpasses one in perfection!
SlightlyAmiss & GuitarBrony13 – Mirage | Punk Rock
A rocking collaboration of shimmering wonders, SlightlyAmiss and GuitarBrony13 bring all the powerful riffs and the Punk vocals in this tribute to best pony from the EQG movies. Just imagine this being performed at some gig hall in Equestria! A mighty job and song from the musicians, be sure to show them your support!
[P@D] bank pain & Thrasher – Searchlights Over Canterlot | Metal Neurofunk
Pendulum meets Noisia anyone? Or perhaps something straight from an album by The Qemists (thanks Sky Runner for reminding me about them!) This contribution to Amity comes from the producers of two of my favourite songs from the last P@D album. Thrasher’s used to combining metal guitars and electronic sounds, but this might be a first for bank – nonetheless the blend of metal and dnb is seamless. I hope we get to see more of this kind of thing from these two artists in the future!
Radiarc – Once | Orchestral
Radiarc’s new piece is a much emotional one, with heavenly piano and strings chanting the track into a mighty artifact of magic transcending time and space. The subtle OST vibes are adding even more depth to the song, further complemented by the fabulous piece of art from master Shamanguli. Sound beauty beyond words, and a piece to reminisce and reflect to during those small moments of time when we try to pause life in a lapse of awareness.
[P@D] L.M. – Eve (ExplodingPonyToast Remix) | Chillout / Future
To honor the emotion from Awakening and more particularly the incredible Eve from LucienMusique, our dear ExplodingPonyToast brought to life a remix full of subtle emotional callbacks to the original, yet also creating a brand new emotional journey of sound among the chill vibes and Future influences. The last part is in my opinion the emotional pinnacle of the remix, and doesn’t fail to make me teary-eyed again as I’m writing this and relistening to it. A torrent of masterful and passionate melodies paying much tribute to the melodies of the original, and a perfect alchemy of sounds resulting in powerful magic!
St. Pinkie – Silence Of The Night (feat. N. Hollow) | Hip-Hop
Bathed in a delightful Chinese musical influence, this track from St. Pinkie released under Crystal Empire Records features vocals from N. Hollow that you may know from critically acclaimed songs such as Bloodhound and New Wave. This one gives a very interesting musical spin to the classic MLP theme and backstory explained in the description, and it really results in a tribute that is as amazing as it is original.
[P@D] Morgsch – Let The Sun Rise (feat. Itchigotchi) (Sonic Rainboom Remix) | Experimental Pop
Another remix of a track featuring Itchigotchi’s beautiful vocals, this time it’s Sonic Rainboom’s turn to show some Amity with this definitely much original and inspired remix. With an unusual spin we don’t see so often, it manages to create a refreshing instrumental and vibe conveying much love and making awesome use of the vocals.
Totalspark – What Once Was (feat. Itchigotchi) (Spectra Remix) | Melodic Dubstep
Melodic Dubstep has always been my weakness ever since the Omnipony days, and it has been quite rare since then, but our beloved Spectra had the amazing idea of sublimating What Once Was with the mighty power and emotion of the genre, and it sure achieved its targets! Heavenly synths, melodic drops of untold emotion, and beautiful breaks of divine purity, are all parts of what makes this remix special to me. An amazing job, and tribute to both the original track and the genre!
