Pony connotations aside, this is a really great song, very well written and performed (I was fairly surprised to see a fan track with actual guitar in it)
(full things like 8 minutes long, but it was split into 2 videos since ones more electronic then the other - first half is post hardcore while the second is pretty much a mix of downtempo and industrial for a lack of better words to describe it).

First post in the pony thread explains it pretty well, I don't feel like explaining at the moment. No, everyone hasn't suddenly turned gay or something.

What about this one?



oh and damn, I can't send rep to you right now, I just checked out this one, it amazed me, guitar riffs and stuff were really good, but pop-ish vocals were annoying. It was quite unique though, it's even different from volbeat. It's like mix of power metal and punk. I'll send this to my friends and check their other stuff though. Christian progressive power metal huh? Lol interesting.

Yup, yup. I actually found that song yesterday, but I've been listening this band for 2 years already. Here are some other great songs from this band:


Also I suggest you to read how the band started, it's pretty amazing. Just one man did everything(guitars, drums, etc).

Yeah, some bands do start as one person project, like Nine Inch Nails or some of the black metal (I don't like black metal though)

I wonder if Smith is still writing the whole music like he did when he was alone in his project, because guitar riffs are really good, songs you posted don't have solo though but this doesn't bother me because there are hidden solos in certain parts in songs and riffs are just amazing, so guitar work doesn't sound bad at all. Mirror of souls is more than 20 minutes long which is insane, so I didn't listened to end but it sounded nice. This length reminded me of dream theater, I can tell that they might be influenced by dream theater though, lol.

Do you know Megadeth and their Kick The Chair song from their The System Has Failed album? Riff of Rudolph vs. Frosty sounds so similar to intro of Kick The Chair's solo, lol.


Main religion of my country is not christianity, I can't say I believe in a certain religion nor a god either, I am just not the religious type, but I don't give a shit if a band is writing lyrics about a religion or writing a tribute for a religion. I just listen to good qualitied music, and I know what is good qualitied music. I hate both atheistic and zealotry. And that's it, lol.

If I may ask, why is there such an abundance of extreme metal (black, death, doom, thrash metal) fans here? o.o I mean, I consider myself a hard rock, rapcore, nu metal and symphonic metal favoritist, and those are fairly mainstream, yet there are few here with those tastes XD

Oh, and Ketsuno Anson, 3 Doors Down rock! 'Life Of My Own' and 'Kryptonite' are two songs you have to listen to by them. :3

Vinterland - A Vinter Breeze

Niden Div. 187 - A View In The Mirror Black

Istapp - I Väntan på Den Absoluta Nollpunkten

Noctes - Butterfly

All Swedish Black Metal this time! :p
Doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of other bands
and genres floating around though! Female fronted
Gothic- and Heavy Metal has been spinning a lot!

Oh, meaningless side-note:
Finally getting my hands on a Vinterland CD!
So damn happy!

@Elite Slayer, hehe, because Black-, Death-, Doom- and Thrash Metal is freaking amazing! ;D

Even though most of these genres have a hard time getting into the “mainstream” doesn't mean that they ain't popular, mate.
Of course, they ain't even near as popular as Radiohead and etc, but within the...
Let's say, "Second Wave of Black Metal/Norwegian Black Metal Underground", bands such as
Darkthrone, Burzum and Mayhem are huge (even outside the genre itself).

What I'm trying to say:
Black-, Death-, Doom- and Thrash Metal might seem "underground" and unknown, but
that's not really the truth, there are more people listening to the stuff than most people can
imagine (and for some reason, many gamers tend to like extreme metal, for some reason unknown to me).

Italian symphonic black metal band...I can't really live without listening to this song everyday...for the moment at least :)

Just listened to my first album from them, "Mare Nostrum", decent shit indeed! :)

When mentioning Earthbound music, one must never forget the Eight Melodies:

...adopted by some Japanese baseball team:
That's borderline erotic...

Anyhow, let's crank it up a notch. Let them know we mean business...


... and seal the deal with a corresponding face.

Wow, that's surprisingly well done for a GBA soundtrack, there's a few games on the GBA which have really good soundtracks, this one really sticks with me:

That's nice. This one is my favourite from Mother 3:

And Pollyanna, the Mother series tune. One of my favourite tunes of all time, most memorable by far. There are several versions. This is one of the more upbeat ones:

And a remix of the opening theme in Mother 1, really nicely done. I haven't even completed Mother 1 yet, but I somehow feel nostalgic:
