"Do not cry my dear princess for battle may force us to part however my loyalty shall unit us once more."

-General Derpy upon departure to battle

[metroponytan]

@fatman3050 retribution rides on swift wings! Derpy is best war horse. :)

[fatman3050]

@metroponytan Equestria Prevails is an inspiring artist and I have an eye on their DA Loving every bit of it

NRG prologue has hooked me and I'am tensed with eagerness to see more

Equestria Prevails you have won the universe and everything within it!

[21stCenturyPanda]

I never realised it until just now but what my life really lacked was Pony-post-rock! This song is awesome =D

[metroponytan]

@21stCenturyPanda I'm trying to think of what other songs can be converted to post-rock... any ideas? And thanks!

[21stCenturyPanda]

@metroponytan Giggle at the Ghostly in the style of Godspeed You! Black Emperor- it must be a winner! In seriousness, it would never have occurred to me that this song could work so well done like this, so now I'm having trouble narrowing it down (although out of all of them, the Gala song is closest to having the sort of epic sweep I associate with a lot of post-rock). Maybe it's worth looking at the background music? I'd imagine it lends itself more easily to this sort of thing. Possibly =)

[fatman3050]

@metroponytan did you try looking at season one songs? You might find one worth trying *shrug*

(I may have send some to this with my comment on the carol someone put up)

[metroponytan]

@fatman3050 Actually, "smile smile smile" works pretty well if at half speed, I'm working on an instrumental version right now and it's not bad. :)

[fatman3050]

@metroponytan cool thanks for the heads up I'll be sure to give it an ear

[markieklm]

the epicness of this song is just intance!

[metroponytan]

@markieklm :D Thanks!

[DarkApostleMatt]

post-rock is best rock

[metroponytan]

@DarkApostleMatt "Look out, here somes Tom!" ;)

[barrelracer318]

WOW That was awesome. I can't say much more than that... Just, AWESOME!

[M3XYPZ]

@metroponytan Okey dokey lokey, i downloaded it from mediafire so i had no problems

[M3XYPZ]

"u read the whole description?! u deserve a dl link"

:yaoming: just looked for the word mediafire

[metroponytan]

@M3XYPZ oops, responded with other account. :P  Also let me know if those links expire, I don't know how long those stay up.

[DarianTyros]

This sounds SO COOL.

[nicopolitan]

@DarianTyros Thanks! :)

[Pyrobug0]

I love this song for its concept alone. Equestria Prevails is one of my absolute favorite artists. That the song kicks ass is an added bonus.

[nicopolitan]

@Pyrobug0 Hopefully this song encourages him to publish more. We need to know what happens!

[JellyChilliMustard]

It sounds like a Civil War era song little bit with a modern touch.

[metroponytan]

@JellyChilliMustard That's cool! I don't even know what those sound like but now I'm going to look them up. :)

[niffynfth]

After the Napoleon quote I pictured an early XIX. century battlefield where ponies with rifles in hooves push forward towards the enemy while this march is played.

[metroponytan]

@niffynfth I wonder if ponies can use rifles? Pinkie Pie already owns a canon...

[niffynfth]

@metroponytan maybe earth ponies need a special trigger mechanism. And some kind of straps to clamp the weapon the the pony and prevent it from kicking back.

[TrollPiracy]

Fukin SAveD!

[metroponytan]

@TrollPiracy :D

[FlamingAtheist]

If theres a movie this should be used!

[metroponytan]

@FlamingAtheist If Equestria Prevails ever makes a movie, I guarantee I will be there opening night...!

[FlamingAtheist]

@metroponytan Well then ill be seeing you there!

[alphatelescopii]

This is just beautiful. Nice work. I find post-rock to be great music.

[metroponytan]

@alphatelescopii There's always a place in my heart for post-rock, too, I hope people don't stop making it.

[lazinessrulez]

*single manly tear gets shed*

Beautiful. That is all.

[metroponytan]

@lazinessrulez Mig Mac manly tear? ;)

[lazinessrulez]

@metroponytan Eeyup.

[zXDcigz]

I love your work bro! :D

[metroponytan]

@zXDcigz Thanks! Didn't expect to become a pony musician but I'm loving being one. :)

[noesmano]

This is ....glorious.

[metroponytan]

@noesmano For the greater glory of Equestria. *salutes*

[hanchenlu]

It's awesome that someone else is trying to do pony post-rock. The only other person I know of is IlumiTalvi, and unfortunately he/she hasn't put anything out for months.

[metroponytan]

@hanchenlu !!! Totally subscribing to that channel anyway. Thanks for the heads up!

[PrimusGladius]

Should have been Neighpoleon Bonaparte. :P

[metroponytan]

@PrimusGladius Aw man, I really should have thought about that. XD

[Deafdoom33]

poniponiponi!

[metroponytan]

@Deafdoom33 brohoof!

[ThatHalfAsian]

This was so awesome!! You totally remind me of Explosions in the Sky, they've got amazing instrumental guitar work and drum set if you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend that you search it up :)

With that said, if your artist name was Rainbooms in the Sky, it'd make my day fosho :D Great music brony

[metroponytan]

@ThatHalfAsian I love EitS, I saw them live and they totally rocked my face off...! And dangit, where were you when I was trying to think of a ponysona name? "Rainbooms in the Sky" is sooo perfect.

[ThatHalfAsian]

@metroponytan You saw them live?! Lucky man must've been bomb, and haha sadly I was missing out on your music I spose :)

[JackInASphere]

Very nice!



[metroponytan]

@JackInASphere Thanks!

[ANZULonDA]

good stuff dude,and i liked GATG too :)

and props to you for properly giving credit to the artsist :D

[metroponytan]

@ANZULonDA I will always credit the artists! The fandom is too amazing to not give credit. Plus it's probably my English degree in action, I have to cite things or it drives me nuts haha.

[ANZULonDA]

@metroponytan indeed they are amazing :)

and i dont have an English degree..... but i am the only one in my family that can get it fully (and then make some fail-coments lol) XD

[JestersGhost]

What did you use to make the drums? The intro drumming sound a little mechanic. (Not that it's bad, no worries) Great work none-the-less. ;)

[metroponytan]

@JestersGhost I used Ableton Live's drum sequencer, and just repeated a .wav sample of a real drum. I'd prefer using an actual drum kit since I know how to play drums but I live in an apartment...!

[JestersGhost]

@metroponytan You can just say "Disregard neighbours, acquire epic drum line".

The only problem is, that you can't disregard the police. :/

[metroponytan]

@JestersGhost Technically I can, but that would be 'disregard police, acquire MASSIVE fine'!  heh

[MegaPatron]

very lovely music :)

[metroponytan]

@MegaPatron thanks!
