Below, find a selection of some of the best
Let the ritual to summon Nightmare Moon begin...
Single Purpose made such a fitting and incredible song for tonight's sacred celebration, that I had the honor of releasing through Cider Party, along custom visuals that are some of my favorite I ever did for the channel. Maybe you will be able to tell how much fun I had with it! The track is so delightfully dark, I had to partake in the madness!
Jah, Tetragrammaton, Sadai... May you open the door of Equestria...
ALSO! A new pony compilation album got organized and released for Nightmare Night, titled "Luna’s Nightmare Society", and while it will get its own solo post later, I'll already share it tonight while Nightmare Night is still underway: find it on Bandcamp here!!
ALSO ALSO! 10 new standalone pony songs got released just tonight to celebrate Nightmare Night, too! Our community is just so active!! They will be posted later on, but here again I'm already sharing them here so you have your fill of Nightmare Night music from the community for tonight! This is a party! Find all the links below the break!

Trixie has a lot of fanfics. We've posted a bunch already that won't be in this post (you can find them here), and this compilation covers a bunch that haven't already been in compilations!
Check them out below and thanks to Whisper Key for sending them.
For those of you who are into gore and dark stuff (or just the open-minded music lovers), Lighty aka Light Assassin got you covered for this Nightmare Night, as he made an epic and resolutely dark song about murdering Princess Cadance, as the title says! (and that is even enacted in the music!) Synthwave has never felt so dark, and this one is quality for sure! Be sure to thank Lighty for this treat everypony!

Whirlwind's new EP got a successful launch, I repeat, Whirlwind's new EP got a successful launch! "The Mission" is a new concept-powered EP by the drummer and producer, about The Equestria Space program commissioning him "to embark a daring journey into the unknown atmospheres of the Cosmos" as the description says. The starry and mystical Liquid DnB beauties throughout the EP are definitely reflecting the mysteries and beauty of space, while the Orchestral pieces are adding deep story-telling through music and with the help of vocal samples too! The intro track is especially emotional for me, calling back to past music-powered "journeys" such as in Skyrim, with the moment at 0:31 feeling just like when you get out of that tutorial cave! As for the track Solar Surf, it's just my favorite from the EP, with such emotional moments and musical style, reminding me of Synthis or even Jastrian!
Listen to the EP from YouTube here (also embedded below the break), or from Bandcamp here!
After listening to this nonstop for the last 2 days, I think it's time to discuss Sweetie Bot!
Friendship is Witchcraft introduced the idea as a joke ages ago, and over the years it has kinda spawned a very small mini-fandom of it's own. It grows and dies based on what is released within, but the concept still remains.
Our favorite hypothetical Hasbro executive has returned once again from a board meeting demanding more technological presence in pony to appeal to zoomers. He recommends Sweetie Bot. How would you make it work? Do you go all in turning her into a badass robot on the run trying to discover why she exists? Or is it more down to earth and silly like the Friendship is Witchcraft version?
Discuss below!
I know a bunch of you out there are pin collectors, and with the convention season completely obliterated by Covid, this is probably one of the better ways to expand your collection. A new kickstarter has arrived to deliver the designs up above, with stretch goals introducting new ponie inlcuding just about every major character out there.
You can find it over here if you want in on it.
Your anthro and humanized art arrives! We've got some excellent stuff today in a bigger than usual compilation. Check em all out below!
Rubber just released a whole EP full of heartfelt rap, pony lyrics, pony vocal samples, and dark instrumentals fitting for the weigh of the messages expressed here. Nevermourn did the mixing and mastering for most tracks, while TCB did the instrumental of the last track Thalassophobia, and there are also vocal collabs with Ditherer and ZD! Rubber has drawn the cover art of the EP himself too, and it sure is expressing a lot. The EP is available both on YouTube (videos embedded below the break) and on Soundcloud. Let's wish Rubber the best and send him our support everypony! That's what we do, for we are bronies!

Description: A heavy snowstorm traps a group of ponies in a tiny hamlet far away from any civilization, and while the adults are doing their best to fend off the elements and ration the quickly fading supplies, the foals decide to go out of bounds and figure it out on their own. But only one of them will be able to find out where the cold comes from.
Where the Cold Comes From

Made as a "special Halloween gift", this new track from Lianella is a collab with Filacki and it delivers in their signature vocal style but with a Big Room spin this time. Pony musicians having fun together, as you can see in the video!
The A cover for Friendship is Magic comic #92 has finally been revealed after the solicits way back in August. You should be able to pick the one up above once it releases in December
Thanks to Edward for the heads up.
To celebrate this Nightmare Night, GeekBrony presents a dark and tasty remix of the epic song from EQG Legend of Everfree, blasting a 8-minutes progression of Psytrance greatness! The remix is quite impressive not only with the instrumental but how it plays on the original vocals too. A savory treat and fine offering to Nightmare Moon indeed, or more like Midnight Sparkle in this case!
Ethan's piece made for the Halloween-themed DustCar race might remind you of one OST or another! Personally it reminded me of Halloween Town from Kingdom Hearts, and it also gave me some FF9 vibes at some moments! (Think "Treno"!) Either way, it's a grand and impressive track for sure, and it was inspired by that cute G3 Pinkie artwork!
I need more 90's punk Fluttershy in my life.
Time to celebrate all things art. Get your pone compilation below!
And now for a change of musical pace... with a very space-y and dreamy track! The ending might surprise you though! It's another part of the upcoming CRUSHCORE EP, that you can check out in full early below the break as well!
Submissions for the pony pumpkin carving event are closing soon! We might extend it by a few days on request of a few people that want to do their pumpkins on Halloween, but don't expect a huge extra amount of time. Try to get them in by November 1st!
Have some anthro figures as a header for this one. They are rare enough. The rest of the post is poni

[2] SourceRedSpark did it again, a powerful tribute to our beloved Princess of the Night, made spontaneously in response to that amazing art from Queen-KittyKat, that I sure know of! The composition is so rich and the emotional melodies on the piano may remind you of some cherished time or adventure alongside party members...
I'm sure I'm not the only one that loves these Sweetie Bot songs from Prince Whatever. It still amazes me that the entire concept of android Sweetie Belle spawned from a joke in Friendship is Witchcraft all those years ago.
The third installment in the Destabalize series has arrived, complete with a bit of animation to really show off her dark and light sides along with the music
