Special thanks to Hasbro, DHX and all the folks behind My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Equestria Daily, My Little Remix and Bronies Australia. More special thanks to SkyBolt, to providing some terrific lyrics and putting up with my critiques and rewrites, also to Secret Metal for being even more enthusiastic about Moonrise than I am, and for making the mix sound amazing. Also thanks to Slightly Serious and Kyoga, who were sadly unable to contribute to Moonrise. A very special thankyou to everyone who auditioned, even those who weren't chosen, your talent and enthusiasm are a great inspiration to me. An unthankyou to everyone who said they'd audition and then were never heard from again. Finally, the most special thankyou to the brony community worldwide, particularly all of my friends, fans and followers, without your support and encouragement Moonrise would have never happened, thankyou for listening to me and my ridiculous music about miniature talking equines :)

This was and still is the best part of the brony community. The enormous variety of what MLP can be. From heart-wrenching tragedies, the fantastic epics, to cute slice-of-life, to shameless clop and so forth. It's why even though other shows/games have come and gone with me MLP is the one thing I haven't been able to get away from for the full 7 years.

Last year, for a school project, I was required to choose any album that I like to present to people and say why everybody needs to listen to it. I chose Moonrise over every other album I've ever heard. I got 100% on it and hooked half the class on your music (even people that hate MLP) and symphonic metal. Don't stop what you're doing.

+RattPitt I don't care for MLP at all, but this is absolutely beautifully done. I love the symphonic metal scene, and go out of my way to find any and all good bands/artists in the genre when I can. I can honestly say that this is significantly more well done than a large majority of the random stuff out there, and on par with some of my favorite bands in the genre. Even the lyrics, which I find silly at times, are particularly well written. I don't care a huge amount for the story, but I can certainly appreciate someone that knows how to write.

In my opinion, this story could not have been told any better. It really explains the feelings of Luna leading up to her banishment, the feelings of Celestia having to banish her, and also (even though it was mentioned very little) the feelings of those who had to fight their war. All in all, the greatest piece of brony music I've heard so far. It deserves way more recognition. Keep on rockin

True. The more I listen to it, the more I'm amazed by the lyrics. The other day I even teared up a bit at the "If I could have saved you, if I could have known - though much time will pass, I'll love you evermore". The whole conflict between the two sisters, with Luna frustrated and depressed (and maybe a tiny bit paranoid?) at her hard work being ignored, and Celestia feeling sad and even guilty that her sister did such a thing while at the same time never softening her resolve to do what must be done for the good of the kingdom... it just hits all the right strings.

The L-Train I listen to this genre of music all the time and I would like to say I think this song is well made but I still agree with AMrTheAn somewhat. There is something about it that doesn't give it the 'epic' feel of what I normally listen to in comparison to, for example, Sacred Worlds by Blind Guardian. What I think it is is that it does not go to the extremes of loud and soft enough, but that is just my opinion. Also note sorry if I come off a little rude but I just wanted to supply some constructive criticism.

This is a masterpiece. The effort, investment, and soul that all of you have put into this work is exceedingly evident. This piece blurs the line between amateur and professional. The only real thing that Moonrise suffers from is that it is admittedly short for a full-fledged symphonic metal opera. One could only have hoped to have born further witness to the glorious and then tragic relationship between the "beloved alicorns, the angels whom we adorn with majesty". Even so, I cannot imagine how much time has already been spent to weave this masterful retelling of a story which itself has only ever been told to us in brevity. Whatever rough edges are left begin to dwindle away with each passing scene. Musicians, writers, vocalists, artists all: as a lover of tales, as a lover of music, I offer my praise and my sincerest gratitude.

My whole family's musical. My parents owned (and we have the old synth in our house) a recording studio. I was born with perfect pitch, a great ear for music, some great taste (if I do say so myself), and I have listened to a LOT of metal. I can safely say that, for all the music I've heard, this stands among masterpieces. The riffwork is fantastic and the instrumentation is gloriously incredible, truly fitting for the story it tells. I love the lyrical inflections and accents, and all subtleties to this piece. It's truly a job well done, and all those involved should feel extremely proud of themselves. And, it makes ponies sound badass. What's not to like? Haha. My only very very insignificant note is a case of personal preference, and I feel some of the singing could have been a little... what's the word...? More weighted. Same tone, same inflections, just with a little more weight. And, I found myself thinking that some of the sound mixing could have been a little better here or there so the lyrics are just a little more audible over the instruments. However, both of those are extremely minor, and I don't think this needs to be changed at all. It's brilliant, plain and simple. Thank you.

Holy crap man! The other musical bronies better step it up, I need to get on your level lol. How did you record the guitars? With an actual amp or through a virtual amp simulator? I'm still not sure if it even matters, but I bet you would :P

@L-TRAIN 10 жыл бұрын

Thanks :) The guitars were all recorded using an amp simulator, Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5, although Secret Metal re-amped all of the rhythm guitars with ... some other simulator, I forget which. I've found it's a lot simpler working that way than dicking around with amps and speakers and mics (and annoying the neighbours...)

I must say this pleases me greatingly, especially since it stays faithful to the source and don't paint Celestia more negatively then intended by the writers and Lauren... which is not much. Her biggest failing being not seeing the darkness rising in Luna's heart and preventing it from happening. My only wish was that it was longer, perhaps pushing to that of a hour at least and even expanding the opera to include that of the sisters fight of Discord and King Sombra, not only that of the rise of Nightmare Moon. Have the opera tell that story of the royal sisters, of their rise as the diarches of Equestria to that of the fall of Luna. Of Celestia spending one thousand year preparing for the return of Nightmare Moon, seeking new bearers so as to save her sisters. This would be a story I would love to see following after the style of Moonrise. Of any case, thank you for all your hard work.
