Destiny: A Tale of Unicorn Wings (IT'S RELEASED!)

[Legendary Emerald 622]

Yo, in case y'all haven't already heard about it, I figured I'd better mention it here. This fandom produces some great content, and this is one music project to look out for.

 

 

 

UPDATE: THE ALBUM IS OUT!!!!

Okay, I've posted about this album at least ten times here before, but you all stubbornly refuse to show any interest! Well, in the immortal words of JonTron, "I AAAAAAAAAAIN'T HAVIN' THAT SHIT!"

 

"Destiny: A Tale of Unicorn Wings" is a 1 hour and 51 minute long progressive rock concept album/rock opera based on the MLP:FiM franchise, specifically focusing on the possible after effects of Season 3's ending. It is the longest fandom album created by a single individual; "Destiny" was composed, written, and performed by HeyLasFas, who you may recognize as a performer at many a brony convention, the creator of the "Nightfall" concept album from a few years back, and the player of the immortal instrument that is known as the Cat Piano. Various other people were brought on to master the album.

 

The first single off of "Destiny" is "Faultless".

 

 

That should give you a small taste of what is on the album. If you still aren't convinced, check out the "Nightfall" album, helpful uploaded as a single video on LasFas' youtube channel.

 

 

You can find LasFas and updates on the album at: http://heylasfas.tumblr.com

His albums can be found for purchase at: http://heylasfas.bandcamp.com/

 

Pre-orders for the physical, 2 disc set of "Destiny" are currently being fielded by LasFas over on his tumblr, so shoot him a message on there if you want a chance at nabbing a piece of fandom history.

You had me sold at "Prog Rock Epic."

 

I'll give this a listen when I have some free time, yo.

Glad to see some interest! Like I said, the album comes out this Sunday, but LasFas' previous pro rock epic, "Nightfall" is already out, and it is awesome! The youtube link is embedded into the first post, and you can find the album for streaming and purchasing on bandcamp. You can even download the album for free, and have it in 320kbs mp3 or glorious lossless!

This was new for me.

 

New in a good way I liked what I heard.

 

The music overpowered the lyrics a little to me.

 

But I enjoyed Faultless it was interesting to hear and the ending was great.

 

I'm going to be keeping a ear open might check out nightfall more closely tomorrow.

 

The opening "Everything is going to be fine." I enjoyed it.

Glad you liked it! Yeah, LasFas' voice has had the tendency to be drowned out by the music at times. It's more evident in his older material that he had to mix and master himself. Nowdays, he doesn't master his own music much, so other people are able to bring his voice more to the forefront.

 

That said, the best way to listen to a LasFas song the first time is to follow along with the lyrics. It really helps one understand what the song is about and follow the storyline. I'd suggest that for any concept song or album, actually. Lyrics can be very important to a song.

Less than 24 hours remain...

 

I am so hyped for this.

I got it about 20 minutes early since I pre-ordered, and it sounds amazing!

 

Edit: YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE ON TRACK FOUR, COMPLAINING ABOUT TWILIGHT AND CITRUS!

So, has anyone else listened to it yet? I want to hear what people think!

Destiny headlinned the mid-month album compilation update post! Yippee!
