I know the right? While it's definitely impressive the show (a child-oriented cartoon, no less) managed 9 seasons without recycling plots too much... I still get that "just one more" feeling every time I think about "the end of the end", you know? The thing I think we need to remember is that what was always awesome about the show was the community based around it, not just the show itself. And, judging by the steady feed of fanfiction still being produced on fimfiction.net, the fact said site has a strong Patreon supporter-base (self included by the way), and the fact Equestrian Daily is still very much alive and kicking, I don't think we have too much to worry about :-). Even if we did, with a name IRL that means "lover of horses" (and a middle name meaning "God is my judge"), I'm a diehard fan to the end, and I'll be darned if that changes :-)

Using the melodies from the og Rainbow Factory song but adding that echo to them like they're actually playing in an old and abandoned facility is fucking genius
I recently found who they are talking about when they say “my mane is purple my coat is orange” they are referring to Scootaloo who couldn’t fly still to this day can’t fly because her wings can’t grow to full size
First off: the song is called Pegasus Device which is based off the fanfiction of the same name and all of this stuff is explicitly said (provided you read Rainbow Factory and understand that Absentia is Scootaloo). Secondly: because this song is based off Pegasus Device and Rainbow Factory, it should be know that Scootaloo can fly in the story except she still isn't proficient which goes against what you said about Scootaloo not being able to fly (which is the canonical status for this character's flight but not how it is presented in the story). Just trying to shed some light.
Yep. It Starts with Rainbow Factory, then Awoken, followed by Pegasus Device. Prototype is also related, though not sure where into the story it fits. Likely either right before or after Awoken. If you really wanna stretch out to more unknown songs, there's another track about the Rainbow Factory called "Deep Integration" by F1ak that's pretty good. Not sure where it fits though, I think that's left up to the imagination.
Hey, that's quite cool, thanks for sharing! If anything I'd place this after Prototype, but then again, at that point who knows how it fits with Rainbow Factory.
I love how you incorporated Dash's thoughts in how far she has fallen. You can clearly see that she already lost her soul and maybe also her element as well... Then comes Scooterloo and destroys Dash even more when her #1 idol found out that she was the mastermind behind the genocide... I love this...
+Nico scootaloo isn't the mastermind behind all this it's still rainbow dash, scootaloo killed herself towards the end of the story, and in the story she's been held captive in the factory for 20 years
Uhmm... who said the mastermind was Scooterloo? I think you read my comment wrong and I think I also made a typo... I was supposed to type "Then comes Scooterloo and destroys Dash even more when her #1 *fan* found out that she was the mastermind behind the genocide" but I wrote down the word "idol"... Oops
This song. This video. This is what has inspired, created, and directed my online persona. I'm not a brony, but the fact that the Fandom can create such art like this, powerful enough to effect even people who don't have the context, is something i respect. This song is amazing.

That little tie in at the end with Rainbow Factory and Awoken was genius :D. Also I liked the little Rainbow Factory reprise during the instrumental portion, also well executed.

CoffeeFan15 Seems about right. I did a quick BPM test by clicking my mouse for 10 seconds to the beat of the song and I got 180 BPM, so 90 is probably about right. The key seems to change throughout the song as well.

How to enjoy this song better: Step 1.) Insure headphones are plugged in (get a decent pair) Step 2.) turn volume to the max Step 3.) Profit. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any ear damage whilst attempting to re-create this awesomeness
well I did have a disclaimer....... XD EDIT: I just thought of something that sounds cheesy and possibly perverse but still makes sense: "I like my songs like race cars, FAST and LOUD" P.S.- I generally like fast paced songs, esp. electronic ones
It’s late and all but my favorite part is “the luxury of rainbows comes at a price just ignore the screams, and don’t think twice” its dark and shows how people can make you feel afraid of the truth. Congrats on the views btw. And love your new nightmare night!
That synth riff is, if you'll excuse the expression, so... AWESOME! For me, it evokes a feeling of an ever-advancing doom, like a heartless production line claiming life after life, without even the malice or anger that would at least ground the horror in something understandable. The true horror of a factory setting is the utter, well-oiled efficiency of the process. Also, it's just pure headbang material.
Wait, at the end of the song there was a line that's says, and I quote "now I'm awoken, and taking back control". So in the song awoken, it takes place in scootaloo's head as she regains her sanity and memories and ditches the factory. This story just gets better
Deep in the pages of history Lies a shadow hiding in a mystery A late night story buried far away Until it once again sees the light of day And when the little colts and fillies turn out all lights And tell a story of a factory as black as night The luxury of rainbows comes at a price Just ignore the screams, and don't think twice You've proven to yourself and to all of us That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus You don't even deserve those wings you bear When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility The souls of many innocent fill the air And the hope that they all died with scattered here and there A mighty machine built within the wake Of a long dead dream, little demon awake The citizens sleep, never quite knowing when The device will reawaken, hungry again You've proven to yourself and to all of us That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus You don't even deserve those wings you bear When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device I don't even remember my past I don't remember who I used to be I don't even remember my friends of old I don't remember my destiny My mane is purple and my coat is orange What I've become?

Good to hear that even though you might not be a fan, you are still willing to open yourself up to something new and not give it flak without even listening to it experiencing it
+Logan Estes (Modiety Minion, Owl King) Hell, I'm one of the most die-hard fans, and I love to poke fun at it here and there, pick apart the lore and such, but when I see it get flak, the fans get flak from uneducated haters, that's when I get mad
Exactly! Becuase they think it's a "Girls Show" -Which my opinion is that is is TOTALLY was intended to be- they think they can rip the fans that aren't female apart!
+Logan Estes (Modiety Minion, Owl King) I'm just sticking with my belief that they are insecure and uneducated, so that's the only thing that makes them feel good...
I think this is probably my favourite Brony song at the moment. I was never a huge fan of the concept behind the Rainbow Factory, but I can't deny that the songs Glaze and H8_Seed created about it were spectacular pieces of music, and this is just about the best addition to complete the Rainbow Factory music trilogy anyone could ask for =D You did a brilliant job SlyphStorm! Easily one of the best songs in the past year =D Keep up the great work!
FritzyBeat That it really is. I never really did like the original Rainbow Factory (something about it just didn't sit right with me, although I have yet to find what that was to this day), but I've enjoyed Awoken, and now I'm enjoying this even more. By far the best of the three.
It's been so long. I used to listen to this on repeat. I wanted inspiration for a dark rap for Halloween and remembered this gem, but after 4 years I forgot how perfect it is. And when it got to the rainbow factory and awoken references I started tearing up. It was an overwhelming flood of memories, of the fanfics, the songs, the days where I'd watch MLP with my old HighSchool friends, and most importantly being a part of a community. Now it all feels like another life ago, and this song made me feel those things again. 4 years only feels like it if you pay attention to the days, not when you leave it behind I hope you're well SlyphStorm, and everyone else too. I may no longer be a brony, but dammit were those the days. /)
This is WAAAY better than RF and Awoken! The little RF/A at the end was awesome. We've got 3 major songs 'bout the Rainbow Factory, this one of them has lyrics from both the others :D Also, your voice is perfect, idc if it's been edited, it's still amazing.
WHY IN THE FREAKING WORLD HAVE I *NOT* HEARD THIS WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE UNTIL NOW?!?! THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!!! THE VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTAL, AND THE LYRICS ARE VERY WELL DONE!!!
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it; this song is leagues above the original rainbow factory, and that song is amazing. Basically, what is'm saying is that this song is at least 20% cooler than the original rainbow factory, if you get my joke. I also really love the reprises of two other songs I love at the end, and the last scootaloo part/the second scootaloo part has to be my favorite. The lyrics flow so well, and it doesn't sound off in that odd way rainbow factory did. And even the instrumental parts are gorgeous. I just can't find anything wrong with this song... Also, the intro is really cool, the animation part, I mean, and how it transfers into the picture. It, just like the song, is gorgeous, even though it's only there for a short time. Thank you, thank you so much, for this beautiful piece. I will always hold it near and dear to my heart. Thanks man. Sincerely, Lion.
So, i searched for this because i randomly remembered it existed, and... IT'S BEEN A WHOLE DECADE NOW?! God, time goes fast, but this sounds as great as ever.
animotionification normally I don't, but hen he typed that comment, he should have seen the title of the song right in front of him, and thus shouldn't make this typo.
***** I draw ponies on my computer listening to this! I will do something rainbow factory related next. it will be on my pony channel: *+Rarimena Diane Pie*
Holy shit this feels so weird remembering, I was like 13 or 14 when I first heard this song and have just been gutpunched by 8 years worth of Nostalgia.
Man, after it's been years, I listened to this, got filled with nostalgia, and noticed I didn't get to read "Rainbow Factory", despite it being super popular when I was in elementary lol (I'm 21 now and in college) After reading "Rainbow Factory" and "Pegasus Device", it's feels pretty nice to understand what the lyrics are referencing in those fanfics, hehe Maaaan, if I wasn't lazy and could animate, I would totally make an animatic/animation of this song, this is sick! Along with other old music artists, it was nice listening to your stuff years ago, SlyphStorm, keep up the good work! I know it's been years since you uploaded anything, but I hope you are doing well out there!
Damn I can’t believe I came full circle from fnaf to other songs to rainbow factory (I knew a lot about this creepy pastas back in the day I don’t remember everything I knew just the 2 years I knew that I found out about it 2013-2014) I was once very familiar with a lot of creepy pastas I just never imagined that it would come back full circle
I feel like this song takes place right before "Awoken," as in the death of Scootaloo or something resulted in H8_Seed escaping, as it was the final straw for him. I mean, the last line in the song is "Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control," which is a line directly from Awoken. I'm just theorizing, tho
I think half of Pegasus Device (the first half) is like years after the factory was shut down and they are telling the tales of the Pegasus Device. Then the other half is what you are saying
I like that. I also think that he H8_Seed got the factory shut down and Scootaloo is the one singing at the very end of the song, with intentions of re starting the Pegasus device
Compared to Rainbow Factory (Which WAS good), this is much more clever and better sounding. I mean like, Comparing blood and death to chess is a perfect analogy. You sir deserve a sub and you shall get one :)
You severely undermined how clever Rainbow Factory actually is. Pegasus Device is very clear about what's happening and really tries to nail in to you what's happening. It uses analogies and other techniques to really push this in. It's amazing and clever. But I'd argue Rainbow Factory is the same level of cleverness in a different way, if not, more clever. Rainbow Factory is purposefullly ambiguous. It's unsettling but it doesn't ever outright say anything. It gives descriptions of the factory's false light perceptions "its alluring decor and social psychology" as well as the factory actually being dark "fears and horrors come true," "not a single soul gets through" but it still doesn't actually say what it does or how it achieves this. When the song says "not a single soul gets through" it's super powerful because it intentionally leaves room for interpretation. It manages to achieve super unsettling vibes without telling you what's actually happening and only giving off hints for you to form an idea of what's happening. Everything is up to interpretation and that's what makes the best horror stories. Rainbow Factory is much more clever than you gave it credit for. Ignore the fact I'm extremely late it's just because I still come back to these songs
I haven't. I've only heard the songs, but I understood from fanart that [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS] died. But apparently, she's the one singing this song, and I can't tell if she now works for the factory or what...
iamnotamouseok SPOILERS AHEAD In 'Rainbow Factory' we are lead to believe that Scootaloo dies, but then in pegasus device it turns out she has been living in the factory for 20 years or so, Cloud Cover and Corona then come and free her and Scootaloo helps them to destroy the factory.
***** .. I dunno but I think "murdering weak pegasi." would make more sense. They din't just find 1 rainbow pegasus and throw it in the machine and then be done.
This song has a wise Philosophy, and its RIght. "All the Failures Got the fuel of Sucess, on a Bloody viseral wheather game of chess" Its like our society, the failures help the sucess for other people
You failed to type properly. So whose success is that fuelling? No-one's. You're just an idiot who apparently doesn't understand philosophy, or spelling.

For those wondering what "Absentia" means ~ ~ Absentia is Latin for absence. In absentia, a legal term, is Latin for "in the absence" or "while absent".(In) absentia may also refer to:

◾Excommunication in absentia
◾Graduation in absentia
◾In absentia health care, the provision of healthcare in the absence of a personal contact
◾Trial in absentia

Scootaling Great, I can figure out BPM. I still don't know where on the scale to slap my notes. Is there some super secret way to figure out key?

My mane is purple and my coat is orange
What I've become? I have no idea.
I only know one simple thing
The name they gave me: Absentia
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those little wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device
I don't even recognize your rainbow mane
When you hide it behind that mask of shame
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
You used to be a legend, a righteous mare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond dice
And you send us all to die in your Pegasus Device
I would like to listen, this remix
This is pretty dark
Honestly although all the lyrics ypu wrote here are my favorite lyrics in all of the song they are also quite sad to a degree

How to enjoy this song better:
Step 1.) Insure headphones are plugged in (get a decent pair)
Step 2.) turn volume to the max
Step 3.) Profit.

I followed your directions OW
well I did have a disclaimer....... XD
EDIT: I just thought of something that sounds cheesy and possibly perverse but still makes sense: "I like my songs like race cars, FAST and LOUD"
P.S.- I generally like fast paced songs, esp. electronic ones
Toxilinity Waste In that case, my headphones don't go loud enough.....
I think im deaf x'D
Amber Graves You THINK? Well, if you don't KNOW then it must not be loud enough. XD
It’s late and all but my favorite part is “the luxury of rainbows comes at a price just ignore the screams, and don’t think twice” its dark and shows how people can make you feel afraid of the truth.
Congrats on the views btw. And love your new nightmare night!
“so just ignore the screams, and don’t think twice.”
bro the vocals and harmonization in there SLAPS SO HARD
That synth riff is, if you'll excuse the expression, so... AWESOME!
For me, it evokes a feeling of an ever-advancing doom, like a heartless production line claiming life after life, without even the malice or anger that would at least ground the horror in something understandable. The true horror of a factory setting is the utter, well-oiled efficiency of the process.
Also, it's just pure headbang material.
I like this!

Wait, at the end of the song there was a line that's says, and I quote "now I'm awoken, and taking back control". So in the song awoken, it takes place in scootaloo's head as she regains her sanity and memories and ditches the factory. This story just gets better
Dds
My head: MLP isn’t that great.
My ears: This be banging.
DEADASS ME BEFORE I WAS A BRONY
@@IndyCarFan265💀??..
Dude I was OBSESSED with this song when I was like ten years old lol. It's still a banger honestly, the last few lines gave me chills.
8 years later and this is still a bop
Omg going back after all these years hits so different 😭😭🖤
Slyph, any method to talk to you privately? I wanna talk about a video project I have in mind.
Certainly! I sent you a PM.
This sounds like its going to be good!
Man you guys read my mind. I was going to say Yesterday that Slyph should have made an animation with song. its so good I cant get it out of my head.
Awww sh1t son.
This is gonna be great. Can't wait.
Deep in the pages of history
Lies a shadow hiding in a mystery
A late night story buried far away
Until it once again sees the light of day
And when the little colts and fillies turn out all lights
And tell a story of a factory as black as night
The luxury of rainbows comes at a price
Just ignore the screams, and don't think twice
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device
Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility
A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility
The souls of many innocent fill the air
And the hope that they all died with scattered here and there
A mighty machine built within the wake
Of a long dead dream, little demon awake
The citizens sleep, never quite knowing when
The device will reawaken, hungry again
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device
I don't even remember my past
I don't remember who I used to be
I don't even remember my friends of old
I don't remember my destiny
My mane is purple and my coat is orange
What I've become? I have no idea.
I only know one simple thing
The name they gave me: Absentia
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those little wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price
Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device
I don't even recognize your rainbow mane
When you hide it behind that mask of shame
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
You used to be a legend, a righteous mare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
And then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond dice
And you send us all to die in your Pegasus Device
In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true
In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through
In the Rainbow Factory, where failures pay their toll
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those little wings you bear.
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessThat you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those little wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessThat you're not fit to fly like a Pegasus
You don't even deserve those little wings you bear
When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the bloody and visceral weather game of Chess
Happy 10 Years!

How have i not heard of you before now holy shit
I'm not one to watch MLP:FIM, but I always love hearing these fan-made songs.
Good to hear that even though you might not be a fan, you are still willing to open yourself up to something new and not give it flak without even listening to it experiencing it
Yeah. It's not that I hate the show, I kinda have a love/hate relationship with it. Love to mock it, hate to hear hate on it.
+Logan Estes (Modiety Minion, Owl King) Hell, I'm one of the most die-hard fans, and I love to poke fun at it here and there, pick apart the lore and such, but when I see it get flak, the fans get flak from uneducated haters, that's when I get mad
Exactly! Becuase they think it's a "Girls Show" -Which my opinion is that is is TOTALLY was intended to be- they think they can rip the fans that aren't female apart!
+Logan Estes (Modiety Minion, Owl King) I'm just sticking with my belief that they are insecure and uneducated, so that's the only thing that makes them feel good...
This song has been deemed acceptable by the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation. Continue as you were, employee.
SlyphSt0rm deserves more subscribers. Who agrees?
Yup
Aye and aye
Funny because this is playing on Mp3 right now
Shadow Spector Ja
I agree☹️
Been listening to this song for a while now. Can't stop. xD
Don't say that, It makes me hope you'd cover it or something of that nature!
And my heart could not handle that awesomeness! :3c
hear hear

Anyone still here?
Yo
Yes, brother
Long time no see
Never left
Howdy!
Whoever comes here in 2020 is a legend

Edit again: now 2022 XD How time flies :’D
Edit once again: 2023 now!!! Wow.
2020 is the worst!!
Im a legend :D
Jacqueline Tschiersch yes😔😔

I was a brony back in 2014, and just discovered this song (again)
4:20-4:30 rainbow factory song NAILED the ending
4:20-4:38 rainbow factory song NAILED the ending
Joshua Stewart Yeah, yeah.
PFFF-
Aw man I'm getting nostalgic just listening to this man it's been so long yet it feels like I just heard it yesterday man time flies
I think this is probably my favourite Brony song at the moment. I was never a huge fan of the concept behind the Rainbow Factory, but I can't deny that the songs Glaze and H8_Seed created about it were spectacular pieces of music, and this is just about the best addition to complete the Rainbow Factory music trilogy anyone could ask for =D
You did a brilliant job SlyphStorm! Easily one of the best songs in the past year =D Keep up the great work!
Trilogy? I know of Awoken and the original Rainbow Factory, but what's the third?
marioland3000 Oh, my bad. What I meant was that this song is part of the Trilogy =P And a really fitting 3rd part to the trilogy at that.
FritzyBeat That it really is. I never really did like the original Rainbow Factory (something about it just didn't sit right with me, although I have yet to find what that was to this day), but I've enjoyed Awoken, and now I'm enjoying this even more. By far the best of the three.
I like the fact that, despite being made in 2013, this song fits well as a sort of G5 version of the original Rainbow Factory.
Oh god, that was fantastic. Sounds somewhere between Rainbow Factory and Awoken
Read the fanfic of pegasus device, it is the REAL ending of rainbow factory.
Congrats on Top spot for Everfree 2013 List!!
It's been so long. I used to listen to this on repeat. I wanted inspiration for a dark rap for Halloween and remembered this gem, but after 4 years I forgot how perfect it is. And when it got to the rainbow factory and awoken references I started tearing up. It was an overwhelming flood of memories, of the fanfics, the songs, the days where I'd watch MLP with my old HighSchool friends, and most importantly being a part of a community. Now it all feels like another life ago, and this song made me feel those things again. 4 years only feels like it if you pay attention to the days, not when you leave it behind I hope you're well SlyphStorm, and everyone else too. I may no longer be a brony, but dammit were those the days. /)
I have been listening to this non-stop since 3 hours ago
This is WAAAY better than RF and Awoken!
The little RF/A at the end was awesome. We've got 3 major songs 'bout the Rainbow Factory, this one of them has lyrics from both the others :D
Also, your voice is perfect, idc if it's been edited, it's still amazing.
awesome pic
james haggerty Thanks :D I wish I'd've made it xD
you're welcome
WHY IN THE FREAKING WORLD HAVE I *NOT* HEARD THIS WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE UNTIL NOW?!?! THIS SOUNDS AMAZING!!! THE VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTAL, AND THE LYRICS ARE VERY WELL DONE!!!
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it; this song is leagues above the original rainbow factory, and that song is amazing. Basically, what is'm saying is that this song is at least 20% cooler than the original rainbow factory, if you get my joke. I also really love the reprises of two other songs I love at the end, and the last scootaloo part/the second scootaloo part has to be my favorite. The lyrics flow so well, and it doesn't sound off in that odd way rainbow factory did. And even the instrumental parts are gorgeous. I just can't find anything wrong with this song... Also, the intro is really cool, the animation part, I mean, and how it transfers into the picture. It, just like the song, is gorgeous, even though it's only there for a short time. Thank you, thank you so much, for this beautiful piece. I will always hold it near and dear to my heart. Thanks man. Sincerely, Lion.
So, i searched for this because i randomly remembered it existed, and... IT'S BEEN A WHOLE DECADE NOW?! God, time goes fast, but this sounds as great as ever.
Wow! Very nice! I like this a lot!
ABluSkittle =O hey!
Hi BluSkittle!

Hi BluSkittle!
***** *slices chain * I HAVE BROKE THE CHAIN
After finishing readig Pegasus Devise, the song got a new meaning, a sad and scary one.
*device (seriously tough. how can you spell that wrong while the words "Pegasus Device" are clearly right in front of you?)
Quentin Oomen Typos? Seriously, who cares?
animotionification normally I don't, but hen he typed that comment, he should have seen the title of the song right in front of him, and thus shouldn't make this typo.
The S and C keys are quite close to one another. He might have just been lazy and not bothered to go back and fix it.
animotionification yeah, probably he's just lazy
The kids that watched the last season of mlp will never have an edgy MLP phase
Exactly dude I was 12 years old when I started watching MLP and joined the fandom and listening to fan made music made me feel nostalgic about it!
@@robertcisneros2303 literally forgot about this comment but damn 12 years old watching MLP, you seemed like a cool kid
I started watching the show just when season 7 ended.
Nice to see this song has aged so well.
This takes the cake!
An excellent addition to the saga =)
You make some neat stuff, so I'll make sure to stick around.
"My mane is purple and my coat is orange"

S-Scootaloo!?
I still keep finding myself coming back to listen to this again, even during class
Same here
***** I draw ponies on my computer listening to this! I will do something rainbow factory related next. it will be on my pony channel: *+Rarimena Diane Pie*
This is the single most influential piece of media on my entire life.
Holy shit this feels so weird remembering, I was like 13 or 14 when I first heard this song and have just been gutpunched by 8 years worth of Nostalgia.
TH-cam algorithm repping the classics tonight, love to see it.
This song still goes as hard as it did seven years ago /)
Man, after it's been years, I listened to this, got filled with nostalgia, and noticed I didn't get to read "Rainbow Factory", despite it being super popular when I was in elementary lol (I'm 21 now and in college)
After reading "Rainbow Factory" and "Pegasus Device", it's feels pretty nice to understand what the lyrics are referencing in those fanfics, hehe
Maaaan, if I wasn't lazy and could animate, I would totally make an animatic/animation of this song, this is sick! Along with other old music artists, it was nice listening to your stuff years ago, SlyphStorm, keep up the good work! I know it's been years since you uploaded anything, but I hope you are doing well out there!
I haven’t read it yet but I’m interested now, I also like this song better than the original Rainbow Factory :P
The last time he says "pegasus device" *_ALWAYS_* sends chills down my spine
ok but
why does that pony look like they're about to get eaten by a future titan shifter
Good question, unsure
Damn I can’t believe I came full circle from fnaf to other songs to rainbow factory (I knew a lot about this creepy pastas back in the day I don’t remember everything I knew just the 2 years I knew that I found out about it 2013-2014) I was once very familiar with a lot of creepy pastas I just never imagined that it would come back full circle
My neck hurts from headbanging to this.
I feel like this song takes place right before "Awoken," as in the death of Scootaloo or something resulted in H8_Seed escaping, as it was the final straw for him. I mean, the last line in the song is "Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control," which is a line directly from Awoken. I'm just theorizing, tho
I think half of Pegasus Device (the first half) is like years after the factory was shut down and they are telling the tales of the Pegasus Device. Then the other half is what you are saying
There is a fanfic called "Pegasus Device". Scutaloo didn't die. She lost her memories and was named Absentia.
Алексей Гражданкин Ah, I thought it was something like that. Thanks for explaining that!
I like that. I also think that he H8_Seed got the factory shut down and Scootaloo is the one singing at the very end of the song, with intentions of re starting the Pegasus device
Trinity Gray really? After all the hell she went through, Scoots is willing to do again?! Is it to honor her big sister?
3:31 Wait a second Purple and Orange Somehow Hearing Scootaloo singing about weak Pegasi sounds a bit strange.
Swithing to high freq on 2:20 makes me sobbing, crying of them on high speed on highway.
I enjoy the Rainbow Factory chord changes and melodies you fit in there
*automatically puts phone down and listens while coming up with a pmv* ( I don't do pmvs but I make up my own visuals for it. it's actually fun)
+Lemon Zest I do that whenever I listen to any music, I like it too.
+Frostling 789 XD
i listened to this for 6 whole years, every year on halloween, jesus it never fails to entertain me
oh
for you curious, yes, i still came back this time around. never forgetting :)
Compared to Rainbow Factory (Which WAS good), this is much more clever and better sounding. I mean like, Comparing blood and death to chess is a perfect analogy.
You sir deserve a sub and you shall get one :)
Considering Chess is a game about war, it would make scence that it goes together well
You severely undermined how clever Rainbow Factory actually is.
Pegasus Device is very clear about what's happening and really tries to nail in to you what's happening. It uses analogies and other techniques to really push this in. It's amazing and clever. But I'd argue Rainbow Factory is the same level of cleverness in a different way, if not, more clever.
Rainbow Factory is purposefullly ambiguous. It's unsettling but it doesn't ever outright say anything. It gives descriptions of the factory's false light perceptions "its alluring decor and social psychology" as well as the factory actually being dark "fears and horrors come true," "not a single soul gets through" but it still doesn't actually say what it does or how it achieves this. When the song says "not a single soul gets through" it's super powerful because it intentionally leaves room for interpretation. It manages to achieve super unsettling vibes without telling you what's actually happening and only giving off hints for you to form an idea of what's happening. Everything is up to interpretation and that's what makes the best horror stories. Rainbow Factory is much more clever than you gave it credit for.
Ignore the fact I'm extremely late it's just because I still come back to these songs
Man, it's been awhile since I revisited this song. Still hits hard.
I'm not a Brony, but I can't get enough of some of these songs. This, the original Rainbow Factory, and Prototype and amazing.
I read the lyrics, and when I understood the story behind them, my jaw hit the floor.
We all understand the lyrics by now lol. We all have read Rainbow Factory and Pegasus Device. 😎😏
I haven't. I've only heard the songs, but I understood from fanart that [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS] died. But apparently, she's the one singing this song, and I can't tell if she now works for the factory or what...
iamnotamouseok Scootaloo dies... That's a pretty big spoiler, man. Warn people. :l
iamnotamouseok SPOILERS AHEAD
In 'Rainbow Factory' we are lead to believe that Scootaloo dies, but then in pegasus device it turns out she has been living in the factory for 20 years or so, Cloud Cover and Corona then come and free her and Scootaloo helps them to destroy the factory.
Roseyicywolf
I though everyone knew this. D: I havent even read the fic, and I know it...
Sorry about that!
The unspoken, ironclad rule of the factory: everypony could be a failure.
Onyx_Rex to succeed, you must make others fail, in this cruel world

Congrats on Everfree #1 Slyph!
The rainbow factory: The Apeture Science of the My litte pony universe
so true
I don't think so, Aperture Science was for science, whereas this Rainbow Factory seems to be killing weak or flightless pegasus. :P
***** I dunno, man. When you put it that way, that seems to be exactly Aperture. Killing things for "the greater good". Preeeety much.
Samantha Schuler Aperture Science was good until Glados decided to start killing everyone. The Rainbow Factory was founded on murdering weak pegasus.
***** .. I dunno but I think "murdering weak pegasi." would make more sense. They din't just find 1 rainbow pegasus and throw it in the machine and then be done.
I love this song, especially when I read the MLP fanfics, "Rainbow Factory" and "Pegasus Device". Happy Nightmare Night to you too, SlyphStorm!
Congrats on 5 Mil!
this is a certified hood classic
This song has a wise Philosophy, and its RIght.
