The primary critique I have gotten on this track is that it needs a second verse. I agree with you guys! I just now wrote and recorded Verse 2, which will be on the album once it hits iTunes. :-) Thanks for the critiques guys! ~Gryph (Gabe)
Well, that's damn awesome. I was thinking the same thing, but the first verse sounded good enough that I didn't have much issues with it. It's like Anonymous from Three Days Grace. It's a tad lazy... but the song's just so damn good. Kudos for listening to critique and following through with it. Shows commitment, care, and professionalism.
We're pleased to announce that the new version of this song (with a second verse) is now available on BandCamp, along with our entire new album: IMmortal! blackgryph0n.bandcamp.com/track/academy-2
I just listened to it, and the second verse really adds to the song. Strangely, though, what I really liked was the variation on the chorus immediately following it. It's empowering, showing a change in mindset from "I need to do it" to "I will do it." Soon as I get the album, this is going on my workout track.
EditDeath Personally I just can't get on with that second verse, but that is the beauty of still having the single version for those of us who prefer it.
Dude, can you tell me what rank you are? Cuz if I remember correctly you're in the military. That's what ticks me off about people calling bronies fags. I really don't care bout me but military bronies and other important people helping people like doctors, ambulance drivers, goverment officials and other jobs that bronies do. It ticks me off when THEY get insulted.
BlackGryph0n actually responds to comments and was super friendly at Bronycon gave $20 extra for an album and they were so nice and took photos. Seriously, you gotta love an artist who interacts with fans!
I love the way that this song just intrigues you with the music in the beginning and end of the song. Seriously, continue doing this! I love your music!
*I went down to BronyPalooza 2017 at BronyCon yesterday in the middle of your set with Michelle Creber. When this song played, I was in love with it. Your set was AWESOME Gabe! Keep it up! Your work is amazing!*
sim as long as you believe you can do even better we all love your music,i even have your raise this barn remix on osu! sadly i couldnt find any other songs of your on it
Every one of your songs blows me away. Seriously, this is professional level stuff here. Amazing job once again :D Also, congrats on graduating the Naval Academy! I live in a Navy town so thats awesome
Best one yet, so many beautiful elements come together to make this song amazing. I also love how you guys try out different genres of music each and every time.
Gabe, Michelle... you are not priviledged. You and your families deserve every single bit of what you have. God bless, was awesome to see you in person.
Its funny, I come back here a lot to workout to your pony music. I remember when you only had a few thousand subscribers...now look at you! Every time I return that number just keeps on growing! Almost to 4 MILLION subs! Congrats man!
This song is amazing. That goes without saying. What's truly amazing is Baasik's achievement of graduating from Annapolis. Congrats to him, and I'm sure he'll do great things in the Navy! Thank you both for your services, for both the fandom and our country. Keep up the good work!
Baasik absolutely KILLED this track. I loved when he brought those big synths in the buildup towards the end. This is going to be one amazing album! Keep up the good work guys!
Everytime I see music from you guys in my subscriptions it just puts a huge smile on my face! Thank you so much for the amazing music and for sharing your gifts!
This song is nothing but super-awestastic-extreme-mazing, in all sense of the word. Every beat, every word, every tone fits perfectly intp one badass song that makes a grand statement and a even bolder conviction. Kudos to you and your brother BlackGryphon........this is truly a masterpiece!!!
I reeealllly like that lower voice!! Holy derp, I hope we see more lower key from you!!! Edit: Second time listening, I can't get over this lower voice!!!!! it's so AMAZING gaaah!!
Very good. And congrats to Baasik on graduating from Annapolis, very impresive. The F-35 is a sexy piece of hardware, I wish him good travels and you as well Gryph0n.
This song, like all your others, is amazing! I love the degree of variation you include, with this song in particular. Each song has a unique quality that makes it more AWSOME than the last!!!
Since when does this dude has 3.5 million subscribers? I thought he was underground even for the brony fanbase. I guess I learn something new every day. Great song, feels good to listen to this again.
I just finished reading through the description and you are welcome. Glad to be called the good friend, haha. I laughed when you said 'thanks for reading through all this crap'😂😂😂 it wasn't crap, really! I like reading descriptions, and the great descriptions always makes me laugh and smile. This is one those.😃
My brother's going to army training real soon and this song hits me straight on the feels because of it. But it reminds me that as long as I still have hope he'll be OK.
Why am I only just now discovering these amazing people?! Then again that is the major flaw of the internet, so much stuff that it is very easy to miss some things. But this should not be missed! Amazing music and awesome singing, keep it up!
God i'm so jealous of you and your brother you're both so talented and being a pilot has been my dream since i was a kid. F-35's too that's insanely badass!
Oh my gosh, it never even occurred to me that this song was about the wonderbolts...! I was just looking for good music to add to my Police academy playlist and this so g came on and I thought, “oh cool, this one works out pretty well.” Now reading the description it’s cooler on a whole ‘nother level!
My friends at school hate mlp but love your music. They are always asking me when a new song comes out. I told them you where a brony and they now like mlp. We all are so exited for IMortal!

Well, that's damn awesome. I was thinking the same thing, but the first verse sounded good enough that I didn't have much issues with it. It's like Anonymous from Three Days Grace. It's a tad lazy... but the song's just so damn good.
Kudos for listening to critique and following through with it. Shows commitment, care, and professionalism.
Only ITunes I was hoping you could make em for Google play too if you could that would be awesome
It's good that you pay attention to your fans.
Black Gryph0n can you sing a beatles song with michelle creber?

Definitely gives the song a sense of morals and working hard to achieve something. LOVE IT!

I guess you could say your brother is headed off to...
*puts on glasses*
...Baasik Training.
*YEEEEEEEEAAAAaaaaaaah*
Logan Reed ...I have no idea whether you're trolling or didn't understand a simple pun.
AubriGryphon just trollin man
You sir have won the internet. Everyone else can just stop trying.
Rambo "Pork Chops" Dash HEAR HIM OUT BRONY HATERS! and kids on call of duty.
You gave my thoughts cancer, not my brain, my actual thoughts.
Oh dear lord. I hope you two never stop making music.
Probably one of the best workout songs ever, a fitting title too.
+1 For calling a workout song ;P
(Can't do an actual +1 on my phone)
+James Hogge google +
Damn.. You're brother will be flying $125m dollar aircraft.. That's dope. Wish him all the best! Ain't easy being a pilot!
You're tellin' me!
I love the way that this song just intrigues you with the music in the beginning and end of the song. Seriously, continue doing this! I love your music!
This is epic
Thanks man! :-D
Michael G. S. I've always had a special place in my heart for awoken, I'd put that song above all. "Are we there yet" is still awesome as hell though.
***** yeah
GOD I Love this song!!
me too
Y'ever love running back though older videos and finding your old comments? Did that recently and it's fun. Comment still stands too, doesn't it?
*I went down to BronyPalooza 2017 at BronyCon yesterday in the middle of your set with Michelle Creber. When this song played, I was in love with it. Your set was AWESOME Gabe! Keep it up! Your work is amazing!*
Awesome song you two! Can't wait to see what other songs you guys have left in the album.
mrjesparza Oo? Fancy seeing you here!
If only i was as good ;_;
You are good, in your own way, at least you can sing and play, when I open my mouth only white noise comes out
your good too you butt :#
i love your music, especially the colabs with female singers ^^
sim as long as you believe you can do even better we all love your music,i even have your raise this barn remix on osu! sadly i couldnt find any other songs of your on it
imho Black Gryphon is unreached in the musician way. But Sim is sureley very good at her music.
Cmon Sim! You rock too!
Love the dogtags on the Wonderbolt uniform. Nice touch.
Dear Gabe,
I'v been a huge fan- of ALL of the work you have done. But I have to say- something about this, really fits. Good job. I hope to see more.
Awesome song, I just graduated from Parris Island (Leaving for MCT in 12 hours) every muscle aches is defiantly how you feel when lights hits.
Every one of your songs blows me away. Seriously, this is professional level stuff here. Amazing job once again :D
Also, congrats on graduating the Naval Academy! I live in a Navy town so thats awesome
Best one yet, so many beautiful elements come together to make this song amazing.
I also love how you guys try out different genres of music each and every time.
This is *beyond* awesome.
What's that sound at 0:00? Did you clear your throat at the very beginning?
Golurk yeah.... He did
Maria ShadowBlood Easter Egg Maybe?
A unique song for two unique artists
*tears*
Thank you for giving me this absurdly high dose of *awesomeness*. Both of you.
Wow, that throat clear at the beginning. It's reassuring, actually. It lets us know (reminds us) that you aren't just a music god, far, far away.
Active-duty Navy SWO here. Love the song. The service has, and will be, enriched because of folks like you two.
Gabe, Michelle... you are not priviledged. You and your families deserve every single bit of what you have. God bless, was awesome to see you in person.
Its funny, I come back here a lot to workout to your pony music. I remember when you only had a few thousand subscribers...now look at you! Every time I return that number just keeps on growing! Almost to 4 MILLION subs! Congrats man!
Oh my... bass drop :D
Ouch (:!
D-d-d-d-d-d-drop the base! :D
How's Angel doing?
Kyle Adkins Being as kind as an angel as always of course
So a sassy and stubborn bunny who won't eat his salad but demands a delux Carrot Cake Sunday is now as "kind as an angel" now?
This song is amazing. That goes without saying. What's truly amazing is Baasik's achievement of graduating from Annapolis. Congrats to him, and I'm sure he'll do great things in the Navy!
Thank you both for your services, for both the fandom and our country. Keep up the good work!
Very great song guys. Love your voice. Thank you so much for serving our country :)
I am hoping to go to the army as well soon.
Dude, this is AWESOME! It has such a great beat, and I love it! I cant wait till the album comes out, man. I'm definitely buying it!
You guys are seriously at a pro level lately, keep up the good work :-)
This song feels like it would be right at home as an anime opening credits song and in a running playlist.
Carry on being awesome you two.
Holyshit, he's going to fly the F-35C? That's SO cool!
Why do you keep becoming better and better!?
It's called learning and experience. Do something long enough and you'll become good at it

Everytime I see music from you guys in my subscriptions it just puts a huge smile on my face! Thank you so much for the amazing music and for sharing your gifts!
Can't believe it took me this long to find this song! It shakes my car more than anything else I've played in it.
makes me sad that most of the top comments are from 6 years ago. like, damn. it's really been this long
I know. I feel so old.
It's been even longer now...
Dont worry, people are still listening.
i gotta show rainbow dash this-
'cause SHE'S GONNA LOVE THIS! :DDDD
I'm not a brony and I still enjoyed this song. It gives me a faith that one day I can be more fit then I am now.
Absolutly perfect! So much in RD style... My favorite brony... No, just my favorite song at all from now.
Hooah! This has to be my new favorite song from you guys! Welcome to the service Baasik! Best of luck to you in flight school, make us all proud!
My goodness. This shall now be my new favorite song. Why are you guys so awesome in everything?!?!: D
All of your songs sound like something you'd hear on the radio they're that good.
You are one of those artists that every song you upload I love. It's an undisputed fact!
This song is nothing but super-awestastic-extreme-mazing, in all sense of the word. Every beat, every word, every tone fits perfectly intp one badass song that makes a grand statement and a even bolder conviction. Kudos to you and your brother BlackGryphon........this is truly a masterpiece!!!
F-35s? Shit man, those some sweet stealth jets.
SHOUT OUT... This song was friggin awesome at Bronycon 2016! Never danced so hard in my life! Great show man!!!
Baasik, Black Gryph0n, keep up the great work! You are doing so great with this track! Can't wait for the next songs!
Love these songs so much
the first second of the video i heard a"ehem" LOL
I reeealllly like that lower voice!! Holy derp, I hope we see more lower key from you!!!
Edit: Second time listening, I can't get over this lower voice!!!!! it's so AMAZING gaaah!!
Oh, hey. Just noticed that the TweetIt song is on the IMmortal playlist. Unless I'm incorrect, that's not a part of the album, right?
Enjoying this song a lot ^.^
Keep doing what you love to do guys
Another great work of art. Can't wait to buy the full album.
Now topping in at number 1 for brony songs of may 2014, once again it's... Black Gryph0n!
Very good. And congrats to Baasik on graduating from Annapolis, very impresive. The F-35 is a sexy piece of hardware, I wish him good travels and you as well Gryph0n.
Absolutely amazing
That voice though! Gives me shivers listening!
A wonderbolts song?!? AWWWEEEESOOOOME
That must be in the radio every morning ,oh no every time!!
This is amazing, good balance of bass and treble, especially with good speakers, headphones.
This song, like all your others, is amazing! I love the degree of variation you include, with this song in particular. Each song has a unique quality that makes it more AWSOME than the last!!!
Love the track man. You never fail to impress really can't wait for the album to be released :)
Yay! It's back! :)
Seriously, you are the most amazing duo that I ever heard. I'm going to buy your album for sure
That is awesome. Makes me even more pumped to start going to my last year of high school and start college.
Awesome song! It's gets me pumped up and motivated.
I can't wait for the full album to come out!
This song describes your career. Each release gets better than the last
Since when does this dude has 3.5 million subscribers? I thought he was underground even for the brony fanbase.
I guess I learn something new every day. Great song, feels good to listen to this again.
I just finished reading through the description and you are welcome.
Glad to be called the good friend, haha.
I laughed when you said 'thanks for reading through all this crap'😂😂😂 it wasn't crap, really! I like reading descriptions, and the great descriptions always makes me laugh and smile.
This is one those.😃
My brother's going to army training real soon and this song hits me straight on the feels because of it. But it reminds me that as long as I still have hope he'll be OK.
DANG IT! I thought 4EverfreeBrony had a shot at the #1 slot this month. And then you go and do THIS! BlackGryph0n and Baasik... y u so good?
Why am I only just now discovering these amazing people?! Then again that is the major flaw of the internet, so much stuff that it is very easy to miss some things. But this should not be missed! Amazing music and awesome singing, keep it up!
You should sing like this more often Gryph0n. I freaking love this so much!
Enlisted nuke here going to the naval academy this june and this song really hits home for me. Thank you!
I seriously cannot wait for this album. When it comes up on itunes, I WILL be buying it.
Congrats to Nate, and fantastic work on this song!
Gabe, This is amazing!!! It's hard to believe you haven't won tons of grammy's XP
Every time a new IMmortal track comes out I get so fricking amped up for the album all over again. D;
Is it just me or is your singing voice getting better and better with every song! Seriously these need to be on radio!
Thanks! :-D I don't think my voice is getting any better, I just use a slightly different style for each song. :-P
***** Well I certainly think you are improving as you go. Keep up the good work man!
You guys did it again, I love it. I always show both videos some love because why not. You both are great and I hope to hear more from you guys.
I love this song! The base is amazing, and beautiful! It's HEAVEN!!! And, my earbuds make it sound almost echoey and loud, and I love it!! X3
8 years ago I used this song to start my journey into parkour, now 8 years later I'm gonna use it again but for my gym workout
The singing in this song reminds me of Daughtry somewhat. Very excellent stuff!
AWESOME
flash sentry Can I talk to you?
Ima Agha kk?
What's with TwilightSparkle Fan and you? Everyone is ganging up on you...why? flash sentry
Because its... weird
Liam Roder Please...don't interject..
Amazing as all ways lol. Cant wait to hear more from you guys.
And the rest of the song. Amazing!
The non-vocal parts remind me of the music in PAYDAY 2. That makes this even more awesome.
God i'm so jealous of you and your brother you're both so talented and being a pilot has been my dream since i was a kid. F-35's too that's insanely badass!
Oh gosh. Love this. Another great Colab!
I've listened to this a bunch of times and only now did I notice him clearing his throat at the very start.
I gasp every time I see you upload. Awesome song
Oh my gosh, it never even occurred to me that this song was about the wonderbolts...! I was just looking for good music to add to my Police academy playlist and this so g came on and I thought, “oh cool, this one works out pretty well.” Now reading the description it’s cooler on a whole ‘nother level!
This will make a fine addition to my workout playlist, amazing song
Using this for my workouts! So much motivation! Keep up the good work, I love your guys' music! Bravo Zulu!
And Semper Fortis back atcha, BG. Thanks for persevering and living Fuasticorn's decree to create :)
