Nice voice in a very natural song full of feeling

Again great track! Great guitars and vocals!

More a storytelling in front of a nice melody. Interesting track.

Muy bonita cancion, cantas muy bien, mucha potencia

Haha i know its a cliche but there’s more stuff- in that song than a Christmas turkey 😉

Pale Ontology

Complaining

A song about loneliness and alienation, about feeling alone in a city full of people
---------------------------------
Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Lifeboats

Buy on BandCamp

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Scum of the Land
Leaving no stones unturned, the song is about the true scum of society. They are ones at the top, the powers that be, those who “prey on the weak and powerless” and “leach upon the fat of the land, in the name of profit and power”. As the saying goes, “The honest man is defeated, and the scum always rises to the top”.
 
The track concludes the album in a dystopian near-future where “earth is nothing but a barren desert of empty fields and famished men”. To the beat of the marching band, onwards humanity goes, treading steadily towards the end…”

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

// About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
Hailed as ‘pioneers of a new form of expression’ through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, released on 26 Feb 2021. Breaking new ground in the way they combine progressive music, poetry, and vision, TCOMAS fills a gap in music by bringing literature, theatre, and history, fusing rock and metal, with poetry performance. Their sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, is due to arrive on July 1, 2022.

Swattin' Flies - Grigg / Butts / Combstead (GBC)

When two people meet with very different backgrounds, cultures, view on life, religion and ressources and they enjoy each others presence - it's Happy Respect. 
Speak freely - No prejudices - only curiosity. That could make the world a better place - more safe. Instead of old old men with old dreams in an old forgotten world. #ruletheworldwithHappyRespect #oldmenshouldstayoldandnotruletheworld #morewomentothetopofpower #HappyRespect

Happy Respect (Instrumental)

New version 2022

Poverty grows. The believes we consciously or unconsciously have and the small and big stories we tell, contribute greatly to this. Today’s meritocratic capitalism is not a naturally given fact of life. It is an ideology that is deeply unjust to people, harmful to the environment and to a great extent fact-free in its logic.

[Rough translation]
IF IT’S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
One plus one equals two
That's the way it always was
Even though the boss says
That nothing stays the same
That more needs to be done with less
Things faster and smarter can
Be done with more quality

If it's too good to be true
Then that is usually the case
If it's too good to be true
If it's too good to be true
Then it’s usually the case
Then it’s usually the case

No one is the same
Neither are our chances
Even though the belief reigns
That you get what you deserve
So that success is a choice
And failure is for losers
And whoever made it counts for ten

If it's too good to be true
Then that is usually the case
If it's too good to be true
If it's too good to be true
Then it’s usually the case
Then it’s usually the case

Everyone competes
Has its own brand
Claims its domain, a part of the market
Everyone calculates
Resilient and self-reliant
Goes for own gain
For the benefit of us all

If it's too good to be true
Then that is usually the case
