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

// Smell of Your Rot
“Smell of Your Rot” is about breaking free from the chains of psychological abuse. The song is told from the point of view of a woman who reconnects with her soul in order to take back control of her sense of self after years of living under the control and oppression of a coercive partner. A symphony of metal guitars and classical strings set the scene for this triumphant moment of liberation — which can be likened to waking up from “a deep restless sleep lasting years and year long”. Finally, she sees everything in the world in a completely different light.

// 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.

Mostly an ambient piece about the beach setting in the visual prompt for the jam.  I stay mostly quiet, but it is, after all, me.

MATRICULA DE HONOR

Con la cátedra en fracasos
en el rumbo de mis pasos
no existía norte o sur
sólo la vaga esperanza
de que el nuevo amor en danza
pasara el test de aptitud

Comenzamos con las clases
impartidas bajo el láser
de conciertos y de pubs
y en algún que otro paseo
entre el cine y El Deseo
entre dos cañas y el jazz.

Estribillo

Entre vaso y beso nuestros labios
ahogaron el miedo a fracasar
y pasamos el test como sabios
disertando en lección magistral.

Entre brisa y brasa nuestros cuerpos
abrieron la puerta a la pasión
que premió todos nuestros esfuerzos
con una matrícula de honor.

----------

Cómo brilla en mi expediente
mi primer sobresaliente
entre tanto desamor
igual que la luna llena
entre nubes de tormenta
que traerán el dolor.

Estribillo

HONORS DEGREE

With the chair of failures
in the direction of my steps
there was no north or south
only the vague hope
that the new love in dance
would pass the aptitude test

We began with the classes
given under the laser
of concerts and pubs
and in some other walk
between the cinema and El Deseo
between two beers and jazz.

Chorus

Between a glass and a kiss our lips
drowned the fear of failure
and we passed the test like wise men
lecturing in a master class.

Between breeze and embers our bodies
opened the door to passion
that rewarded all our efforts
with a full distinction.

----------

How my first outstanding
shines in my record
among so much heartbreak
like the full moon
among storm clouds
that will bring pain.

WITH HONORS

With the chair in failures
in the course of my steps
there was no north or south
just the vague hope
that the new love in dance
pass the aptitude test.

We start with classes
taught under the laser
of concerts and pubs
and on the odd walk
between cinema and desire
between two reeds and jazz.

drowned out the fear of failure
and we passed the test as wise

Between breeze and ember our bodies
they opened the door to passion

Chorus

MATRICULA DE HONOR (VOZ DAZZ DEVA) Ver texto

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
