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.

Fed up! Fed up!

The tv is lying to you
and your government too
not to mention your school
treating us like fools
oh pay your tax and bills 
of smoking on the moon
hurry for your fast food
only to change your mood
of all these wars and cries
i dont know how to shoot
oh never under my roof
judgment is coming soon
again im not on time
no more no more wine
to see the children cry
no more no more lies

because of you! im gonna change my life!
and all with you! its gonna be allright!

A New Life

If you need
A hand
I can be
Part of that plan
If you need
A hand then

I’m your man
You know that
I’m your man
I want you to remember that
Cause you
Sometimes forget

I will be
Listening
You tell me
When to come in
Can’t you see
I’m all in
You see because

I’m your man
You know that
I’m your man
I want you to remember that
Cause you
Sometimes forget

Bird on the wing

(K Sutton R Murphy)

My heart beats with yours, falling in love with you. Moondust fills up the sky. My heart beats with yours.

Now there’s no worries between you and I, now that I’m walking away. I feel as free as a bird on the wing, on this winter’s day.

My life will unfold, that much I know is true. Starlight shines through the gloom. My heart beats with yours.

Now that those cold winds have all blown away, now that new flowers have bloomed. I feel I’m flowing away from that pain, chasing a brand-new day.

Sometimes we know, and sometimes we dream, and sometimes we never escape. All that we ask is a key to the door. a back door that leads far away!

Now there’s no worries between you and I, now that I’m walking away. I feel as free as a bird on the wing, on this winter’s day.

Awaken

kolkhorst 2025

l had to tell my friends of my cancer problem, when l was 23 years old.
Years went by. They thought l was tripping...
Now the best shit: l still have it!! Since last summer we know what the deal is about. 
They never checked the lymph system...

 jetzt bin ich seit ewigkeiten endstadium. das kickt extrem. der schilddrüsentumor und das rieseteil auf der halsaorta sind dem grunge vollkommen egal. lch gehe jetzt nochmal jede kolkhorst epoche durch und mache dazu jeweils ein lied. (hier werden es mehr als eins)  hier sind wir im pathologic neighborhood bereich. diese band gab es von 1987-1994. christoph koch: giraffe - alex koch: bass - piet wagner: dr - michael büttner: bass (später) und ich so als nur sänger, da meine arme vom schlagzeugspiel im eimer waren. dieses lied ist im style von damals.
das foto hat andre schuster  am 20.12.1990 in der nordlandhalle lüneburg geschossen. rock gegen rechts. es gab den abend eine bombendrohung und der raum musste geräumt werden. danach ging dann mit uns weiter.

der highpoint war, als die band in lüneburg 1993 mit dritte wahl und ferris mc in der alten FH lüneburg auftrat. damals als trio mit mir am bass.


ich sang dann in weiteren metal bands, die sich unzählig wieder auflösten, wie bushaltestellen quasi. irgendwann reichte mir dieser komplizierte kram und es ging mit einem chord weiter, den ich dann schon selber spielen konnte.
aber das ist dann die nächste geschichte. und es kann sein, dass das material nicht immer lupenrein ist - ich hab schon probleme bei der herstellung. aber es geht noch xD wenn wir diesen song schon 1990 gespielt hätten, wäre die welt wohl eine andere geworden. 
"hinterher ist man immer schlauer", so könnte diese compilation heissen.

rock on!

Are you also a daydreamer?
Wiki says that daydream is a fantasy that a person has while awake.

Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from current external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming . There are various names of this phenomenon including mind wandering, fantasy, spontaneous thoughts, etc. Daydreaming is the term used by Jerome L. Singer whose research programs laid the foundation for nearly all the subsequent research in this area today. The list of terminologies assigned by researchers today puts challenges on identifying the common features of the phenomenon, in this case daydreaming, and on building collective work among researchers.

There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation. Also, the impacts of different types of daydreams are not identical. While some are disruptive and deleterious, others may be beneficial in some way.

Yes, I'm daydreamer. For this track I used acoustic guitar, oboe and clarinet, upright and supplement it with glockenspiel.

Daydream

WHAT DO YOU GET when you take two thirds of Boston 80’s post-punk band Native Tongue, separate, age for 30+ years, combine, throw in some new technology, mix thoroughly and serve? Well, if it’s the guitarist and the drummer we’re talking about, then what you get is Dream of a Man in a Top Hat.

Lee Leffler (guitars, vocals, everything else but drums) and Michael Frackleton (drums, vocals, everything else but guitar) comprise the duo Dream of a Man in a Top Hat. The rehearsal space may now be two separate houses, lyrics aren’t jotted down on scrap paper but typed into a phone, the drums aren’t acoustic but electronic, and you can’t go and see them at the Rat or the Channel. But over the years one thing hasn’t changed: the same uncompromising sensibility can be found in the sounds that come out of these two. As music blogger mp3 hugger so aptly put it: “they have conspired to go about things in the only way they see possible and that means the rest of us have to shape up or ship out.”

In writing about their debut record, the 6 song EP Blunt Instrumentals (released summer of 2020), bloggers and curators described their music as: “cool”, “grooving”, “swaggering”, “psychedelic”, “experimental”, “wild”, “infectious”, “seductive”, “chaotic” and “unique”.

In the summer of 2021 Dream of a Man in a Top Hat expanded beyond instrumentals and added their own unique vocals to a new full-length album, Sudden Return Of DOAMIATH, getting attention from critics, bloggers and playlisters alike. Divide and Conquer music magazine concluded their review with: “Fans of psychedelic music will have a leg up, but this stuff goes far beyond anything I’ve heard in that genre. This is a wild and unique album…”

Dream of a Man in a Top Hat began releasing a series of singles from 2022 through 2023, including Unfamiliar Streets, All Time Is Borrowed Time, Cold Hard Dirt, Eggshell Minefield, Opposite Poles, and Eustace, many of which appeared on their 3-song EP Truthsenser and their compilation album Buzzy Beans.

In a review of the EP’s first single, Like a Fire Engine, Rock Era Magazine said: “In a vintage/futuristic execution, ‘Like a Fire Engine’ combines thrilling elements of Alt-Rock, Post-Punk, Psychedelia, and Rock ‘N’ Roll. All of the ingredients contribute to the theme’s vibe, including the title. These two musicians are pros who know how to transport the listener to their own musical realm…”

The new single, I'm Your Man, will be released everywhere on February 21st, 2025.
