Top beat and vocals! Funk tastic fella! Love it!

Cool funky track. Excellent mix, production.

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.

Scum of the Land

Here come the man with the badge and the blue gun
He got the bullet
Slow ya down
He got the bullet-time
He got the red
Red light flash
Gotchu on the run
On the ground
Slow it down, got to, got to slow it down

This town mine it's for me a for-me-town
Me ground, my ground, a for-me-ground
Watch yourself, better keep your head down
Better keep your head down
Better keep your head down

My life
My world
I'll let you live for a while
My smile
My life
I'll let you live for a while

Well, I drove my car right into a house
No, that's a tree
Same difference to me
If it's made of wood we're cutting it down
Build a fucking town
Then burn it to the ground

It's an autociety
Everything's for me and me
I'm the center can't you see
It's an autociety

Here comes the chump with the bike and the backpack
Motherfucker buys his gas off the suit rack
You can tell he's a real low-class act
Burn your head down and start again from scratch

We belong to the autociety
We belong to the autociety
We belong

A wiser man once stood on my shoulders
A wiser man once slept in my bed
A wiser man, a wiser man once said

A wiser man once stood on my shoulders
A wiser man once slept in my bed
A wiser man once stood on my shoulders
And said

We belong to the autociety
We belong to the undead
We belong to the autociety
I'm dead

I'm dead
We're dead

A wiser man once stood on my shoulders
A wiser man once slept in my bed
A wiser man
A wiser man once said
I'm dead

We belong to the autociety
We belong to the undead
We belong to the autociety
I'm dead
We're dead

We belong to the autociety
We belong to the undead
We belong to the autociety
We're dead

I'm dead
We're dead

We belong to the autociety
We belong to the undead
We belong to the autociety
I'm dead

40 years ago, I dreamed of creating music but lacked the tools to finish my songs. This summer, I rediscovered old audio tapes of my unfinished work, digitized them, and used music AI Tools to bring them to life. Now, many songs later, AI has realized the dream I had as a young artist. I create, and AI brings it to reality. 🎶✨
