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.

Smell of Your Rot

Track 187 - A slow buildup into a faster and more intricate formula.

Infused

Spellcaster

lucky to be 

talking about the cold cold wet winter    		
La Nina is promising to bring us this year   		
You say you don’t like wasting time on such small talk 	
But the weather keeps changing in such big big ways   	
And can you deny the size of those waves  		
Can not deny the size of these waves			

We’re shopping at Big Lots store closing sale
We’re looking for bargains on bargains on bargains
Its so much better than the zoo at the wallyworld
You won’t ever find me there on black Friday
But can you deny the size of those savings
You can not deny the size of those savings

We walked to MacDuff’s for a couple of beers 
We sat in the back while the band set up their gear
We snuck out the side door when they started to play
strolled home hand in hand under the moon in the sky
and can you deny the size of that satellite
I can not deny the size of that satellite
you can not deny
aren’t we 
Aren’t we so lucky to be 

I’m holding you tight under the covers
Here in my arms where you’re cozy and warm
And it doesn’t matter if it’s stormy outside
Here in my arms you can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you

Talking about the cold cold wet weather
La Nina is promising to bring us thing year 
You say you don’t mind the cold dark wet days
As long as together we can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny
Aren’t we 
aren’t we so lucky to be
Yes we’re so lucky to be

Lucky to Be

"Dreaming Too Long" By Edge Of The Void

Rode out at dawn, dust on my heels 
Chasing’ the sun through the whispering fields 
The wind hums a song that I swear I recall 
But I don't know when, or if at all

Saw an old man by the river bend 
He said, Son, ain't you tired of pretending again?
I laughed but his eyes, they cut me so deep 
Like he knew something I lost in my sleep

Maybe the moonlight’s the only real flame 
Maybe the stars keep calling my name 
If the night feels more real than the ground I stand on 
Then tell me, my love, have I been dreaming too long?

Stopped at a church with no name on the door 
Candles still burn though no one's here no more 
A voice in the rafters, it whispered to me, 
You're only awake in the places unseen.

When I close my eyes, I ride through the plains 
With ghosts of my past calling out through the rain 
They tell me, Boy, this ain't where you belong
So I open my eyes... and the dream is all gone

Maybe the fire’s the only real glow 
Maybe the rivers know more than we know 
If the night feels more real than the ground I stand on 
Then tell me, my love, have I been dreaming too long?

The road rolls on, dust in my wake 
A dreamer who’s never quite sure if he's awake 
But if I fade into the echo of song... 
Maybe that means I was dreaming all along

Dreaming Too Long

Bonegrind Anthem

[Verse 1]  
The stars are yawning in the sky  
The moon is peeking, way up high  
And little Cassie snuggles tight  
Wrapped in dreams and soft moonlight  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Verse 2]  
Soft toy tucked in by your side  
Whispers float like lullaby tides  
Mama’s song still in the air  
And Daddy’s hugs are everywhere  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Bridge]  
You are the twinkle in our days  
The giggle that never fades away  
So dream your dreams, so big and bright  
Grandpa’s here all through the night  

[Final Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Outro]  
Let the nighttime glow...  
Goodnight, Cassie.

My Sweet Cassie
