The young have their dreams intact
The old feel they’re done
The rich go and buy the world
The poor feel their pawns

The black man has no faith in law
The white man trusts it so
These are the days
When we ride high and low

This is life and its found
In each corner of this world 
As it spins round and round
This is life and it flows
Like a river that’s flowing where nobody knows

These folks are the chosen ones
These folks are not
This woman calls freedom home
This one’s locked up

This family grieves a loss of life
This family gives birth
This family’s star is bright
This one feels no worth 

Chorus…

Sometimes I feel that this balance is fair
It’s one of those grand scheming things
Who are the haves and who are the have nots
Who are the caught in betweens

I stare at my drink 
as the room spins around
The bar girl she calls my name
A sweet distant sound

These are the days when 
I think long and hard
My refuge from sunlight
In this dank smoky bar

This is life…

This Is Life

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

// Human Sacrifice
Blending Thrash Metal with Vedic chants and elements of Indian Classical music,  the lyrics draw from an array of ancient and colonial texts, such as the Mayan Codices and Biblical texts, where descriptions of human sacrifice rituals can be found. The track revisits the practice of human sacrifice rituals of the past in order to shed light on modern practices of human sacrifice that still exist today.

// 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.

Melodies & Heartbreak

Destroy me

PATIENCE

Hung up

@heavensnight0

what you want? what you need?
I’ll let you catch up 2 speed
try not 2 get cut 2 deep
count my shit like 1,2,3

what you need?

hauling dirt
homicidal thoughts, I damn near bought a hearse
stall the clerks
gone before they call the jerks
call a nurse
all disperse, right up off this earth
they at a loss for words
press the gas & wreck for all it’s worth
I crash shit off the curb

how’s it hanging?
Christ straight out the manger, not your savior
off the pavement, noggins bounce like rain
you on my doppler radar
doppelgangers
on em drop an anchor
I go boston strangler
bottle anger, I don’t talk 2 strangers
my hoes dominatrix

all these baphomet dreams
rock like Bad Luck 13
need a sucker bitch 2 bust some scripts for cash up my sleeve
all this blasphemy puzzling & baffling me
do the math for me, something just don’t add up 2 me

filling cavities
sinking shit like dracula teeth
bet there’s ash on me when you hear my dragula screech
they just crash dummies
fuck around get wrapped underneath
just some Casualties
get your dumb punk ass put 2 sleep
put you deep

dopeman (hn)

KEEP OUT

Only getting better
It's Hip Hop If I Said IT Is.
