Metal

The bells ring through the town
The call for justice swift
Reason going down 
Compassion is a myth
And when the time has finally come
For rats and naming names
There’s never any question
Of who they want to blame 

Confidence like they’re deputized forces
Here come the mob with 
pitchforks and torches

They want a sacrifice 
A human sacrifice 

And As the anger grows
The crowd has lost control
How it stops no one knows
The only thing we’re sure about is
Heads will roll

In alleys they conspire
Deception weaves its thread
The noose grows ever tighter
As truth lies cold and dead
We search for hope in ashes
Yet darkness whispers still
In corridors of power
The innocent are killed

Confidence like they’re deputized forces
Here come the mob with 
pitchforks and torches

They want a sacrifice 
A human sacrifice 

And As the anger grows
The crowd has lost control
How it stops no one knows
The only thing we’re sure about is
Heads will roll

Stone Breakers

Uwe Barschel (* 13.05.1944, † 11.10.1987) was a German politician of the CDU. He was Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein from 1982 to 1987 after serving as a state minister. After a scandal that arose during the 1987 state election campaign, which caused a sensation as the Barschel affair, led him to resign, he was found dead in the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva on October 11, 1987. The circumstances of Barschel's death are still disputed today.

(Barschel was charismatic, eloquent and struck a pleasantly moderate tone for a CDU politician. And at 38 he was the youngest head of government of a German state at the time. 
Fun fact: Barschel received the Bambi media award in 1986)

A raw edit and a WIP imo but if you think it's cool the way it is let me know! 

Embaumé au Miel

Sure, you can get wasted and have fun sometimes – but the real challenges of life can only be won when you’re sober and clear.

Sober

The hall had long been silent.
Dust drifted through still air, glinting in the dim gold of forgotten chandeliers.
Rows of empty seats stared back like hollow eyes, yet she stood before them anyway — motionless, listening.

Something stirred beneath the quiet.
Not sound, not yet — but the weight of it, waiting to be born.
It pressed against the edges of her thoughts, a pulse in the air that made her skin hum.

She reached for her instrument, not to play, but to prepare — to feel the moment gather like breath before a confession.
The world seemed to lean closer, listening for her first note.

And though she did not yet play, she knew:
the silence was ending.

Prologue: The Empty Stage

Beyond the Void

Carnival of Flesh

From the birth
To the earth
Break the curse 
Break the curse
Break
Break
break the curse
Break the curse

From the birth to the earth
Break the curse
Restore connection
Bring forth the message
From the birth to the earth
Break the curse
Restore connection
Bring forth the message
Break the curse 
May the truth guide my blade
I die in battle I fight
May the truth guide my blade
I die in battle I fight

Break the curse 
Break the curse 


Break the Curse

Caelum Spectat Malum

An intense and atmospheric instrumental dive where silence weighs as heavily as sound. Each layer breathes tension and reflection — a journey into the beautiful discomfort of emptiness.

The Stifling Nothing

Rage

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
"Love In The Time Of Pestilence"
Music Composition: Andrea Papi
Lyrics & Vocals: Daphne Ang

‘Love in the Time of Pestilence’ is an experimental metal track that reflects upon the events of the ongoing pandemic and global crisis. Composed and recorded during the outbreak of the first wave of Covid-19 in Europe, the amplitude waveform view of this track, with its peaks and troughs, is in itself a visualisation of the evolution and progression of the pandemic over the course of the year 2020.

The spoken lyrics combine original writings with historical quotes in order to remind humanity that if we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. The artists chose to release this track as Europe goes into a second Lockdown. It is an appeal to humanity and an emergency broadcast to mankind at a critical moment in the current crisis.

The accompanying music video is a tribute and homage to all the healthcare professionals around the world who have risked their own lives to save the lives of others. The video documents mankind’s experience of plagues and pandemics over the millennia. This is presented through a corpus of art historical works, archival photographs, and film footage. Featured prominently in this selection are works from the Wellcome Collection, London. [https://wellcomecollection.org/works]

About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a London-based duo comprising Andrea Papi and Daphne Ang. Coming together in early 2020 to record their debut album FULL SPECTRUM, the duo are fast establishing their niche in music as pioneers of a new form of expression, through the performance of poetry in music, and as an act that traverses between the wide-reaching spectrums of music. 

Drawing inspiration from TOOL and Kraftwerk, as well as the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, and Jim Morrison, TCOMAS brings literature, art, and history together into a space where rock and metal meets electronic.

Love In The Time Of Pestilence

I love amphibians and have an affinity for fried okra, loud guitars, and sick beats. expedition 33 and port wine are my thing at the moment, along with hollow knight and rise of the ronin.
