The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
"Deus Ex Machina"
Music Composition: Andrea Papi
Lyrics & Vocals: Daphne Ang

Deus Ex Machina is an arresting sonic and theatrical experience of man’s perennial struggle between fate and free will. Charged with both pathos and ethos, the song is a musical revisitation of classical literature’s greatest tragedy – the story of Oedipus Rex.

"Deus Ex Machina" tells the story of King Oedipus of Thebes, who despite all his efforts, ends up fulfilling the prophecy he was trying so hard to avoid: that he would kill his father and marry his mother.

Inspired by the sonnets of Shakespeare and the lyrical poetry of Ancient Greece, the lyrics tells the story of Oedipus Rex – a play by Sophocles written over two thousand years ago. The song is chanted and recited over the music much like in the chorus in Greek tragedy.

Released worldwide on September 18, 2020, "DEUS EX MACHINA" is the third single of The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. The track forms part of the independently produced album ‘Full Spectrum'.

Lyrics 

On the path of peril, the blind king staggers away
All he can see is darkness like a shroud
Groping through mist and cloud, the devil his only friend
Doomed is he to find release only at his end

Cursed is he who incurs the wrath of envious gods
Woe is he, he who walks alone on the road to ruin
Woe is he, whose fate is abandoned to the wind
Woe is he, the end too dread to tell, too dark to see

Trial is the test of man
Hubris will be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god’s envy, tragedy befalls

Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man,
But death befalls us all

Oh cursed Oedipus, 
Pursued by the hounds of fate
For slaying and laying with kindred, 
You took out both your eyes

All your sins laid bare
Your shame you alone will wear
So you go away without a guide
A vagrant with no sight

Oh cursed Oedipus, 
Hallowed be thy pain
A blind man wandering across the land
Never to be seen again 

Oh cursed Oedipus, 
Hallowed be thy shame
Architect of his own tragedy
So vanished he, into a shoreless sea 

Trial is the test of man
Hubris be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god’s envy, tragedy befalls

Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man,
And death will end it all

⚡️Music Video⚡️

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

Halena Morbida is the product of a middle age crisis. It is not about a particular genre, it's about the joy of creating music.

I use Ableton Live 11, Ibanez GIO electric guitar, Harley Benton electric bass guitar, HB acoustic guitar and acoustic bass guitar, Boss ME-80 processor, bongos, tambourine, cajon, and a bunch of different kinds of flutes.
 I am not a musician, I just fool around, while learning how to play my instruments. 
The artwork for the tracks is AI generated and the titles are chosen mostly using the method of free association.
Thank you for listening to my crap! 
Have a nice life while you still have it!

Thank you everyone for the support!

Now in all seriousness. Lekker Hondje is  a belgian girl that doesnt feel very belgian that has her roots in the hardcore house production but gave that up on that after she grew tired of the closed mindedness of the record labels/directors as she tried to explore different styles, new grooves. She tried to walk the lines that connect the different styles and tried to fade out these lines. Bring different styles to the people. In all this she is strongly influenced by artists such as 2manydj's aka soulwax, NIN, Spor, Stim Axel, Jimmy Hendriks, The chemical brothers and many others.
When she isn't working on any music business then she is probably at her 'other' job or she is playing arma2 or doing other stuffs of course. She will bring you dirthy beats (, dirthy dancing and pounding pounding techno music - hehe), good groove and catchy tunes. Remixes, mixes, mashups, probably some new own work soon. Let her take you on a trip trough the magical world of electro music and enjoy the beats.

-------------------------------------------

if you like the mixtapes then check out my mixcrate (http://www.mixcrate.com/lekkerhondje), you'll probably find more archived sets there and maybe even some newer sets that I didnt publish on my soundcloud page because I wanted the space for originals/remixes)).

Have fun!!!

Stanford Cruel (formerly ROSEM) weaves dark, atmospheric soundscapes that draw you into a world of haunting beauty. Hailing from Denver, USA, this solo artist crafts deeply emotional, intimate music that feels both personal and universal, born from experiences of profound loss. Their vocals are raw, yet soothing, balancing melancholic introspection with fleeting moments of hope. Influenced by the likes of Deftones, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and Depeche Mode, Stanford Cruel creates a sonic landscape that feels both timeless and deeply modern. After years of keeping their art close, they've emerged with a twenty-track journey that encapsulates their unique sound and unapologetic songwriting. The result? A raw, unfiltered glimpse into a world of bittersweet catharsis that has already earned them top spots on platforms like Reverbnation. For those who live for music that resonates with heartache and healing in equal measure, Stanford Cruel’s music is an invitation into a world all its own.

Some people may notice a stark difference between some of my music from a few months ago versus what I'm creating now. It represents a journey from anger and confusion to a desire to heal.

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. My music is free from AI and always will be.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

🎵June 2025
Still working down my pile of unfinished projects and re-releasing older songs. Feel free to comment and repost. As a rule of thumb, electronic music is old. I don't have the capacity for collaborations and remixes.

NEW ALBUM: https://hypeddit.com/vrgk59
OVER THE SACRIFICE - formed on 2019, Poland.
At first there was four band members, every from different city, with different feel and taste to wide spectrum of metal genres.
1st year of band activity was struggle to connect and develope fresh and clear vision of final sound and expression!
After one switch in squad - guitarist, it become clear that bringing sound of drop tuned guitars with seven strings plus fast hands and feets of drummer will lead us to become one of the heaviest bands in entire region!
Grant growl combined with scream technique gives extra fire to our craft!
We all love deep tones of distortion and fast headbanging BPM's
With present squad we was able to drop our first full album called 'First Seal Broken'
Present squad:
Marek Skałka - vocalist 
Tomasz Książczak - drummer
Tomasz Trojankowski - guitarist
Adrian Szatanik - guitarist
Thanks to you and us metal will never die!

New Album • Out Now
Listen: https://ffm.to/origins-album

Origins, the third album by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara, is out now.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS), a UK-based duo featuring Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), emerged in London in early 2020. Their debut album, Full Spectrum, established their innovative fusion of poetry performance and heavy music, creating a unique form of expression that has become synonymous with TCOMAS.
TCOMAS's sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, released on July 1, 2022, explores the history of metal, paying tribute to various subgenres. Set against orchestral and cinematic landscapes, the songs also incorporate non-Western musical influences. The lyrics draw inspiration from contemporary and classical poetry, as well as Jungian psychology.
