What a powerful track. Immense power 👏👏👏

Damn man this rock track really rocked me up

Nice track. Powerful atmosphere, well done

Like the guitar tones ans riffs here, nice clean parts

Loved the music happening in the background, loved the spoken words!

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

// Nothing but Dust 
‘Nothing but Dust’ addresses the theme of modern man’s search for his soul. The song revisits the ancient practice of desert hermitage as a means to confront and enrich one’s soul. 

The lyrics recall the sounds and semantics of the poems of the 13th c. Persian mystic, Rumi, while the music has Arabian influences. In this increasingly material world we live in, the song, to quote Jung, finds solace in the ‘desert of one's soul’ – through poetry and metal.

LYRICS

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
It has begun
The hour of my great contempt is here
The day of my reckoning has come

I must leave the warmness of this womb
My spirit summons me on a journey
You must let me go alone
For my soul is now a barren desert

My spirit carries me over vast lands
I see nothing but sand and dust
Chasms in the scorched earth
Cracked open by a relentless sun

I smell the death of hope in the air
Heavy is the air
In my solitude and silence
I find my soul a lonely desert

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
Has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing  
King of dust
He is nothing
King of dust

If I don't return
Tell my story
If I don't return
You'll know I’m nothing but...

For miles and miles
He searches the sky
With his eyes and with his heart
He toiled from rags to riches
To build a kingdom over sand and dust

His lands
Once a plenty
Now barren fields of dirt and dust
Gazing through his filth and despair
But alas
There is nothing but dust

Alas! It has begun
The tempest has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust

King of nothing
King of dust
He is nothing
King of...

�  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, which they released on 26 February 2021. 

The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology.

pENDING

Longtime followers of Mark Henes know that he has a habit of shifting eﬀortlessly from punk to country and back. On his foreboding new single, he fully embraces the former, with thrashing electric guitars backing up his signature booming baritone to create an energetic anthem for the end of times.

“Nostradamus is upon us, and what do you think will come?” Henes sings in the songs opening lines. It’s pretty clear that the future looks bleak from his perspective, but rather than wallow in pity, Mark uses his lyrical gifts to find reason for celebration in the face of hopelessness. The intricate guitar play and thundering drums provide listeners with a much needed sense of catharsis for the chaotic times we’re living in.

As he prepares the release of his debut full length album ‘Crystallized Reflections,’ it is clear that Mark is not content to be pigeon holed into just one sound. If this single is any indication, he is ready for a long and unpredictable career.

‘Nostradamus Is Upon Us’ is available everywhere Aug. 7, 2020

Crystallized Reflections

Nostradamus Is Upon Us

into god call me

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.

In 2024, TCOMAS released “Mysterium Tremendum" a fusion of classical orchestration, poetry, and death metal.
