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

// The Pied Piper
“The Pied Piper” alludes to the medieval legend of the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin, the song talks about the complex interplay of power, control, and helplessness in modern society, drawing inspiration from the narrative style of the 1934 poem, “All of us or none” (Keiner oder alle), by the German political playwright, Bertolt Brecht.

// 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."

This song is part of the album “Why me – but why not me too”.
It is not to be seen on its own, but as part of a journey I have to live through since my diagnosis. Each track tells a piece of this path – honest, raw, and unfiltered.

a state of grace

Tales Of F-Note 2 is the 5th mixtape by F-Note The Visionary, and boy has it been a journey. I have been working on this project since 2018 and it really feels good to be able to release this. This is the first project that I completely produced my self. This album has went through so many stages, it's ridiculous. However that's what really makes it so special to me. Songs like Nothing Explained and What it take to be a legend have been rerecorded so many times, man I can't even tell you how bad I wanted to give up and just drop them how they were. But when I started recording with the Engineer of this project Josh Van Hoorebeke, I knew Tales Of F-Note 2 could be more than what I imagined it could be. The cover art's picture was taken August 9th, 2020. The building in the background was my first apartment in St. Louis, Missouri, and I was in my first car. Around that time is when I first thought I was done with this album too! Shoutout to my boy Trevon for taking that picture too! Anyways, I put my heart, my blood, my sweat, and my tears into this project so I just really hope you enjoy this. This is my first album That is fully mixed and mastered properly, and every beat is fully produced by me.
So without further ado,
here is TALES OF F-NOTE 2!
