Poetry Meets Music
'COUNT THE DEAD'
New Single | Out 8 October
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 early 2020.
Based out of the heart of London’s vibrant rock scene in Camden Town, London, the duo’s debut album, Full Spectrum, released on 26 February 2021, fills a gap in music by bringing literature, theatre, and history together, fusing rock, metal and electronic music with poetry performance.
Their upcoming second album, due for release in 2022, is a cathartic expression of outrage ignited by the global crisis. The new album's politically charged and satirical themes reveal a more aggressive side of the band. Recorded between April and August 2021 in the artists’ studio in Camden Town, London, United Kingdom, the album combines instruments and influences old and new, east and west. The lyrical content protests and petitions for the issues in urgent need of systemic change, opening our eyes to the grim realities of modern society and the darkness of human nature.
