Formed in 2020 and coming at you from Camden Town, London, THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA (TCOMAS) have, without doubt, established themselves as a powerful collaborative. Comprised of Daphne Ang (vocals, piano and keyboard) who hails from Singapore, and Andrea Papi (vocals, electric guitar, bass, and drum programming) who was born in Italy, TCOMAS have consistently pushed the envelope ever since their inception. Their debut album, Full Spectrum, was a diverse fusion of heavy rock and electronica laced with poetry performance, exemplified by their single, Love in the Time of Pestilence , which graced several prominent editorial Spotify playlists. TCOMAS’ next release and sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, arrived in the Summer of 2022, and continued to broaden boundaries and excite the listener. The dynamic duo’s intriguing approach of combining progressive music, poetry, and vision, has garnered them worldwide attention. Furthermore, their self-produced music videos have been screened at numerous prestigious international film festivals around the world.
TCOMAS continue to widen the net further with their engrossing new album, Origins, which is their most expansive and finest piece of work to date. The first single from the record, Mysterium Tremendum, dropped earlier this year, and melded death metal, classical music, and poetry with a full orchestra. An alluring animated music video was also unveiled alongside the track. Their follow up single, Feed the Beast , with its progressive rock and metal anthemic guile racked up notable recognition and was included on many editorial playlists on Apple and Amazon Music. The band’s recent single, Bite the Bullet , again delves into fresh waters, seeing the band collaborate with UK-based Italian rapper, Mr Meuri, to stunning effect.
THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA are now poised to connect with an even greater audience, armed with a superb new album and a flurry of further releases and content. TCOMAS’ time is here and now.
Track listing: 1) Feed The Beast, 2) Bite The Bullet, 3) Waves, 4) Per Astra, 5) Mysterium Tremendum, 6) It Goes.
