About Doubting Tomas and Secret Rachel

Tomas and Rachel’s music hits the sweet spot between alternative metal and raw, unfiltered energy. Packed with emotional, poetic lyrics and genre-bending twists, their sound is anything but predictable. Think heavy, driving guitars smashed together with exotic touches—haunting lute melodies, medieval vibes, and even a splash of the Orient. The result? A sonic rollercoaster that swings from massive pop-rock anthems to cinematic, mind-bending soundscapes.

It all started in a tiny studio, where guitarist and composer Tomas met Rachel over a casual burger. That random hang turned into a creative spark, leading to a catalog of songs that defy labels and chase whatever feels right in the moment. They’re not here to follow trends—they’re carving their own path, unapologetically.

Expect hooks that stick, sounds that surprise, and a vibe that’s as colorful as it is alive. Sure, their melodies are catchy, but don’t let that fool you—this isn’t sugar-coated pop. It’s a bold, unpredictable mix of ideas, shifts, and surprises, guaranteed to keep you guessing and coming back for more.

How it happened

Once upon a time, in a studio far from fame, a guitarist and songwriter crossed paths with this singer. They were sittin’ there, talkin’ about how the burger they just grabbed was seriously missin’ some damn chili peppers, when it hit them—why not check out each other’s stuff? So they did, and after listenin’ to the tracks, an idea sparked: maybe they could throw down on somethin’ together.

Rachel gave the track Shadows in My Mind a listen, and straight-up roasted Tomáš for his vocals. She wasn’t about to let that mess hit the streets, so she stepped up and laid her own vocals down instead.

When she sang, though? Man, both of ‚em were caught off guard by how fire it sounded. They knew they had somethin‘. So they kept meetin’ up at the studio, crankin‘ out more tracks—twelve of ‘em in total, all a little different but still vibin‘ together under the name of that first song.

To make it even better, they brought in Gabriela and Ray on a couple of the tracks, just to mix it up.

How did it all turn out? Well, that’s for you to decide.

Tomas and Rachel’s music is a blend of hard rock and metal with emotive, poetic lyrics, creating an unmistakable sound. Their unique style merges aggressive guitars with exotic elements, from the intricate melodies of lutes to occasional Eastern influences. The result is a range that spans from powerful pop-rock anthems to cinematic, imaginative visions.

Their journey began in a humble studio, where guitarist and songwriter Tomas met singer Rachel. What started as a casual chat over a burger turned into a creative collaboration after Rachel took on vocals for Tomas’ track Shadows in My Mind. The unexpected chemistry between their voices sparked a series of tracks— each different, yet cohesive under the influence of that first song.
