Mimi Barks returns with her explosive new single and video Dreamstate Of Hell, a dark and emotionally charged statement that marks the beginning of the next chapter in her Doom Trap universe. Blending metal, industrial intensity and trap influences, the track feels raw, urgent and deeply personal, pushing further into the tension, grit and unfiltered honesty that define her sound.
Dreamstate Of Hell was co-written and produced by Ruben Cardenas of SMLE and mixed by Owen Claxton, known for his work on Mimi Barks’ debut album “”THIS IS DOOM TRAP”, as well as collaborations with both Bring Me The Horizon and Precious.
Directed, produced and filmed by Death Tour vocalist Demi Yo’Ko in collaboration with Mimi Barks, the music video was shot in her new home of Downtown Los Angeles. Its late night surreal imagery, filled with motion, fire and a sense of collapse, mirrors the unrest at the core of the track and sets the tone for what is shaping up to be her darkest and most focused era yet.
Talking of the new single, Mimi Barks shares, “Sometimes it feels like the world is slipping into a dreamstate of hell and most people do not even realize they are asleep inside it. Everywhere I look, I see noise, decay, violence, distraction and now war becoming part of the daily landscape again. But to me heaven and hell are not places waiting for us when we die, they’re states of consciousness we create every day while we are here in the flesh. The real question is what you choose to feed: the poison or the light. ‘Dreamstate Of Hell’ was the first song I wrote after moving to Los Angeles, and it became the starting point for everything that followed.”
