Mimi Barks has announced her new EP ‘Dreamstate of Fear’, set for release on 24 July 2026, marking the next chapter in her evolving DOOM TRAP universe following her debut album THIS IS DOOM TRAP. The project is available to pre-order now on limited edition LP, cassette, and CD.
Arriving alongside the announcement is the EP’s latest single ‘Jericho’, which follows previously released track ‘Dreamstate Of Hell’ and pushes further into a darker, more refined iteration of Barks’ self-defined sound. Blending alternative metal, industrial textures, and modern rock, ‘Jericho’ pairs heavy guitars with dynamic vocal shifts and a hook-driven chorus that underlines her increasingly cinematic approach.
The accompanying video for ‘Jericho’ was filmed across Bordeaux and central Paris, directed by NineNine99 in collaboration with Phenix Agency. The creative team has previously worked with artists including Ho99o9, Boys Noize, Kalash, and Gambi, reinforcing the visual’s gritty, stylised aesthetic.
Speaking on the track, Mimi Barks explains:
“What looks like collapse is really release, an undoing of everything that was never truly mine. There’s no real enemy unless you choose to become one to yourself. The shift happens when the self remembers itself, when the energy turns inward and transforms. The old world dissolves making space for something unknown. That’s where freedom begins. What will you choose? Heaven or Hell?”
