Mimi Barks Returns with Single “Dreamstate Of Hell”

Mimi Barks returns with her brand new single and video, “Dreamstate Of Hell,” a dark and emotionally charged statement that opens the next chapter of her DOOM TRAP world. Rooted in the collision of metal, industrial energy, and trap, the track feels raw, urgent, and deeply personal, pushing further into the tension, grit, and truth that have come to define her sound. Co-written and produced by Ruben Cardenas of SMLE, and mixed once again by Owen Claxton, who also mixed Mimi’s album This Is Doom Trap and has worked with Bring Me The Horizon and MOSKITO, “Dreamstate Of Hell” arrives with a striking new video directed, produced and filmed by Death Tour singer Demi Yo’Ko and Mimi Barks in her new neighbourhood of Downtown Los Angeles.

With its late-night, surreal visuals and a constant sense of motion, fire, and collapse, the video mirrors the unrest at the heart of the song and marks the beginning of Mimi’s darkest and most focused era yet.

Barks states:

“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.”

She continues:

“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.”

She finishes:

“‘Dreamstate Of Hell’ was the first song I wrote after moving to Los Angeles, and it became the starting point for everything that followed. It is also the first single from my upcoming EP, Dreamstate of Fear.”

From the underground scenes of Berlin and London to major stages across the UK and Europe, Mimi Barks has built a sound and identity entirely her own. Her brand new EP will be released in summer 2026 on her own label imprint — DEATHKISS Records. Later this year, Mimi will make her U.S. touring debut on a 26-date run with Little Miss Nasty and GG Magree. She will then head back to Europe for dates with Wargasm, before wrapping up that run with her own UK tour in September.

Mimi Barks is touring the U.S. this spring as part of the “DEADDOLLZ TOUR 2026” with Little Miss Nasty and GG Margie. The tour kicks off on April 8th in Salt Lake City and runs through May 10th in San Diego. It marks her first time crashing domestic shores.

She states:

“This tour announcement feels surreal. My debut appearance in the U.S. has been a long time coming. The flock has been asking for this moment for a minute, and I’ve been manifesting it long before that. Joining Little Miss Nasty on the ‘DeadDollz Tour 2026’ alongside GG Magree is proof that when you stay focused and trust the process, things unfold in their own divine timing.”
