Mimi Barks, the Doom Trap Icon has enjoyed a successful rise over the last few years while sharing her relentless stage presence across the UK and Europe, appearing at festivals like Download, 2000 Trees, Graspop and Full Force as well as joining tours with rock giants Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Combichrist and Saint Agnes. She graced the front cover of Kerrang! Magazine shortly after being awarded with ‘The Disrupter’ award at the official Kerrang! Awards 2022 and had a world premiere from Daniel P. Carter on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with her single ‘ASHES’ which appeared on the DEADGIRL Mixtape.
With her dark vision translating across multiple platforms, she had huge support from the likes of Nels Hylton and Alyx Holcombe at BBC Radio 1, Alex Baker and Johnny Doom of Kerrang Radio while also receiving high praise from the likes of Rock Sound, Revolver Magazine, LOUDER, Distorted Sound Magazine, Bring The Noise and Knotfest who shared their own outlook on the ‘DEADGIRL’ Mixtape, “DEADGIRL seems to have a personal chronology. The progression of the songs seems to begin with you at your darkest and culminate with you coming into your own – emerging from the trauma.”
Mimi Barks has announced the upcoming release of her long-awaited debut album ‘THIS IS DOOM TRAP’ which will release her anticipated album on Friday 26th September 2024 via Silent Cult. The album has producer credits such as MorgothBeatz (Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker), Brian Spencer (Slipknot, Scarlxrd) and Kenny Graves (Stitches, HXXXD, and Cody Manson) and will feature her brand-new single ‘FSU’ (short for Fuck Shit Up). The new single landed her on the cover of Spotify editorial playlist Misfits 2.0 as well as other placements like ‘New Music Friday UK’ (Spotify), ‘Alt Scene’ (Amazon Music), ‘Breaking Metal’ (Apple Music) and ‘New Violence’ (Deezer).
