Mimi Barks has released a video for her new single BANSHEE, taken from her upcoming debut album THIS IS DOOM TRAP.
Barks has released the following statement:
“A scream much like the sirens of death.
A piercing voice prophesying your approaching demise.
This ethereal noise is your death sentence.
Coming at you like the ultrasonic squeaks of a bat.
And when your heart stops beating and nobody will be there for their last goodbye, you won’t find me.
A broken childhood, a motherless orphan.
You failed as a parent now I falter as a child.
And you’ve chosen this path. Drowned every new promise in a bigger sip.
A Wormgirl, unwanted. Birthed into hopelessness. With my torso open for a second and my heart on display. It was yours for the taking and you routed a stake through it.
And I died a thousand times. Took refuge in my chrysalis where I licked up the taste of iron in the red; healed my wounds.
Reincarnated into the Promised Land. Emerge into something bigger than I was destined for.
The moth dies so the butterfly can exist.”
THIS IS DOOM TRAP is due for release on 26th September 2024 via Silent Cult, available to pre-order HERE.
