Sonically, it showcases a whole new side to Mimi Barks as the track resonates it's vulnerable nature.
Falling deep into her new single, Mimi Barks shares 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.”

Biography:
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.”
