Insomniac Om Moksha Ritam
INSOMNIAC coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond. A bouncing ball on the rhythm of the universe. An aural guide past the edges of perception.
The band took form in Atlanta, Georgia, like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Deceased, Brass Knuckle Surfer, and The Buzzards of Fuzz, the outfit’s transcendent, mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty, balanced between unconsciousness and dreams.
Out now via Blues Funeral Recordings, the band’s debut record, “OM MOKSHA RITAM” or “Liberation through merging with the Universal Rhythm”, is a concept album guiding the listener through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments that test their resolve, principles, and commitment to adhering to the path.
Adrift between this world and the next, INSOMNIAC release themselves into the ether, spilling transportingly heavy brilliance in their wake. Like a third eye opening into the beyond, the transcendent, mind-expanding psych-doom of their debut album illuminates the strange beauty between unconsciousness and dreams.
On the heels of their most recent US tour with Norwegian juggernauts Kal-El, Insomniac shows no signs of slowing down, announcing additional dates for 2026 with Howling Giant, Crystal Spiders, and performances at amazing festivals like Heavy Metal Parking Lot, The Mojave Experience, and Legalize Lex.
