USA’s most entrancing Psychedelic Doom sensation Insomniac are gearing up for an extensive US tour featuring appearances at Heavy Metal Parking Lot and Mojave Experience festivals, to spread the hypnotic sounds of their acclaimed debut album “Om Moksha Ritam” on Blues Funeral Recordings.
Watch Insomniac‘s new “Desert” official lyric video via the YouTube player below:
With their 2025 debut album “Om Moksha Ritam” on Blues Funeral Recordings, Atlanta’s Insomniac have coalesced onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond, delivering a brooding, Heavy, and Psychedelic journey filled with riffs and beats written in the Earth’s frequency.
REZN, King Buffalo and Dead Meadow naturally arise as points of reference, although it’s clear that fitting within confines isn’t really what the Atlanta banddoes.
About their upcoming spring tour, Insomniac drummer Amos Rifkin enthuses: “After the early success of our debut record Om ‘Moksha Ritam’ and tours supporting it this fall, we’re champing at the bit to hit the road again in the new year, and especially to be a part of the inaugural Mojave Experience festival in Joshua Tree. We’re humbled and honored to support such a fantastic band like Howling Giant and can’t wait to travel cross-country making beautiful music together!”

You’ve got it all wrong. The Insomniac isn’t unable to sleep, the Insomniac chooses to evade sleep. We all fall down at some point, but between the waking world and our dreams exists the surreal. In pursuit of that space between, some of history’s most prominent visionaries would hold a physical object, like a spoon or a ball, while sitting in a chair, and allow themselves to succumb to sleep. As they drifted off, the object would fall, and the sound would awaken them at the periphery of unconsciousness. Now more alert than ever, their work could begin.
Such is Insomniac. A band that exists between this world and the next. A bouncing ball on the sound and rhythm of the universe. An aural guide. Writing their songs in the frequency of the earth, the Atlanta-based quintet’s sound casts light on the magic and strange beauty in the balance between unconsciousness and dreams. Their debut album “Om Moksha Ritam” is a concept album that guides the listener through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments, testing their resolve, principles, and commitment to adhering to the path.
Lineup:
Alex Avedissian / Guitar
Van Bassman / Vocals
