I have a podcast interview in about twelve hours.

I am both excited and nervous. I found this podcast on Threads and we’ve been corresponding back and forth, and I just hope I’m able to get some sleep tonight because last night was fucking ass in terms of that. I only got three hours 😭.

I don’t know what I’m going to do if this shower I’m about to take doesn’t manage to knock me the hell out. CBD pills? Maybe???

Insomniac – Om Moksha Ritam Review

By Samguineous Maximus

The terms “psychedelic” and “post-metal” are usually enough for me to approach any new release with caution—not because those genres lack excellent music, but because they’re so often associated with overlong, unfocused songs. For every Cult of Luna or Oranssi Pazuzu, there are fifty bands peddling overlong, riffless dirges that mistake “atmosphere” for actual songwriting. Atlanta supergroup Insomniac has arrived with their debut record Om Moksha Ritam, with the ominous self-designation of “post-doom.” The title, loosely translated from Sanskrit as “Liberation through merging with the Universal Rhythm,”1 foregrounds its ambitions as a concept album designed to “guide listeners through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments.” Have Insomniac crafted a narrative listening experience that successfully conveys its metaphysical aspirations? Or is their debut the “post-doom” equivalent of a bad trip?

On Om Moksha Ritam, Insomniac manages to craft a sound that is immediately recognizable yet distinctly their own. They merge the progressive psychedelia of Elder with the layered, textural approach of REZN, all filtered through the Southern-gothic tinge of fellow Georgians Baroness. The result is a body of songs that draw equally from the contemplative exploration of ’70s prog, Americana-dipped blues rock, and the anthemic heft of post-metal’s sludgier, power-chord-driven moments. What makes this combination work is not just the intuitive chemistry of the instrumentalists, but the commanding presence of vocalist Van Bassman. Each track is surprisingly vocal-driven, and Bassman conjures a sound somewhere between a bluesier Dax Riggs and a John Baizley who’s actually capable of singing. His baritone sits front and center for much of Om Moksha Ritam, often accompanied by vocal layers and effects, creating a kaleidoscopic swirl that amplifies the ebb and flow of the music as it moves between peaks and valleys.

It helps that Om Moksha Ritam’s tracklist is dynamic and well-paced, with each of its 7 songs offering subtle differentiation on Insomniac’s core formula. Much of this can be attributed to the interplay between guitarists Alex Avedissian and Mike Morris,2 whose willingness to balance acoustic and effects-laden electric timbres gives the record a versatile and interesting palette. The guitars ferry the songs between quiet reflection and crushing grandeur. Whether it’s weaving intricate folky arpeggios together with tripped-out leads (“Desert”), harmonizing across doomy atmospheres (“Mountain”) or using post-rock tremolos to punctuate a well-earned climax (“Meditation), the guitar work on Om Moksha Ritam is consistently engaging and varied. Of course, this would be for naught without a strong rhythm section, but Insomniac has that as well. Drummer Amos Rifkin brings a loose, delicate touch to softer tracks like “Sea” and “Forest,” but escalates with thunderous weight when the music demands greater intensity. Meanwhile, bassist Juan Garcia provides a warm, full-bodied tone that both supports and embellishes the melodic core, keeping the songs anchored amid the dense layering of guitars and vocals, which is important on a track like the expansive and sprawling “Snow and Ice.”

Only a few minor inconsistencies keep Om Moksha Ritam from reaching the apex of Insomniac’s sound. The B-side leans away from emphatic “Hell yes” moments in favor of slower, navel-gazing jams. These tracks reward repeat listens but aren’t as immediately gripping. Closer “Awakening” falls just shy of the monumental highs of the opening salvo, with a climactic chorus that doesn’t land as powerfully as it could. For the most part, the record sounds fantastic and balances its many intricate layers, though there are moments (the refrains of “Mountain” and “Sea”) where Bassman’s voice overpowers the rest of the band in a psychedelic spiral. These issues don’t detract too heavily from the record’s overall impact, but they are worth noting.

Om Moksha Ritam takes you on a hallucinogenic trek across the desert, riffs shimmering like heat mirages, the atmosphere thick enough to choke a camel. Insomniac has delivered an album that takes listeners on a true musical journey, drenched in smoke-filled vibes, yet immediately rewarding. Their unique, psychedelic strain of “post-doom” metal blends familiar elements from beloved bands into something greater than the sum of its parts. If Insomniac invite me on another spiritual vision quest through the wastelands of sound, I’ll happily lace up my sandals, pack my water skin, and follow them straight into the void.

Because of the big (unfortunate) #Insomniac hack a while ago, we know that Sunset Overdrive only made $567 in profit for them.

No, that isn’t a typo. Three digits.

https://youtu.be/PhMW1iVKDcQ

And while Microsoft owns the IP, Sony acquired Insomniac. So it’s a big ol’ mess of rights that never made enough return on investment for anyone to bother untangling it.

Womp womp. #SunsetOverdrive

Sunday.
It's past 4 AM.
Trying to #sleep.

On Saturday I rode over 15 km on crazy busy city roads. 🚴‍♀️😵‍💫
Walked to the mall.🚶‍♀️
Walked around the mall. 🚶‍♀️
Shopped. 🛍️
Brought home a big air purifier. 🏋️‍♀️
Cooked and cleaned up. 🧹
Watched a few episodes of Alias. 📺

Been laying in the dark for hours now...

How am I still wide awake? 😳

All I'm saying is that it would be super cool if I were *not* an insomniac.

I find it pretty strange that there's no mention of a PS5 Pro nor even the inevitable PS6 in this Insomniac leak, with roadmaps and stuff included. They are a first party dev, so they should have gotten briefings and target specs much earlier than the 3rd parties rumored to be getting their Pro dev kits just now. It was said only 98% of the data was released. I wonder if someone bought all the info pertaining to the future consoles

#AcrossTheSpiderverse made me decide to play through the newest Spider-Man games again in a lead up to #SM2.

My god I love #Insomniac and their games.

In about three hours "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" will be released on PC.

I wish all of you who never got to play it before much fun with this awesome piece of work by #Insomniac, and I hope you'll all love Rivet as much as I do. 😊

(More and bigger Rivet screenshots I took on PS5 later today, when I hopefully still have them on my PS5.)

Have much fun and love her, erm, and the game! ♥

I’m an #Insomniac Have been for years. Have loads of bad habits like picking my phone up if I awaken. Afternoon naps at weekends. #Audible sometimes help me drift off again and I’ve recently discovered a love for #WinnieThePooh stories, particularly when read by #AlanBennett The dark hours are when my mind goes into overdrive and #ImposterSyndrome lurks in the shadows. The white noise of my cat’s purr sometimes helps. It’s hard.

Me too. Funny how a job that's done with a computer (sans commute and manual labor) can be so exhausting. My free time is spent resting and trying to sleep. 😁 #workfromhome #sleepyhead #insomniac #MaybeImJustLazy

I just happen to be usually* awake around the time that they do the Bible study. 🙃

So yesterday I slept 5 hours in the morning, which was awesome. No nap afterwards. But I tried. I really did.

Worked all night and now...
It's almost noon.

Why am I still wide awake??! Not the slightest bit sleepy! 😖

I better be able to sleep/nap before I start work later. 😐 #sleep #insomniac #graveyardshift

Haven't been getting enough #sleep for a few weeks now. 😳

About an hour or two of sleep in the morning, then another hour or so in the early evening, before a quick dinner and prepping for work.

I find myself binge-napping (if I can call it that) on #Saturdays -- morning, afternoon, evening. 😴 Then Sunday is like an in-between to transition back to my weekdays. Then, I repeat my groundhog week.
