My Sleeping Karma announce new album ‘Atma’
MY SLEEPING KARMA have announced a new album!
Titled Atma, the upcoming album from the German instrumental psychedelic rock band is the follow-up to 2015’s Moksha, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album was produced, recorded and mixed by drummer Steffen Weigand at New Life Studios, and was mastered by Andreas Balaskas at Masterlab Studios in Berlin. The album artwork has been created by incredibly talented artist Sebastian Jerke.
The new album intends to describe the (absolute) self, the indestructible, eternal essence of the spirit, and is often translated as the “soul”. Sickness, death, and existential fear had brought the band to a point in music and life at which they were close to parting ways. Atma tells the story of their lives, processing the trauma of personal tragedies, deepest pain and fear of four best friends that have been going through their darkest days since their band’s existence.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, MY SLEEPING KARMA have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Prema. The new song’s accompanying music video was created by Johanna Amberg and Gabriel Sahm.
“We already started working on the video content back in 2018. The world is full of hate, envy, fear and greed and it seems the competition never stops,” the band comments. “Society is becoming more and more lost in a dog eat dog jungle, and back then we would have never thought that in 2022, it would be even worse. Besides the latest pandemic or the Russian/Ukrainian war, so many individuals are facing massive conflicts on a daily basis. In the end, there’s always hope that the world will become better again, once mankind understands. Love is the key and peace starts inside of everyone. The video track Prema tells that story and the entire album is all about this. Atma goes out with love to our dear families, friends and fans. Thanks for supporting us over the years and especially in the latest dark times.”
