Moroccan Artist Idrissi Revives Nu-Metal in New EP ‘Realm of Dreams'
Idrissi offers both a personal exploration and an effort to reintroduce a sound that faded from the mainstream. Feb 23, 2025 Moroccan artist, producer and songwriter Idrissi has released 'Season of Mists', the first act of his three-part EP, 'Realm of Dreams'. The project introduces the story of the King of Dreams, a figure who can shape dreams for others but is unable to experience them himself - a reflection of Idrissi's own artistic journey, where the act of creation feels detached from the experience it provides to listeners. Musically, 'Season of Mists' blends nu-metal and rock, two genres that have become less prominent in Morocco's rap-dominated scene. Influenced by bands like Evanescence and Porcupine Tree, Idrissi revisits the sounds that shaped his early musical identity while adding his own perspective. The two-track EP features Moroccan artists Malket and Seina, giving a platform to voices that remain underrated despite their talent. With 'Season of Mists', Idrissi offers both a personal exploration and an effort to reintroduce a sound that once resonated deeply with listeners seeking raw, expressive music.
