About Bad Omens

Bad Omens burst onto the scene in 2015, quickly establishing themselves as a formidable force in the alternative and alternative metal genres. Hailing from Los Angeles, the band’s core lineup features the enigmatic Noah Sebastian on lead vocals, the masterful Joakim Karlsson on guitar, the rhythmic backbone of Nick Ruffilo on bass, and the thunderous Vincent Riquier on drums. Their sound is a meticulously crafted fusion, blending the aggression of metalcore with the atmospheric depth of industrial and electronic elements, often infused with pop sensibilities that make their anthems incredibly catchy yet profoundly heavy.

Their debut self-titled album in 2016 immediately garnered attention, but it was their subsequent releases, particularly “The Death of Peace of Mind” (2022), that truly propelled them into the mainstream. This album spawned viral hits like the titular track and “Just Pretend,” showcasing their evolution into a band unafraid to experiment and push boundaries. Bad Omens are celebrated for their lyrical depth, exploring themes of existentialism, mental health, and societal pressures, all delivered with Noah Sebastian’s versatile vocal range, which effortlessly transitions from guttural screams to soaring, melodic cleans. Their live performances are renowned for their intensity and visual spectacle, making every show a deeply immersive experience. As they continue to redefine the landscape of modern heavy music, Bad Omens remain at the forefront, consistently delivering innovative and impactful artistry.
