About Bad Omens

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Bad Omens have rapidly carved out a distinctive niche for themselves in the rock and metal landscape. Formed in 2015, the band burst onto the scene with a potent blend of modern metalcore, electronic influences, and anthemic, emotionally resonant songwriting. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2016, immediately showcased their ambitious sound and Noah Sebastian’s commanding vocal versatility, capable of shifting from melodic introspection to guttural ferocity.

Their sophomore effort, “Finding God More Real” (2019), further solidified their trajectory, deepening their sonic palette and lyrical exploration. However, it was their third studio album, “The Death of Peace of Mind” (2022), that truly catapulted them into the mainstream consciousness. This critically lauded record masterfully fused aggressive instrumentation with introspective, often dark, lyrical themes, exploring concepts of self-reflection, mental health, and the human condition. Tracks like the infectious and stadium-ready “Just Pretend” became massive hits, resonating deeply with a broad audience and showcasing their ability to craft memorable hooks alongside crushing heaviness. Other standout tracks from their discography that have garnered significant attention include the relentless “Glass Houses,” the hauntingly beautiful “The Grey,” and the powerful “Artificial Suicide.” Bad Omens are not afraid to push boundaries, incorporating elements of industrial, pop, and even R&B into their sound, creating a unique and compelling sonic identity that sets them apart from their peers. Their live performances are renowned for their intensity and Noah Sebastian’s dynamic stage persona, making each show a truly captivating spectacle.
