Bad Omens have started teasing something
Following May’s CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST] companion record, are Bad Omens getting ready to release their next proper studio album?
It’s been over a year now since we found out that Bad Omens were working on not one but two new albums – and, following the release of their CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST] companion LP in May, are we about to get a proper new full-length?
The band have taken to social media – because how else do you tease new music? – simply posting a nine-second-long ‘LOADING’ video graphic. Of course, it could mean quite literally anything, but timeline-wise fans are certainly getting excited about a potential follow-up to The Death Of Peace Of Mind, which was released in early 2022.
Speaking to Kerrang! late last year about working on new material, frontman Noah Sebastian proudly enthused that, “I feel like we’re now at a place where I have my own North Star when it comes to creating – I have this newfound respect for myself.
“I don’t mean it in an egotistical way, but I just want to make music that I don’t hear other bands making. It’s difficult to reinvent the wheel when making a rock album, and The Death Of Peace Of Mind is very all-over-the-place, very experimental, to the extent that if you were to hear some songs in isolation, you’d never guess that we were a rock band, and vice-versa. I’m in a cool place right now where I feel like it’s up to me to make new music to raise the bar.”
He explained further of this mindset: “It’s just me trying to impress myself. I don’t care about what’s popular – I just like making music that I’m proud of. I’m my own biggest fan. Making [the music] perfect and better than the thing I did before… I think that’s Bad Omens’ secret weapon. All the other things that then happen are a result of that. People can see that it’s authentic, that we’re just trying to have fun and do cool stuff.”
Check out the teaser below, and watch this space for – hopefully! – some very “cool stuff” soon…
