We had the pleasure of interviewing Bad Omens over Zoom video.

Bad Omens slither through boundaries, only to ultimately choke convention in the process. The quartet\u2014Noah Sebastian (vocals), Joakim \u201cJolly\u201d Karlsson (guitar), Nick Ruffilo (bass), and Nick Folio (drums)\u2014materialize with ghostly atmospherics, striking hooks, and the tingles of sensual high-register harmonies uplifted by cinematic production. Racking up over 250M worldwide streams to date and earning acclaim, the band presents an uncompromising and undeniable vision on their third full-length album, 'THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND' (Sumerian Records).

The group\u2019s 2016 self-titled debut, 'Bad Omens', yielded fan favorites such as \u201cGlass Houses\u201d and \u201cThe Worst In Me\u201d which eclipsed nearly 25 million Spotify streams. On its heels, 2019\u2019s 'Finding God Before God Finds Me' spawned \u201cDethrone\u201d (13 million Spotify streams) and \u201cCareful What You Wish For\u201d (10 million Spotify streams). Along the way, they toured with numerous marquee acts and received tastemaker praise.

After their first headline tour was canceled mid-way at the top of the global pandemic, the band found themselves at home in Los Angeles with plenty of time. Where they absorbed and imparted a different palette of unexpected inspirations. Channeling what the frontman describes at times as a \u201ccursive sound\u201d they embraced newfound confidence and boundlessly loose creativity. Anything went in the studio, and all \u201crules\u201d were broken. Noah and Jolly wrote, produced, and engineered the music themselves while GRAMMY\xae Award-nominated producer and songwriter Zakk Cervini (Halsey, Grimes, Poppy, blink-182) lent his talents with the mix and master. Challenging himself, Noah decided to \u201cmake a track sampling items around the house, none of which were musical instruments\u201d.

This ultimately became the framework for the first single \u201cTHE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND\u201d. Claps puncture the icy soundscape as his voice stretches from a breathy moan into an evocative and entrancing hook, breaking from a whisper into the seductive chant, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t hard to realize. Love\u2019s the death of peace of mind.\u201d It culminates on a climactic scream uplifted by a distorted crunch.

By speaking it aloud, Bad Omens offer a level of comfort and empathy, with a sinister shroud. At the same time, they also give rock music a sexy new shape on 'THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND'.
