Originally starting as no more than a solo side-project by frontman and songwriter Noah Sebastian, Bad Omens became a more serious musical endeavor after Sebastian left his position playing guitar for his renowned local and former band based out of Washington D.C.- in late 2013.
In early 2014, Sebastian announced his departure from his former band. For the following year, Sebastian would focus all of his time and energy towards getting the new project on it's feet; writing and recording an EP, seeking out management and label support, and along the way recruiting his long-time best friends guitarist Nicholas Ruffilo, bassist Vincent Riquier, second guitarist Joakim "Jolly" Karlsson, and drummer Nick Folio.
In the spring of 2015, now partnered with proper management, the band landed a recording contract with indie label top-dog Sumerian Records. Soon after, Bad Omens set out to record their very first full length record with award winning heavy music producer Will Putney in Belleville, New Jersey. Now residing in Los Angeles, CA, Bad Omens have been met with significant praise from the public after the release of their debut single "Glass Houses." A taste of what's to come while remaining loyal to the genre itself, Bad Omens doesn't leave one stone unturned and are truly a relentless new force to be reckoned with. Their sound is reminiscent to those who will remember Bring Me the Horizon's phenomenal 2013 release, "Sempiternal".
Why is there no one here?! This shit is gonna be the new Sempiternal
“This shit is gonna be the new Sempiternal” is exactly what I’m trying to avoid
Cmon man, one way or another it has some influences. But didn’t you like the songs?

So stoked for this album! After Ollie became such a whipped little bitch I’ve had to listen to the older stuff to get any resemblance of what was BMTH and Bad Omens will help fill the void. Amazing band, going to see them in Seattle in Oct.
