Bad Omens

INTO EPIC, DARKLY EMOTIONAL METALCORE? MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE BAND

IF YOU EVER DOUBT MUSIC’S ABILITY TO UNITE PEOPLE, THINK OF BAD OMENS. When Noah Sebastian founded the band in Richmond, Virginia, he did so with little more than a guitar, a laptop and some scores to settle. Four years on, he’s at the eye of a storm poised to sweep across the alternative music world.

“I’ve done a lot of growing as a songwriter and as a person,” considers the front man. “When I started finding members for the band, I’d never even met some of the guys before; we’ve come from different backgrounds, but somehow it’s clicked perfectly. Jolly (Joakim Karlsson, guitar) brought a metalcore vibe, I was raised on stuff like Slipknot and Linkin Park, so it’s created this diverse, multicultural sound. The guys have never let me down, they’ve become my family.”
