A Richmond band that builds a following on raw emotional honesty and melodic hooks.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Like a Villain' or 'Exit Wounds'. They're good examples of how the band balances aggression with melody.
Their songs often deal with heavy emotional territory, and tracks like 'The Worst In Me' show their mix of aggressive metalcore and melodic hooks. The 2022 single 'Just Pretend' drew attention for its direct treatment of mental health themes, with some listeners finding it uncomfortably raw while others connected with its honesty.
Bad Omens formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2014, with their self-titled debut album in 2016. Songs such as 'Dethrone' and 'Exit Wounds' maintain their metalcore foundation while letting melodic elements come through more clearly on later releases like 'The Death of Peace of Mind' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
