If you haven’t yet dived into Bad Omens, now’s the time. This band doesn’t just play music… they craft experiences. Dark, cinematic, and emotionally raw, their sound blends melodic metalcore with touches of alternative rock, industrial textures, and even hints of R&B. Ethereal, ghostly atmospheres hit you one second, then heavy, bone-rattling breakdowns the next. They push the boundaries of genre while staying brutally honest with their emotional expression, no filters, no compromise.

Formed in 2015 in Richmond, Virginia, Bad Omens is led by vocalist Noah Sebastian, guitarist Nicholas Ruffilo, and bassist Vincent Riquier., with a lineup that’s been delivering their signature sound ever since. Fun fact: Noah’s birthday is October 31st, making him a late-fall Scorpio- so yes, some of that intensity and moodiness is totally built in.  Plus that also means we’re birthday buddies.. So Extra cool points!!

Fans and critics alike describe them as part of the “new wave” of nu-metal, a modern, moodier evolution that’s as much about feeling as it is about headbanging. Whether you’re in it for the cathartic intensity or the haunting melodies, Bad Omens makes it impossible to hit pause.

Bad Omens will also be making their way through Missouri on their “Do You Feel Love” North American Tour. Heading to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, MO, on February 26th.
