Bad Omens Release New Single Specter With Lynchian Video

Bad Omens, the platinum-certified alternative metal band, has launched a new era with the release of their haunting single "Specter," accompanied by a cinematic and unsettling music video co-directed by vocalist Noah Sebastian. The video features actor Ryan Hurst, known for his roles in "Sons of Anarchy" and "The Walking Dead," portraying a psychiatrist interacting with a child dressed as a ghost, enhancing the song's ghostly and psychological themes. The track marks the band's first new music since their 2022 album, "The Death of Peace of Mind," and showcases an evolution in their sound with atmospheric production building to a dynamic chorus. Leading up to the single, Bad Omens executed a strategic social media purge and shared cryptic teaser videos, sparking fan speculation about a new creative direction. Sebastian has suggested that while their music may evolve, it will maintain the darker emotional elements characteristic of their style, dismissing any notions of a drastic genre shift. The band is expected to perform "Specter" during their 2025 festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock.
