At the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Bad Omens surprised fans with a special performance on September 20. The metal band played a powerful 16-song set at the Highland Festival Grounds, kicking off with “Concrete Jungle” and wrapping up with the explosive “Dethrone.”
During the show, they debuted two new singles, “Specter” and “Impose.” “Specter” hit hard, and just a few songs later, “Impose” got the crowd moving. These tracks could be part of their upcoming fourth album, but there’s no release date yet. Half of the setlist featured songs from their 2022 album, The Death of Peace of Mind.
“Specter” is now available online, and its music video features actor Ryan Hurst alongside visuals created by Noah Sebastian. “Impose” shows a different side of the band, stepping back from their usual heavy sound for a softer vibe. The current lineup includes Noah Sebastian on vocals, Joakim Karlsson on guitar, Nick Folio on drums, and Vinny Muccino on bass. Bad Omens has been shaping their sound since 2015.
Fans enjoyed a mix of old favorites like “Artificial Suicide” and “V.A.N.” along with the new songs. The set also included “The Drain” and “Just Pretend,” keeping the energy high throughout the hour-long performance. At one point, Sebastian encouraged the crowd, saying, “I wanna see a mosh-pit. Or a wall of death — your choice.”
Next, Bad Omens will perform at Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival on October 4, followed by their Do You Feel Love European tour through December. Tickets are available now, along with the full setlist and fan videos.
