The current lineup of the band includes: Noah Sebastian (lead vocals, programming), Nicholas Ruffilo (bass, backing vocals), Joakim Karlsson (lead guitar, programming, backing vocals and rythm guitar) and Nick Folio (drums and percussions).
History
The first idea to form the band came in 2013 when Noah Sebastian, then guitarist of a Washington D.C.-based band named Immoralist, began writing lyrics. Therefore in 2014 he departed the band and in the subsequent year he contacted his old friend Nicholas Ruffilo to start his new project, later involving bassist Vincent Riquier, who introduced him to another friend, Joakim "Jolly" Karlsson. The band put out an untitled demo EP containing rough versions of their debut album tracks, which caught the eye of Sumerian Records. The EP was good enough for Sumerian to recommend taking most of the tracks and putting them on a full-length.
The first name adopted by the band was "CHLDRN", and "Bad Omens" was originally supposed to be the title of one of their early songs. Ash Avildsen, founder of Sumerian Records, suggested the band to change the name to Bad Omens and so they picked another name for the song, which became the hit Glass Houses.
The band realeased its first self-titled EP Bad Omens on August 19, 2016 with Sumerian Records.
Bad Omens' rising fame got them a spot on Warped Tour in 2017, which gave them notice from pop punk fans and metal fans alike. The same year, Noah Sebastian worked with American deathcore act, Winds of Plague on their fifth studio album Blood of My Enemy. The band embarked on what is seemingly their largest tour yet, supporting Parkway Drive on their Reverence Tour along with Stick to Your Guns in the spring of 2018. After the tour, the band took time off to finish writing their sophomore album and bassist Vincent Riquier left the quartet in July 2018.
Their second full-length album, Finding God Before God Finds Me (FGBGFM), was released in 2019, having a deluxe edition released in 2020, with the addition of the songs Limits and Never Know, which both charted on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs, and a cover of the 90's hit Come Undone, from Duran Duran.
The band embarked on their first full US headlining tour in 2020, with support from Oh, Sleeper, Thousand Below and Bloodline, but on March 13, the remainder of the tour was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, after filling in the spot of Every Time I Die on the Voyeurist Tour with headliner Underoath, Bad Omens toured with A Day to Remember, The Ghost Inside, and Beartooth. The band later announced on August 23 that they would be headlining a North American tour with Dayseeker, Make Them Suffer, and Thousand Below.
That same year they released their most known album, The Death of Peace of Mind which took them to charts and highlighted them in social media. The album, which Noah describes as the most experimental and faithful to who they want to be as a band, made great numbers and the songs Just Pretend and The Death of Peace of Mind became Gold Certified by RIAA in USA.
During 2023, the band toured the "Concrete Forever US Tour" supported by ERRA and I See Stars (which were making a comeback after +5 years away from the scene). Later the band announced dates for the "Concrete Forever 2024" in US and EU and were announced as guests for the Bring Me The Horizon's "Nx_Gn Wrld Tour", with Cassyette and Static Dress.
Although the band members remain low profile, the band keeps a solid fanbase, and according to the frontman, Noah Sebastian, they've been working on the sequel of The Death of Peace of Mind.
After the tour with BMTH ended and three days away from the beginning of the "Concrete Forever Europe" tour, Bad Omens released the single V.A.N featuring Poppy, who was going to support the band for the CF/EU tour then.
In 2024, Bad Omens got back touring and released some studio images, showing something was about to come off. On April, 16th the band announced the releasing of two songs: "THE DRAIN" - a collaboration with HEALTH and SWARM - and "THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND (SO WYLIE PATCH)".
On the same day, the band announced the releasing of what appeared to be a new album called "CONCRETE JUNGLE (THE OST)", fueled by collabs with ERRA, iRis.EXE, WE ARE FURY, Poppy (on V.A.N) and others, with new songs, live tracks and revisited versions of TDOPOM songs, with Wargasm and A Thousand Below appearing on new versions of ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, The Grey and the band's oldschool song "Hedonist" (now, "Hedonist (recharged)"). CONCRETE JUNGLE (THE OST) has been published on May 31, 2024.
