1. OMEN is an American H… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists using this name:
1. OMEN is an American Heavy Metal band that was formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by guitarist Kenny Powell, as he left the band Savage Grace.
Omen is best-known for melodic yet aggressive power metal/fantasy metal along the lines of King Diamond, Queensrÿche, Savatage, Manowar, and Helloween; Omen is forceful and hard-driving, but they're always been musical and melodic. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by lead guitarist Kenny Powell, who had been a member of an L.A.-based band called Savage Grace. Powell's early influences included Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, UFO, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, and Rainbow (among others), and Omen's Metal Blade and Enigma recordings of the '80s reflected the guitarist's appreciation of those headbangers.
Omen has had its share of lineup changes over the years; in addition to Powell, the band's early members included lead singer J.D. Kimball (R.I.P.), bassist Jody Henry, and drummer Steve Wittig. In 1984, Omen signed with the L.A.-based Metal Blade and recorded their debut album, Battle Cry, which was followed by Warning of Danger in 1985, The Curse in 1986, Nightmares in 1987, and Escape to Nowhere in 1988. Throughout the '80s, glam metal, pop-metal and hair bands were huge on the L.A./Hollywood rock scene -- the Sunset Strip was inundated with bands that hoped to be the next Quiet Riot, Poison, or L.A. Guns. But when other L.A. bands were heavily into the glam scene, Omen was a power metal band first and foremost.
Omen are now back again with a new line-up and new material.
2. An American rapper from Chicago. Chicago-born emcee, Omen (born Damon Coleman) goes his own route, delivering incredible songs shaped by rhymes, melodies and composition inspired, by some of his favorite artist growing up such as Nas, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Common. However, his most significant influences come from his own real life situations and emotions as well as his vivid imagination.
3. Omen is a Power Metal/Thrash Metal/Speed Metal band from Hungary. It was formed after the break of Pokolgép by László Nagyfi (guitar) and József Kalapács (vocals) in 1990. They were joined by Ossian's drummer Zoltán Nagyfi (drums), András Ács (bass) and Bikini's guitarist Zsolt Daczi. Soon after, Daczi had to leave Omen because of his duties with Bikini, so Tamás Szekeres (one of the most renowned guitarists in Hungary) joined the band. This lineup released 3 albums, but in 1993 Szekeres left, to be replaced by László Nagyfi's former apprentice Lajos Sárközi.
The band almost split up in 2000 when Kalapács and Sárközi left to form Kalapács. Omen was on hiatus until 2003, when Daczi re-joined the band (to be fired from Bikini in less than a year). The vocalist became Zoltán Pintér, mostly known as Oki, renowned for his participation in a reality show earlier on. In the meantime, Ács also left to engage in other activities than music; he was replaced by former Ossian and Fahrenheit bass player Gábor Vörös.
Soon Oki was fired for his inability to learn the lyrics of the songs (and thus ruining live shows); Tibor Gubás joined the band in 2004, re-recording a song for the 2004 best of album. After the promising beginnings with Gubás, Daczi had a severe traffic accident, which once again knocked the band to hiatus for a year. The first concert of this lineup was in October 2005; the new album was released in February 2006. In the summer of 2006, Daczi was diagnosed with cancer. During the fall of 2006, a re-recorded version of the 2003 album Tiszta szívvel was released under the title Agymosás, with Gubás on vocals instead of Oki. From early 2007 on, Miklós Cziffra played instead of Daczi in the concerts as the latter was not strong enough to go on stage.
Daczi died in August 2007. He was 38 years old.
During the spring of 2009, former Akela, current After Rain guitarist Zsolt "Szupermen" Szijártó joined, but Gubás was fired because of similar reasons to the firing of Oki. In the fall of 2009, the vocalist of hard rock band P. Box, Árpád Koroknai, was added to the lineup.

5. Omen is a dubstep artist from England whose tracks appear on various dubstep compilations including Tectonic Plates.
6. Omen is a Black Metal band from Malaysia.

Omen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the future, we'll know why
To, foretell something coming near
To warn against, something we must fear
You, can run from the attack
They'll only just slash at your back
Gods, gave us this ILL OMEN
Fuck
Ravens, coming from the sky
In the future, we'll know why
To, foretell something coming near
To warn against, something we must fear
You, can run from the attack
They'll only just slash at your back
Yes they will
Gods, gave us this ILL OMEN
Three winters come and we'll know it's the end
Of the nine realms
The lyrics in Omen's song "The Omen" describe the arrival of ravens from the sky as a forewarning of a coming danger that must be feared. The singer suggests that these birds have been sent as a sign and that their presence is not to be taken lightly. Running from the attack is futile since the birds will only "slash at your back." It seems that whatever disaster is coming cannot be escaped. The gods are also mentioned, as the ones who have given us this ill omen. The three winters are referenced as a specific timeline for the end, indicating that something catastrophic will happen in that time frame. The use of profanity at the end of the first verse adds to the sense of urgency and warning that the song conveys.
The imagery of ravens as harbingers of doom is common in Norse mythology and has been referenced in numerous works of art, including literature, music, and film. Odin, the Allfather in Norse mythology, was often associated with ravens, specifically his two companions Huginn and Muninn, who would fly across the earth and bring back information to him. The three winters mentioned in the song may be a reference to the Fimbulwinter, a three-year-long winter that precedes Ragnarok, the end of the world in Norse mythology. The lyrics may be interpreted as a warning to prepare for the end times ahead.

SHOCKING FACTS:
Five people associated with the film died mysterious deaths during production.
Gregory Peck's son committed suicide weeks before the movie was shot.
The four-year-old actor who played Damien had bright yellow hair that had to be dyed dark brown for the role. He was chosen for the part because he had "evil eyes" and violently assaulted director Donner during his audition.
Lee Remick's screams in the baboon scene were real because the baboons became far more violent than expected.
The crew had to cancel a chartered flight. That original plane crashed the next day, killing all aboard.
Mere weeks before filming, Peck and executive producer Neufeld were each on planes that were struck by lightning.
The day after the baboon scene was filmed, the trainer who oversaw the scene was killed by a tiger and director Donner's hotel was bombed.
Peck's stuntman was somehow mauled by Rottweilers during the graveyard scene despite wearing protective clothing.
Special effects director John Richardson did the decapitation scene. He and his assistant, Liz Moore, were soon in a car accident that decapitated Moore.
The film was initially titled The Antichrist and then The Birthmark.
Damien was originally named Domlin, after an undisciplined six-year-old friend of director Richard Donner's son.
Charlton Heston, William Holden, and Roy Scheider are rumored to have rejected the role of Ambassador Thorne.
@aristrosa
The omen still is an excellent horror movie. It's modest and memorable. Still has relevance today.
@nicky29031977
The best horror movie, beats the Exorcist and Shining hands down!
@aristrosa
@nicky29031977 I completely agree with you the omen is still a good and classy horror movie.
@nicky29031977
@Shane Howard RDonner said that as a personal opinion but generally it's considered a horror film since all the typical horror film elements are there. Anyway theres not much difference between thrillers and horror.
@aristrosa
@Shane HowardThe first omen movie will always be the best. Part 2 was good but the first will always be memorable. It has both horror and thriller elements. Plus Damien in the first one is both evil and adorable.
@nicky29031977
@AStarheart Rose57 Part 2 was good but nowhere near the quality of the original. DSeltzer refused to write it since he wasn't interested in sequels which is sad since his story would have made it a classic like the first one.
@vvaassaanntthh
Definitely the no.1 horror movie of all time. Many would say exorcist was scarier...this movie has no gory looking ghosts, no head spinning or anything of that sort...just the music, screenplay scares you. That's why this always is a classic
@ethical5168
It does have some quite gory kills though
@tracydavis8982
Not to mention those terrifying Rottweiler dogs!😍 The trainers, did an OUTSTANDING job training those Rottweilers, in The Omen!👍 Also, Jerry Goldsmith's musical score for "The Omen," of which he WON an Academy Award, for Best Musical Score......well deserved!🤗👍😍
@herohero-fw1vc
The best horror movie by far & has relevance in today's world.
