About Bad Omens

Bad Omens formed in 2015 and built their following the hard way—through relentless touring and releasing music independently before signing to Sumerian Records. The LA metalcore band, fronted by Noah Sebastian, made noise with their self-titled debut and really solidified things with Finding God Before God Finds You, an album that hit harder both sonically and lyrically. They've become known for songs that balance crushing riffs with genuinely catchy melodies, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The band doesn't shy away from heavier material but they're not afraid of hooks either. They've consistently toured their ass off, building one of metalcore's more devoted fanbases in the process. Their live energy is reflective of the crowd they attract—intense but not toxic.

Bad Omens shows get loud and physical without feeling reckless. The pit stays relatively controlled but absolutely moving. Noah Sebastian commands the stage naturally, not trying too hard. The crowd sings along to everything. People are there for the band, not their phones.

Known for THE WORST IN ME, STOP THE TIME, ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, RECKLESS, LIKE A MIRACLE

Bad Omens + New York

Bad Omens have built a steady presence in New York's rock circuit, and their September 2023 set at Terminal 5 showed why they've earned their following. They dug into the catalog with deep cuts like "IDWT$" and "Limits" alongside heavier moments like "THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND." The real highlight was watching them command a mid-sized venue with the kind of precision that suggests they're ready for something bigger. "Dethrone" closed things out, which felt intentional—a statement about where this band is headed.

Live Music in New York

New York's rock and metal scenes have always existed in the shadow of the city's rap and indie dominance, but there's a resilient underground that gets it. Bad Omens fit somewhere in that space where pop-punk ambition meets heavier instrumental work, which plays well in venues that understand melodic tension. The city has always had pockets for this kind of thing—you just have to know where to look.

New York road trip to see Bad Omens?

Stay in the Upper West Side near Central Park—quieter than Midtown, better restaurants, and close enough to everywhere that matters. Dinner at Balthazar in SoHo if you want classic New York energy, or Gramercy Tavern if you prefer something less scene-y. Spend your afternoon at the Met or catching live music at Blue Note or The Basement—both venues where you'll see the players who influenced Mars's sound. Walk through Washington Square Park, grab a coffee, remember why New York mattered to music in the first place.
