Bad Omens are back with a commanding new single, “Impose,” signaling another bold step forward for the band that has been redefining modern rock. Known for blending industrial textures, electronic elements, and emotionally charged vocals, the group pushes their signature intensity into cinematic new territory with this latest release.
“Impose” opens with delicate piano motifs and swirling electronic flourishes that gradually give way to hypnotic, driving percussion. The arrangement builds a dark, immersive atmosphere, allowing frontman Noah Sebastian’s piercing vocals to cut through with haunting clarity. The track is paired with a striking music video, co-directed by Sebastian and Nico, which tells a disorienting story of a night-long encounter in a nightclub. Rather than a conventional romance, the video captures a woman caught in the frenetic pace of nightlife, with the male figure observing her unraveling journey.
The single follows the band’s recent U.S. #1 hit “Specter,” which topped the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and dominated Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative Digital Song Sales charts. That cinematic track has already amassed over 13 million streams globally and continues to climb radio charts, currently holding spots at #14 on Active Rock and #30 on Alternative radio charts. With each release, Bad Omens demonstrate an ability to expand their sound while maintaining the distinctive intensity that has earned them a fiercely dedicated worldwide fanbase.
Live, Bad Omens remain a must-see act. Their shows fuse theatricality and raw rock energy, creating unforgettable performances for fans. Later this year, the band will launch their Do You Feel Love European headline tour, beginning in Dublin on November 21 and hitting arenas across the continent. In the U.S., they’ll round out the year with sets at Louder Than Life and Aftershock, with more dates expected to be announced.
The band’s trajectory over the past few years has been remarkable. Their 2022 album, The Death of Peace of Mind, combined dark pop sensibilities with industrial metalcore, earning acclaim from publications like Revolver. The album has generated over 1.8 billion streams, with the band’s catalog surpassing 2.7 billion. Its RIAA Gold certification underscores Bad Omens’ growing commercial impact.
Breakout singles like “Just Pretend” propelled the band into viral stardom, including a TikTok-fueled surge that led to the track achieving Platinum status. That momentum translated into chart dominance across multiple Billboard categories, including #1 on Hot Hard Rock Songs and top 15 positions on Rock and Alternative charts. The album’s title track also earned top 10 placements on Rock and Alternative Airplay charts, further cementing the band’s place at the forefront of modern rock.
Following global touring highlights—including sold-out runs in the UK, Europe, the U.S., and Australia—Bad Omens continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Earlier this year, their Australian tour sold out multiple shows across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, confirming the band’s enduring international appeal. With “Impose,” Bad Omens demonstrate once again that they are far from slowing down, continuing to redefine the boundaries of rock music on a global scale.
