Bad Omens – THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND

For their third studio album, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND, Bad Omens made a conscious effort to prove that they are so much more than a metalcore band, and it certainly shows. From the opener “CONCRETE JUNGLE,” which blends moody synths pads, dance beats, and R&B-esque vocals in the vein of Post Malone or the Weeknd to the radio-ready rock anthem “Nowhere To Go,” Bad Omens make every track feel like its own entity while still retaining cohesion. Those who love their heavier material will be satiated just fine with “Artificial Suicide” and “IDWT$,” where the band flex their aggression in compelling new ways. Ultimately, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND is a record that redefines experimentation in modern metalcore. —AD
