Review
Hold onto your umbrellas, because "THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND" by Bad Omens thunders across the horizon like a fierce New England storm. Dropped on February 25, 2022, under the mighty banner of Sumerian Records, this third album marks a tempestuous shift in Bad Omens’ musical journey. Embracing electrifying synths and sizzling electronic elements, this transformational piece crackles with a cyberpunk intensity that's both fresh and invigorating, catapulting the band further into creative territories barely charted before.
With Noah Sebastian's evocative voice navigating the raw ferocity of tracks like "Concrete Jungle," "Like a Villain," and "Just Pretend," the album is a whirlwind ride from beginning to end. The seamless transitions, like the smooth meld between "What It Cost" and "Like a Villain," give this album an unstoppable momentum. Zakk Cervini's masterful mixing and mastering unleashes a fierce gale of pristine sound, while Noah and Joakim Karlsson’s self-driven production birthed a rare tapestry of authenticity and emotional thunder.
Audiences and critics alike have been swept away, like leaves in a cyclone, by the unique blend of metalcore and electronic vibrations. Showered with positive acclaim from major publications and awarded "Best Album" at the Heavy Music Awards 2023, this tornado of sound doesn't just knock on the door of the metalcore genre—it kicks it wide open. Fans continue to hail the band's innovative spirit and Noah Sebastian's vocal evolution, with acapella versions of their tracks adding a serene calm after the almighty storm of innovation. Delight in the downpour of Bad Omens' brilliance as it reshapes the musical forecast. - Juno
