Bad Omens concurrently released a shirt with their logo in a tiny font to parody the situation. Bad Omens quickly released a statement clarifying that they left because agreements in the signed contract were not fulfilled, and both bands were now "bullying" the group over their own failure to comply. Senses Fail declared the reason they'd dropped off was because their logo was too small on the promotional flyer. However, the band dropped off the lineup on the day the tour was announced. After the tour, the band took time off to finish writing their sophomore album.īad Omens was initially scheduled to open up for The Amity Affliction and Senses Fail on their 2019 "Misery Will Find You Tour".
The band embarked on what is seemingly their largest tour yet, supporting Parkway Drive on their Reverence tour along with Stick to Your Guns in the spring of 2018. The same year, Noah Sebastian worked with American deathcore act, Winds of Plague on their fifth studio album Blood of My Enemy. Bad Omens' rising fame got them a spot on Warped Tour in 2017, which gave them notice from pop punk fans and metal fans alike. Many critics compared it to Bring Me the Horizon's Sempiternal release in 2013.
The album received positive reviews, with Metal Injection rating it an 8.5 out of 10. This tour not only boosted their morale as a band, but also shed light on their debut album that had just been released on August 19, 2016. This garnered Bad Omens an opening spot on the Ten Years in the Black Tour, a tenth-anniversary Sumerian Records tour headlined by Asking Alexandria, with supporting acts such as Veil of Maya (in certain shows), After the Burial, Upon a Burning Body, I See Stars and Born of Osiris. In April 2016, "The Worst in Me" was released, throwing Bad Omens into the limelight with almost one-million streams in a month. They played on the Sumerian Records 10 Year Tour alongside Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, After the Burial and Erra. Bad Omens set off on their first major tour in the Winter of 2016. A month later, the band released "Exit Wounds". That very same year in December, the band landed a record deal and released a single and complementary music video for "Glass Houses" through the Sumerian YouTube channel. The EP was good enough for Sumerian to recommend taking most of the tracks and putting them on a full-length.Īfter months of rehearsal in Folio's basement, the band set off to Belleville, New Jersey, to record their debut album with producer Will Putney ( Upon a Burning Body, The Amity Affliction, Body Count) at Graphic Nature Audio. The band put out an untitled demo EP containing rough versions of their debut album tracks, which caught the eye of Sumerian Records. Nick Folio joined after submitting an online cover of a demo the band put out while seeking a drummer. Karlsson had the idea to make the move when a friend of his began a small record label that was initially producing the band's songs. With those four members, the group moved out of their homes in Sweden and Richmond. Karlsson had known Riquier through being touring mates from an old project from Riquier. He then added another mate, Vincent Riquier, who introduced him to a friend from Sweden, Jolly Karlsson. The following year in 2015, he contacted an old friend, Nicholas Ruffilo, to start the band. In 2014, Noah Sebastian departed from his former band, with Bad Omens in sight. The idea to form Bad Omens came in 2013 when Noah Sebastian began secretly making lyrics while also performing guitar duties for a Washington, D.C.-based act named Immortalist.
