ON TOUR: Bad Omens - Do You Feel Love Europe Tour 2025 w/ The Ghost Inside & Bilmuri
Few bands have turned into such a massive phenomenon over the past few years as Bad Omens. Formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 2015 as a metalcore band, the group led by frontman Noah Sebastian has set a new benchmark for modern alternative metal with their heavy industrial influences, emotionally charged songwriting and insanely catchy sound.
Their third album, The Death of Peace of Mind, released in 2022, marked the moment when Bad Omens truly broke through on an international level. The album earned them the Heavy Music Award for Best Album in 2023, while the platinum-certified hit “Just Pretend”, the title track and “Like A Villain” quickly became some of the biggest songs in the band’s catalog. Since their formation in 2015, Bad Omens have continued to take their success to another level with every release — and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
This December, the band will bring their massive live show back to Europe, with Bilmuri and The Ghost Inside joining them for a run of arena shows in Zurich, Nuremberg, Berlin, Hamburg and Oberhausen.
Bad Omens were founded in 2015 by vocalist Noah Sebastian, bassist Vincent Riquier, guitarist Joakim Karlsson, Nicholas Ruffilo and drummer Nick Folio. After releasing their first demo, the band quickly caught the attention of Sumerian Records and signed with the label. Their self-titled debut album already showed exactly what they were capable of, with tracks like “The Worst In Me”, “Exit Wounds” and “Glass Houses” helping the band build a strong following while their aggressive and raw metalcore sound translated into an equally powerful live experience.
In 2019, Bad Omens returned with their second album, Finding God Before God Finds Me. Tracks such as “Careful What You Wish For” and “Dethrone” built on the sound of their debut while pushing the band into darker and more atmospheric territory. The deluxe edition followed in 2020, featuring the previously released singles “Never Know” and “Limits”, adding even more fan favorites to their growing catalog.
After the band were forced to cut their US headline tour short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they turned their attention towards their third album. The Death of Peace of Mind arrived in 2022 and changed everything. With the title track, “Just Pretend”, “Like A Villain” and “Nowhere to Go”, Bad Omens found a way to blend metalcore aggression with industrial textures, alternative influences and massive pop sensibilities. Several of the tracks also went viral on TikTok, helping push the band far beyond the traditional metalcore scene and into the international mainstream.
To this day, The Death of Peace of Mind has racked up more than 1.2 billion streams on Spotify alone — a pretty wild number for a band that started out playing raw metalcore just a few years earlier.
In 2024, Bad Omens released Concrete Jungle [The OST], expanding their creative universe even further through collaborations with artists such as Poppy, HEALTH, ERRA and Thousand Below. Rather than simply sticking to one formula, the band continued to explore darker electronic sounds, industrial production and experimental approaches while keeping their emotional songwriting at the center of everything.
By 2025, Bad Omens were already far more than just another successful metalcore band. They had become a worldwide phenomenon, constantly pushing beyond the boundaries of their own genre and exploring the darker and more emotional sides of their sound.
Their latest single, “Specter”, once again sees the band leaning heavily into darker territory. Built around an emotional and atmospheric ballad, the track dives even deeper into their industrial influences and showcases just how far Bad Omens have moved from their early metalcore roots.
Whatever comes next, expectations are obviously sky-high. A new album could have a massive impact — but even without another full-length record on the table, one thing is already clear: Bad Omens have reached a level where arena tours have become the new normal.
And this December, European fans will get the chance to experience that evolution up close, as Bad Omens bring Bilmuri and The Ghost Inside along for what promises to be a seriously massive run of shows across Europe.
