Bad Omens announce new album CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST]

Bad Omens' next album, CONCRETE JUNGLE, is on the way, and the band have just shared a pair of previews from their forthcoming collection of new songs, remixes, live tracks, and more.

As promised yesterday, the first of the two cuts to premiere today is "THE DRAIN," a collaborative song that finds Bad Omens working alongside SWARM and industrial experimentalists HEALTH. Fittingly enough, the track is fueled by four-on-the-floor pounding, black-ink synth undulations, and some dark and moody musings on loss ("Everything I love has gone away").

The other CONCRETE JUNGLE preview is a remade-and-remodeled version of the title track to Bad Omens' 2022 album, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND, which has been worked anew by New York composer/sound designer So Wylie.

The remix takes the darkly anthemic original in a few different directions via chipmunk-pitchshifted treatments of Noah Sebastian's vocals, cavernous snap beats, and an ethereal squelchiness.

CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST] is due out May 31 via Sumerian. It also features the previously delivered "V.A.N" single with Poppy, along with remixes from We Are Fury, live cuts captured earlier this year, and more.
