Actor known for roles in Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead has collaborated with Bad Omens on two eerie, unsettling promotional videos, sparking excitement among fans.
Bad Omens Kickstarts New Era with "Specter" and "Do You Feel Love" Tour
Anticipation for new music from Bad Omens has been growing since last September, and the band has finally delivered. On August 8, they officially announced the start of their next era with the release of a new single titled "Specter". This haunting new song marks their first new music since 2024’s Concrete Jungle [The OST].
The teaser for this new music began with photos posted on Bad Omens' social media accounts last September, showing them working in a recording studio. Since then, the band has released two cryptic teaser videos featuring actor Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead.
In the first video, Hurst's character compliments a child's costume, but the child corrects him, stating it's not a costume. The child is hiding under a white bedsheet with two cut out eyeholes, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Hurst's character interacts with the child, asking why they are hiding and what happened, but the child does not know. In the second video, Hurst's character asks if the child is ready to talk, but receives no immediate response.
The videos are believed to be a teaser for a major announcement from Bad Omens, potentially new music since 2022’s The Death of Peace of Mind album. During an appearance at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, frontman Noah Sebastian mentioned that he was tired from working on albums, hinting at new music on the horizon.
Sebastian revealed to Metal Hammer in February 2024 that Bad Omens' new music might take a different direction. He stated that he wants his new music to be tasteful and true to him as a person, and he denied that it would be a bubblegum pop record. Sebastian expressed that his work-in-progress feels true to the voice in his head.
In addition to the new single release, they recently announced their "Do You Feel Love" 2025 UK and European arena tour, which will be their most extensive headline run to date, featuring support from The Ghost Inside and Bilmuri.
