BAD OMENS DICTATE THE NARRATIVE IN THEIR NEW SONG “IMPOSE”

Bad Omens take another left turn with their new single “Impose.” Instead of leaning on the metal grit that has defined much of their sound, the Sumerian Records band dives into a space built on keyboards, programming, and atmosphere. The riffs and pounding drums are gone, but the track somehow feels even heavier.

The change does not soften their impact. It sharpens it. With guitars stripped away, Noah Sebastian’s lyrics cut with more focus and clarity. He has always had a way of turning pain into poetry, but here it feels especially raw. Surrounded by electronics that create a foggy haze, every line sounds vulnerable and unguarded. Metal often hits with blunt force. “Impose” takes another path, pulling you into its world through mood and subtlety.

Describing Bad Omens to someone new is not easy, but calling them “Depeche Mode metal” comes close. They are dark, sensitive, unpredictable, and unafraid to evolve. “Impose” trades guitars for drum and bass textures, adds unexpected twists, and still manages to feel unmistakably their own.

Plenty of bands have to be loud to feel heavy. Bad Omens do not. “Impose” proves that restraint can be just as powerful, especially when paired with lyrics like “Too deep in my head again, won’t let nobody in… no matter how hard they knock.” It is a song that cuts deep without needing to raise its voice.
