Bad Omens have released another huge anthemic single entitled ‘Dying To Love’ via Sumerian Records.

The single follows the release of stand-alone singles ‘Impose’ and ‘Specter’ and showcases a band riding high on their recent success, but still very much determining it on their own terms.

The Struggle Beneath The Spotlight

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Bad Omens has steadily grown from a rising metalcore outfit into a cinematic rock force that’s packing out arenas and seemingly on track to become the next big festival headliner.

Formed in 2015, with vocalist/producer Noah Sebastian at the centre, the band trekked through its debut Bad Omens (2016), the more expansive Finding God Before God Finds Me (2019) and then their breakthrough The Death of Peace of Mind (2022), which has garnered over 1.8 Billion Streams, with the catalogue surging to over 2.7 Billion Streams.

Following the release of the ominous ‘Specter’, they’ve now returned with ‘Dying To Love’, with phrases such as “They call your name from ivory streets, But Heaven isn’t quite what it seems” that carry both the weight of ambition and pressure of the industry machine taking its toll. But in this moment, Bad Omens refuse to follow the traditional pattern of burnout after success, as frontman Noah Sebastian explained to 93XRadio.

I refuse to bend the knee so to speak to the conventional format, the expectation of a band of our size is to deliver things at a certain time at a certain rate. Things are done when they’re done and if you can’t wait for that like there’s plenty of other stuff for you to enjoy in the meantime and hopefully come back to it when it’s ready. But I’m not going to put something out that I’m unhappy with, even if it takes longer than it should.

A Band In Control of Its Own Story

At its core, ‘Dying To Love’ feels like more than another single; it’s a reflection of the tension Noah Sebastian describes when talking about the creative process itself. The song’s refrain, “I’ve been dying to love,” mirrors that relentless pursuit of connection and meaning, both in art and in life.

Bad Omens stand at a crossroads few bands reach: success has amplified their voice, but also the weight of expectation. Through ‘Dying To Love’, they confront that pressure head-on. It’s a song about obsession, patience, and the pain of wanting something enough to sacrifice everything for it, a theme that runs parallel to Noah’s perfectionism and the band’s determination to do things their own way.

In that sense, ‘Dying To Love’ isn’t just a story of desire; it’s the story of Bad Omens themselves: a band constantly torn between creation and consequence, still choosing to give everything to the art that defines them.

It just takes a lot for me, with Bad Omens having gotten so big in a commercial way. I don’t want the creative to fall under the ripple effect of the commercial side of success. I want to retain integrity and a strong creative DNA that’s always been there because I’m so hands-on with it.
