Breaking boundaries and pushing the envelope of sound, U.S chart-topping rock band Bad Omens, LA-based industrial rock trio HEALTH, and electronic sensation SWARM have unveiled a powerhouse collaboration entitled “THE DRAIN” for fans today via Sumerian Records and Loma Vista Recordings. The song is the latest offering from Bad Omens’ anticipated CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST], due out May 31 via Sumerian Records. Catch Heath in Australia this August. Full tour details below.
Pulsating with industrial energy, melodic metal undertones and a smartly adapted sample of Bad Omens’ Gold-certified single “THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND”, the track promises to captivate listeners with its haunting duelling vocals from HEALTH’s Jacob Duzsik and Bad Omens’ Noah Sebastian. “THE DRAIN” serves as a testament to the symbiotic creative energy between these two formidable musical entities, drawing upon their individually distinct sonic profiles to create a masterfully-crafted, uniquely heavy single.
In addition to the HEALTH and SWARM collaboration, Bad Omens have unveiled a mesmerising remix of “THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND”. Crafted by New York-based producer, composer, and sound designer So Wylie, “THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND [SO WYLIE PATCH]” offers a fresh perspective on the already beloved track. So Wylie’s hypnotic remix was discovered by Bad Omens on social media, leading to an invitation to contribute to their CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST] project.
The musical two-pack follows the success of Poppy collaborative single “V.A.N”, the first release from Bad Omens’ CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST], which is currently #21 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart and has racked up over 10 million streams to date. All three songs will be available on the new project which has been described as an experimental extension of Bad Omens’ hit LP ‘THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND’ and the soundtrack to their ‘Concrete Jungle’ comic book universe. The project also features collaborators Bob Vylan, Wargasm, ERRA, and more. See full track listing below.
Bad Omens are coming off a wildly successful two years with the explosive success of their breakthrough third studio album The Death of Peace of Mind (2022). Hailed as “a stunning fusion of dark, Weeknd-esque pop and industrialised metalcore” (Revolver), the project has racked up over 940 million streams globally and surged Bad Omens catalog to over 1.5 billion streams.
The hardworking bands ascension was driven in part by the albums hit-single “Just Pretend” experiencing a viral TikTok moment that yielded a growing, dedicated fandom who catapulted them into the spotlight. Becoming the bands first RIAA-certified Gold single, “Just Pretend” reached #1 at US Alternative Radio and smashed multiple Billboard Year-End charts coming in at #1 on Hot Hard Rock Songs, #6 on Alternative Airplay Songs, #11 on Rock and Alternative Airplay Songs, #11 on Mainstream Rock Airplay Songs, #14 Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, and #23 on Hot Alternative Songs.
