\nBad Omens exceed boundaries on their self-titled full-length debut for Sumerian Records. It\u2019s something of a mission statement for the Los Angeles-based quintet\u2014Noah Sebastian [vocals], Nicholas Ryan [guitar], Joakim \u201cJolly\u201d Karlsson [guitar], Vincent Riquier [bass], and Nick Folio [drums].<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried to spread awareness about being open minded when it comes to heavy music,\u201d exclaims Noah. \u201cWe wanted to go beyond the realm of heavy and incorporate everything from industrial to soundtrack-style moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a goal that Noah\u2019s possessed since first writing for what would become Bad Omens in 2013. The Richmond, VA native logged time in a prominent local band, but he wanted to focus on his own artistic vision. He wrote and recorded a handful of solo songs without mentioning a word to anybody. When it came time to recruit other players, he linked up with old friend Nicholas. He added another buddy Vincent who introduced him to \u201cJolly\u201d\u2014all the way in Sweden. Nick joined last after submitting a cover online.
\n\u201cThe band started as me and two of my close friends and two other guys I\u2019d never even met outside of Face Time or Skype,\u201d he smiles. \u201cThis music just spoke to everyone, and we felt a bond.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also spoke to Sumerian Records who offered Bad Omens a deal in 2015 based off the strength of the demos and songwriting. The guys spent months rehearsing in Nick\u2019s basement before hitting the studio with Will Putney [Upon A Burning Body, The Amity Affliction, Body Count] to record the album.<\/p>\n
