Bad Omens Shares a New Single and Video for “Specter”


Chart-dominating rock band Bad Omens is back with their highly anticipated new single, “Specter,” out today via Sumerian Records. After teasing their next chapter with cryptic “goodbye, friend” messaging for the past few months, the band now takes the stage with a track that promises to take their sound to new heights. Beginning with delicate, atmospheric production, “Specter” builds into a passionate, hard-hitting chorus, complete with ominous, otherworldly electronic flourishes that provide dynamic layers to the song. This carefully crafted soundscape pairs perfectly with its cinematic music video counterpart, a visual staple for the band that adds an extra layer of storytelling to their already powerful track. Directed by Noah Sebastian & Nico, the video injects viewers into a dark fantasy world that explores themes of loss, betrayal, and the supernatural. The visual was teased with cinematic clips featuring actor Ryan Hurst (known for Sons of Anarchy and Remember the Titans), adding an extra layer of intrigue ahead of the release. Stream the single and watch the video: Continue reading
