Label: Sumerian Records
Dystopian core kids Bad Omens are back with a new project called “Concrete Jungle [The OST]” which goes even deeper into the dark and messed up world they created for their comics. This album is like an extra level in a video game – it takes their previous work on “The Death Of Peace Of Mind” even further up in success ranks with new songs, remixes, and even live recordings. Eclectic yes; but somehow itˋs all relevant to their sound.
Some of the remixes on the album take the original songs and turn them into something completely different. For example, Thousand Below’s remix of Artificial Suicide makes it even faster and more aggressive, while Dahlia’s remix of Bad Decisions slows it down and gives it a more relaxed vibe
The tracks on “Concrete Jungle” are a wild mix of electronic sounds and heavy rock guitars. They sounds like a dark but neon-lit city that is full of danger and excitement with Noahˋs electro pop vocals in all the verses. There are guest singers on some tracks, like on V.A.N. featuring Poppy who adds a cool, ghostly voice to the mix that really blends so well with Noahˋs vocals. Other songs are like intense into the gritty underbelly of a world that calls to mind ˋBlade Runner 2049ˋ with some neo-noir and cyberpunk-ish vibes.
Some of the remixes on the album take the original songs and turn them into something completely different. For example, Thousand Below‘s remix of Artificial Suicide makes it even faster and more aggressive, while Dahlia’s remix of Bad Decisions slows it down and gives it a more relaxed vibe.
The album ends with live recordings that show how amazing Bad Omens sound in concert. The crowd goes wild, and it’s clear that Bad Omens are a band to catch live though they canceled all their live appearances during summer ˋ24 temporarily. They might just be or already are the next big thing in metal!
