Bad Omens Premieres New Song “Dying To Love” on BBC Radio 1
American metalcore band Bad Omens, consisting of Noah Sebastian (vocals), Nicholas Ruffilo (bass), Joakim Karlsson (guitar) and Nick Folio (drums), premiered a new song “Dying To Love” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The song is the third single of 2025, following “Impose” and “Specter”.
It was written and produced by Noah Sebastian, Joakim Karlsson, and Michael Taylor.
The accompanying music video was directed by Noah Sebastian and Nico Poalillo.
The band frontman Noah Sebastian told Jack Saunders about the song, “It was a one shot writing session. We wrote it just vocal and guitar from start to finish, and then built the production around it, which is pretty rare for us, pretty cool. We were going for a more like rock feeling for sure, with the song. And I think starting with vocal and guitar only was kind of essential to that, versus building around production. So it's kind of written overnight. We stayed up till 5am working on it, and then I ran up kinks following few days that week.”- He continued, “I don't want to give away the whole story, because it's, in a way, it's still being written, so I can't. I just want to make sincere music that I enjoy. That's kind of been the motto since day one. I'm just trying to retain integrity, like it when things get big, whether it's a band or some kind of franchise or restaurant, even like you feel like quality tends to drop sometimes, and or you get like the fan, like I was there first, where everyone liked it. And I kind of want to retain whatever that magic is. And it's very hard to do it at this scale.”

The band is currently working on their upcoming fourth studio album. Three songs will appear on the album.
He said of the album, “I'm still juggling it every day. I get really worked up and anxious about the record honestly, and how long it's taken. But at the same time, I look at the strides we've made, even this this year. The other day, I had this thought. I was like, 'How did this band feel before we, kind of blew up with 'The Death of Peace of Mind' what was I doing? How was I doing things in order to make what was 'The Death of Peace of Mind'?' And I remember that it was just like, none of that pressure was there. Of like, countless people of all these different corners and parts of the world and demographics saying, Do this, do this. We need this. We need this. And it's just like noise, it's like, you can't please that many people at once.”
He continued, “I would say it's really close, but there's just a lot of moving pieces around it that are still kind of being set in motion, I guess. I don't want to give away too much stuff. I just, I want to make something really spectacular and interesting and worth people's attention. I can write a song every day, but it's like, is it going to be a song that I think is like the world needs or hasn't heard 100 times? It's like, no, that's a rare thing.”
