It's officially time to start exploring Bad Omens' CONCRETE JUNGLE, with the band having just delivered a fresh pair of previews from their forthcoming collection of new songs, remixes, live tracks and more.
As promised yesterday, the first of the two cuts to premiere today (April 17th) is "THE DRAIN," a collaborative song that finds Bad Omens working alongside SWARM and industrial experimentalists HEALTH.
Fittingly enough, the track is fueled by four-on-the-floor pounding, black-ink synth undulations, and some dark and moody musings on loss ("Everything I love has gone away"). Stream it above via its official visualizer video.
The other CONCRETE JUNGLE preview is a remade-and-remodeled version of the title track to Bad Omens' 2022 album, The Death of Peace of Mind, which now features extra vocals from New York composer/sound designer So Wylie.
The remix takes the darkly anthemic original in a few different directions via chipmunk-pitchshifted vocal treatments, cavernous snap beats and an ethereal squelchiness. You can check out Bad Omens' So Wylie Patch below.
As previously reported, CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST] is due out May 31st via Sumerian. It also features the previously delivered "V.A.N." single with Poppy, along with remixes from We Are Fury, live cuts captured earlier this year, and more.
