A few weeks ago, Noah Sebastian, the singer of one of the most important bands in current metal, Bad Omens, decided to delete all his social media accounts without giving a reason, which motivated endless speculation within his fandom. .
In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, The vocalist explains his reasons: “I tried to use my social networks and I had to constantly silence them. I got tired of seeing my own face everywhere or seeing a stranger's opinion of me every day. I don't think it's a healthy thing. I've seen accounts that collect baby photos of me from some distant relative on Facebook and turn them into a kind of shrine. It's very one-sided, you know? If there was a female artist I admired and I had a collection of photographs of her when she was underage, people would probably try to put me in jail. It would be strange, it would be extremely inappropriate. It’s really funny how selective people are with their ethics,” he says.
Furthermore, he says that he does not like the rockstar label for himself. “I don't really see myself as a rockstar. I don't even know if I believe in the concept of the word anymore. I definitely wish everyone in the world knew me in real life and knew how boring I am, and how stupidly stupid I am, so that would be the case." “They could relax a little. But that's art. “Art is powerful.”
At the moment, Bad Omens is working on two albums simultaneously. “In a way, we're working on two albums at once,” Noah Sebastian said in a recent interview. The first will be called Concrete Forever and will consist of remixes, covers and some collaborations. The second album will be entirely of unreleased songs, but for now it is not known when they will be released.
Bad Omens' latest album, 'The Death of Piece of Mind', was released on February 25, 2022 via Sumerian Records. .
