Bad Omens have teamed up with HEALTH and Swarm on their new single ‘The Drain’ and have announced ‘Concrete Jungle [The OST]’.

The track features booming synths alongside loud pounding beats. It also samples the band’s 2022 song ‘The Death Of Peace Of Mind’. HEALTH’s Jacob Duzsik and Bad Omens’ Noah Sebastian sing together, with lyrics such as “Everything I love has gone away” providing musings on loss.

According to a press release, the track “serves as a testament to the symbiotic creative energy between these two formidable musical entities, drawing upon their individually distinct sonic profiles to create a masterfully-crafted, uniquely heavy single.”

The band have also unveiled a remix of ‘The Death Of Peace Of Mind’ created by New York-based producer, composer, and sound designer So Wylie. The hypnotic remix was discovered by Bad Omens on social media and led Sebastian and co. to invite So Wylie to contribute to ‘Concrete Jungle [The OST]’.

‘Concrete Jungle [The OST]’ is set for release on May 31 and has been described as an experimental extension of Bad Omens’ hit 2022 album ‘The Death Of Peace Of Mind’ and the soundtrack to their ‘Concrete Jungle’ comic book universe. The project also features collaborators Bob Vylan, Wargasm, Jenny (Let’s Eat Grandma) and more. Check out the full tracklist below.
