This year\u2019s Louder Than Life festival<\/a> is currently underway at the Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, Ky., and last night (Sept. 20), American metalcore\/alternative metal band Bad Omens<\/a> delighted attendees by playing two songs live for the first time ever as part of their incredible set.<\/p>\n According to the official Louder Than Life website<\/a>, Bad Omens\u2019 performance (on Main Stage 2) began at 8:40 PM and lasted for about an hour.<\/p>\n Per setlist.fm<\/a>, they played 16 songs in that time, and most excitingly, they included the live debuts of both of their latest singles \u2013 \u201cSpecter\u201d and \u201cImpose\u201d \u2013 which likely come from their upcoming (and still untitled) successor to 2022\u2019s The Death of Peace of Mind<\/a><\/em>. Of course, they pulled them off wonderfully, with the crowd cheering and singing along the entire time.<\/p>\n Outside of those two surprises, Bad Omens honored their first three studio LPs by pulling out several singles (including “Artificial Suicide,” “Just Pretend,” “Like a Villain,” “Glass Houses” and “Nowhere to Go”) and<\/em> several deeper cuts (such as \u201cDethrone\u201d and \u201cTake Me First\u201d).<\/p>\n You can see the group\u2019s full Louder Than Life 2025 setlist below, as well as checkout fan-shot videos of their performance.<\/p>\n READ MORE: See the Lyrics for Bad Omens’ Hypnotic New Song ‘Impose’<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 01.\u201cConcrete Jungle\u201d via setlist.fm<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Back in August, Bad Omens released \u201cSpecter<\/a>,\u201d their first non-collaborative single in several years. The cinematic music video was directed by frontman Noah Sebastian<\/a> and Nico, and it features an evocative performance by Ryan Hurst<\/a> of The Walking Dead<\/em>, God of War: Ragnar\u00f6k<\/em> and Sons of Anarchy<\/em>.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, the group released their second single of 2025, \u201cImpose<\/a>,\u201d which Loudwire<\/a> described as \u201chypotonic\u201d and \u201ca fairly chill five minutes of music punctuated with lyrics that are anything but relaxed.\u201d We also noted that it\u2019s an atypical tune for Bad Omens because \u201cthe pounding drums and driving guitar heard in much of [their] past material never fully arrive[s].\u201d<\/p>\n Although both songs presumably come from their upcoming fourth studio album, no further details have been given about the LP (not even its title or release date). That said, Bad Omens are still slated to play plenty more shows through the end of 2025.<\/p>\n For instance, they\u2019ll be at Aftershock<\/a> on Oct. 4 (in Sacramento, Calif.) and they’ll be heading to Europe for several performances as the year wraps up.<\/p>\n You can check out all of their upcoming tour dates\u2014 and grab some tickets \u2013 via Bad Omens\u2019 official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Going year by year, looking at the best albums in hard rock since 1970.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Loudwire Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Bad Omens Played<\/strong><\/h3>\n
