The new track will be featured on the upcoming Bad Omens album The Death of Peace of Mind
Two months after dropping the album title track, fragile and somber ‘The Death of Peace of Mind’, Bad Omens are releasing a bitter, rebellious single ‘Artificial Suicide’. Both tracks are featured on the band’s upcoming album, due out Feb 25 via Sumerian Records.
In its fierce revenge-driven nature, ‘Artificial Suicide’ is almost an antipode of the previous single, ‘The Death of Peace of Mind’. The band are rebelling against being treated like a commodity, just another figure in a heartless machine:
Well we’re not gonna be a commodity
Not another maggot in the feed that you’re gonna eat
Motherf–er, you can try
Artificial suicide
Eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
Lighting molotov’s for the broken youth…

In the official press release, Bad Omens underlined that this time they were working on the album without thinking of anyone’s expectations, and the recording process changed them on a personal and artistic level:
“Making the record changed us as songwriters and musicians. In many ways, I feel like it set me free as an artist because every decision made in the writing process was for myself, with no fear for anyone else’s expectations of what our third album should sound like. Be it our fans or our record label.”
