Interview with Noah Sebastian (Bad Omens)

[@_Swillyz_]

My favorite part of the entire interview is watching Noah open up. Starts out all calm, uninterested, rockstar-esc and ends up happy, talkative, and on the edge of his seat. Love it. Well done.

[@summern8157]

I remember one time seeing an interviewer remark that they had been told Noah was a difficult interviewee, and I feel like this video really showcased the difference between a good and a bad interviewer. Someone who is shy/introverted can easily come across a bit aloof (like Noah can in interviews imo) when in reality they’re just uncomfortable. A good interviewer like Pablo knows how to make them comfortable and pull them out of their shell.

[@millykay3209]

@@summern8157 I absolutely agree, my favourite interview I’ve seen with him was one he did with “state of the scene” it was so lovely seeing him joke around and open up, he’s not rude or difficult he’s just introverted and shy so of course it’s uncomfortable for him to have strangers pry on his life, I’m very much introverted and I have been told a few times that I come across as rude but it’s due to discomfort

[@fuchsssz]

i sense that interviews are one of the least favourite parts of his job lol. Being sociable to strangers

[@teresadiaz1024]

I love listening to Noah's interviews... he's just such a genuine person. I love how excited he gets around 20:30.

[@natasha.syberia]

"Selling out is doing something I don't wanna do" He is so into what he is doing, it is exciting to watch.

[@cheri618]

Noah talking about The Grey made me love the song even more. They put so much care and time into each song on this album. I know they did a livestream on Veeps and talked about the album but I would love for them to go into more details about it one day because I know there’s probably a lot more to know. I love hearing artists talk so passionately about the music they make.

[@leodanysperezreyes1145]

Noah seams like a chill dude to kick it with, he’s vocal range is insane.

[@MistyHenryMisty]

yes 1005 agree love it

[@samleah91]

This mans mind is something else.. his talent is so raw and his thoughts are so deep...

[@MrJdub322]

There are a lot of parallels between Noah’s/Bad Omens outlook on the creative process and Linkin Park. Both self produced, both think outside the box, and the selling out part was spot on , their always evolving and yet still very aware of what’s going on around them . Bad Omens will be a headliner one day, these guys are the real deal TDOPOM speaks for itself . Thank you for the interview!

[@natasha.syberia]

0:23 last time the guys met (a show in Minneapolis); 0:45 congrats on the record; 1:23 how long did it take you to put all of the 15 songs together? 2:53 the evolution in sound: was it a conscious effort? 5:17 when did the decision to produce all the work yourselves come to be? 9:01 how do you know when a song is done? 11:30 are you ani-radio? 14:20 how does it feel to go up the chart? 18:01 what is your favourite songs on TDOPOM? 18:37 where the idea for this kind of singing in The Death of Peace of Mind (the songs) came from? 19:38 every songs is like watching a film; 20:43 about treatments for the videos on TDOPOF; 22:44 about Artificial suicide; 23:28 'we're shooting a new video tomorrow'; 23:50 about the Grey (an easter egg in the song); 25:22 what is that sound in the Grey where it sounds like water dropping? 26:04 how did the cover for TDOPOM come to be? 30:13 how do you deal with playing on festival during the day in the sun? you're welcome

[@emamarcela354]

Thank you! ☺️

@@emamarcela354 you're sure welcome :)

[@mixmotion603]

Thanks a lot :)

[@vanhinz269]

The fact that he and Joelly produced this album is even better. I love all their albums and this one is particularly hitting me hard. Nice to see Bad Omens becoming so well known.

[@nik7376]

It's great to see that this band is finally getting the recognition they deserve. TDOPOM is a masterpiece and Noah & Jolly are incredibly talented :)

[@janeliu5316]

Honestly I've been listening to it front to back every day since it came out 🤘❤️

[@rochelkatz4868]

Wow such a great interview. My mind was blown when they were talking about the notes in "The Grey". How a note is just the slightest bit off, and using a piece from a Sprite commercial. Wow! Noah is a genius in coming up with the randomest sounds and tools to use in a record. I can't wait to hear them sing "The Grey" live. I want to see them in concert so bad.

[@strayfal]

This sprite thing reminded me of the elephant sound Bring me the horizon used in Teardrops

[@janeliu5316]

I saw The Grey live and it's changed my life 😭 already wondering if they'll play it in August I'll be there 🤘❤️

[@donaldverhota7503]

I got my tickets for skyway here in Minneapolis so amped

[@stephanydiaz4324]

Amazing record! Can’t believe I did not know about these guys beforehand, almost ashamed lol. Noah’s voice is insane and the range he has- glad he felt free to explore it. Can’t wait to hear more from Noah and this band!

[@Jason-dz4hi]

Artificial Suicide EP.. WHAT?? YEEEEESSSSS

[@ash7036]

great interview! i appreciate how invested in the conversation pablo was, cause sometimes interviewers don’t allow the conversation to flow very naturally

[@NukaEatsPepeni]

Now that I heard Noah talk about the band it makes sense why I'm into their music. I hope they'll schedule a show in London soon.

[@UknownuserUnknownuser]

Same dude

[@natasha.syberia]

Dreams come true, huh)

[@carike84k]

Noah is meticulous when it comes to detail and this shows in all his work.

[@marichiarra8495]

From the lives I’ve watched on KZbin of Bad Omens, I definitely prefer the indoor (shrouded) ones to the outdoor ones. It’s more concentrated, intense, the fans are more focused, the sound, I just love them.

[@ВикаГубочкина]

Thank you for the interview! So many interesting details. I liked this record so much, have been listening over and over again. And, yeah, Concrete Jungle and The death of peace of mind are fantastic. Love it so much. I think Noah is incredibly talented. I wish him and his band all the best. Bad Omens makes amazing music. And Noah, as far as I know from the interviews or his live streams, is a very nice, kind, clever person who is sincere in his music. His voice is something extraordinary, really. So cool.

[@NukaEatsPepeni]

I absolutely love the ambiguity in their songs, The Grey can be equally a love song, or a conversation with God.. It's my favorite song on this album.

[@Jackieb741]

Noah has said he’s an atheist.

[@kimberlytomlinson9464]

​@@Jackieb741He said he doesn't know what he believes.

[@Jackieb741]

@@kimberlytomlinson9464 no he’s said he definitely doesn’t believe and he’s an atheist. It’s literally on camera. He then told fans not to believe what he believes just cause he doesn’t believe in it and he doesn’t care if people do.

[@jonathanmoose757]

This guy is a great interviewer. I truly enjoyed this.

[@renaray5122]

LOVE Noah. We need more interviews

[@ElTigrre8]

Pablo is a great interviewer. Made the interview flow well, and you could really tell he enjoys the music so the artist opens up more.

[@SammieSvana]

You're an amazing interviewer, thank you for breaking down the details for us! These process make me appreciate the songs more for knowing how it produced. That was a fun talk to listen to.

[@janeliu5316]

Wow so many surprises in this interview. I can't imagine having a voice like Noah's and ever trying to hide it behind layers of other sounds 👁️👄👁️

[@hikkipedia]

I KNEW THAT WAS A CAN OPENING

[@DrxkFNFL]

Agree. This album is brilliant! Definitely a new favorite band!

[@alexflor]

been waiting for noah to talk about this record in depth like this! makes me appreciate this insane album so much more. such an amazing interview and so satisfying and fucking awesome to see someone just as excited and feels so similarly about this record to ask these questions! i adore this interview so much.

[@davidnelsonbradsher1381]

Great interview. I'm hoping the new video and single he's referring to is for Just Pretend.

[@marichiarra8495]

My absolute favorite band.

[@lisam.b.-a.1670]

Absolutely amazing band… Every song on TDOPOM is perfection. Noah’s vocals are such a gift to experience. I honestly listen to them daily. ❤️

[@tecn0phreak]

loved this interview, i just discovered The grey. and then another. and another. and another like pablo said, all in a row, all from the death of peace of mind. Noahs point about the building crescendo in the songs is exactly what happened to me and grabbed my interest, its all just so powerful.

[@marcusblenn5824]

I really love this album and some of the lyrics. I didn't know the band, then my brother sent me a song and I was totally amazed by Noah's voice, I think it's a very successful overall work. Keep it up :-) I hope there will be a concert in Germany someday

[@dead_beatbunny]

Noah: Strings are something you can tell is fake. Even if it doesn't bother you, you can still tell. Me, a violin player for almost 30 years: ...It bothers me. 😂

[@shilohivy4590]

I could listen to him all day. He’s wonderful

[@richardjones38]

I was wondering what the 'splash' sound The Grey was the day before watching this, thinking it's such an unusual sound to get in a metal song. I thought it sounded like the kind of exaggerated pouring liquid sound you'd get in an advert, and here is Noah explaining that it's sampled from a Sprite advert! One of my favourite albums of 2022.

[@carissa6145]

Absolutely TDOPOM is an amazing album. gr8 interview. love u Noah! love Bad Omens.

[@giselesilva9893]

This interview is so awesome. I've been listening non-stop The Death of Peace of Mind album. Thank you so much for spending this time to show us more about how that album was made. Hugs from a Brazilian fan ^-^

[@arun09345]

I have a few favourites on the record & listening to the process of Death Of Peace of Mind & Concrete Jungle, it's insanely clear the motive & ideology about the songs. They're both 2 of my favourite sounding songs along with IDWT$, The Grey & Nowhere To Go. I blast these songs in my car daily. I feel like experimental music is very undervalued but experimentation to any piece of art is actually the most valuable thing. The idea from Noah is also great, what music do you listen to in different situations of life, even in a small daily car journey? I am very excited for Bad Omens & their experimentation on future releases. I heard their previous work before this release, but this album is definitely the right direction for them to take, very well done boys! Went from a casual listener to a big fan & follower.

I LOVE when he talks about Artificial Suicide! It really expresses how he feels about Social Media and why he decided to commit an artificial sucide from it all 🤣 I never paid much attention on the lyrics because its such a heavy song, but it just makes me love it even more

[@naty2606]

Yassss

[@emmaphilo4049]

Noah is an insanely talented vocalist. His voice deserves to be heard in a pure, not too edited way. Even on this album, it still slighltly too edited Nostalgic me would love a proper nu metal album, like a revival The album is really interesting I hope they will produce even more music and will continue explore Great interview ! Thank you so much

[@Jackieb741]

Listen to their unplugged album! He did some of the recording on twitch and it sounds the same. His voice is just brilliant

[@hayster9]

He lewk so handsome heer

[@rochelkatz4868]

I'm so curious which video they are shooting

[@jesserentas7425]

This bands entire album has been my go too these last few months the lyrics resonate too deep I've been going through a rough divorce

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Noah is so wise. His creativity & attention to detail remind me of Ronnie Radke. Obviously his personality & persona are very different but his musicianship & artistic drive are definitely similar (which is a good thing)- particularly his willingness to continually reinvent himself musically.
