Dying To Love

"Dying To Love" frames love as an obsessive, corrosive force. The love here doesn't heal or redeem; it devours. Passion and self-destruction blur until they're essentially the same thing. It's not unlike the emotional pressure cooker Bad Omens frontman Noah Sebastian has explored elsewhere, as in the suffocating dread of "Specter."

Sebastian wrote and produced the song with Bad Omens guitarist Joakim Karlsson and producer Michael Taylor ("Specter," "Impose"). "We wrote it just vocal and guitar from start to finish," Sebastian told BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders. "Then built the production around it, which is pretty rare for us, pretty cool." They stayed up until 5 a.m., finished the song overnight, and ironed out the remaining kinks over the next few days.

Sebastian directed the video alongside filmmaker Nico Poalillo (their third collaboration following "Specter" and "Impose"). We see the band perform inside the pit of a condemned brutalist structure, watched by ominous, silent spectators, while a parallel storyline follows a man wandering an endless labyrinth of darkness.
