V.A.NBAD OMENS x POPPY
“V.A.N” is an ambitious collaboration between BAD OMENS, a metalcore band from the United States formed in 2015, and the uniquely styled American singer Poppy.
As suggested by the subtitle “Violence Against Nature,” the lyrics vividly portray how nature is destroyed in exchange for humanity’s technological progress, steeped in a distinctly dystopian worldview.
Freshly released in January 2024, this brand-new track also serves as the lead single from BAD OMENS’ forthcoming album, Concrete Forever.
Skillfully incorporating elements of industrial metal, it’s a song where BAD OMENS’ signature hard-hitting sound meshes perfectly with Poppy’s ethereal vocals.
It’s not only a great pick for middle schoolers who love hard rock, but also a catalyst for thinking about technological advancement and environmental issues.
