"Specter" is a single by American heavy metal band Bad Omens, released in August 2025 through Sumerian Records. It marks the band's first solo release since their 2022 album The Death of Peace of Mind and the companion EP Concrete Jungle (The OST) (2024).
Prior to release, the band teased "Specter" with cryptic social media posts featuring the phrase "goodbye, friend" and surreal visuals, including a child in a ghost costume interacting with actor Ryan Hurst. [1]
The music video, directed by Noah Sebastian and Nico, features psychological horror inspired visuals with gothic and surreal imagery, emphasizing themes of loss, betrayal, and the supernatural. [2] [ original research? ]
Blabbermouth stated the song "builds into a passionate, hard-hitting chorus, complete with ominous, otherworldly electronic flourishes that provide dynamic layers to the song." [3]
