Bad Omens have dropped another new song this time with the brooding ‘Left For Good’ which sees the band mix their sound with some industrial electronic elements before hitting a crushing breakdown.  The track marks the fourth new release from the band this year, and a striking continuation of their evolution as one of the most forward-thinking forces in modern rock.

This continues the bands upwards rise with 2026 being the biggest for the band yet as they have a US arena tour which is selling fast with many dates sold out already.

“Left For Good” follows a run of singles that have solidified the band’s dominance across both streaming and radio. Their cinematic first single “Specter” became their fastest climb to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase Active Rock charts, also reaching #15 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart and amassing over 54 million global streams.

The previous release, the anthemic “Dying To Love”, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, while quickly becoming one of the most added tracks at Rock Radio, debuting at #33 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.

Slayer will be celebrating 40 years of ‘Hell Awaits’ in 2026 and has now announced a massive reissue for the legendary album. The band will release a massive 3LP box set that will include a reissue of the album, a full live album from 1985, a book, posters, and tons of replicated items from that era.

The reissue arrives May 15th, 2026 in three physical formats and digitally. Pre-orders are available now at: metalblade.com/slayer

“It’s the record where SLAYER became SLAYER.” That’s what Kerry King says about Hell Awaits. And he knows of what he speaks. As the band’s guitarist, co-songwriter, and co-lyricist, he was in the trenches with vocalist/bassist Tom Araya, guitarist Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.), and drummer Dave Lombardo, creating what has become one of heavy metal’s greatest albums.
