Bad Omens and Poppy have teamed up on their new high-octane collaboration ‘V.A.N.’ – watch the video below.The Virginia metalcore band teased their new song days ago when they wiped their social media, leaving only snippets with Poppy as a trace.

Now, the pair have unveiled their new song – and an accompanying video to match.‘V. A. N.’ (‘Violence Against Nature’) is a punishing track that sees Poppy take on the persona of a humanoid, as she attempts to break out of a laboratory. “You’ve been running from me, the digital second coming / And I’m here whether you like it or not”, Poppy intones menacingly.Frontman Noah Sebastien says about the track: “That’s a song that started just with the hook ‘Violence against nature’, and then after saving the project with the acronym and seeing it we realized it could be fun to think of ‘VAN’ as a name.

Thus the rabbit hole of ideas began that led us to decide to write lyrics from the perspective of an artificial intelligence gone rogue.”The song is also the first teaser to the band’s forthcoming project ‘CONCRETE FOREVER’, also known as ‘CONCRETE JUNGLE OST’.
