"The Death of Peace of Mind" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American alternative metal band Bad Omens.
Speaking to Kerrang!, Noah Sebastian stated that the song's writing process started at the beginning of the quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 as an experiment to use as many samples using household objects: "This track didn’t have much deliberation behind the lyrics at first and was more of a flow-state writing experience.
Smacking pillows, shaking keys, recording and tuning the low frequency of a vacuum cleaner to a C note and making a multi octave sampler out of it.
After a few hours of tinkering in my DAW [digital audio workstation] I had made an instrumental with all these sounds.
After countless loops the noises shaped into vowels, which shaped into consonants, and then words that ultimately felt very native to the dark, dry and sensual core of the instrumental and didn’t need much tweaking once the real instrumental was realised around them.
