Dear Omen are an Amsterdam gothic rock trio, formed in 2021, who have carved out a firm place in the Dutch gothic and post-punk scene. Their sound pairs a growling bass and driving drums with deep Farfisa organ and dramatic vocals; live, the band surrounds itself with candles and cobwebs for a fully theatrical effect. Through the Popronde circuit and festival slots at Into the Great Wide Open and ESNS, they have become one of the more striking new acts in Dutch alternative music.
Dear Omen released their second EP 'Dystopian Lament' on June 18, 2026, a five-track record that combines ideas from 2020 with new material.
