Omen is the third EP by American metalcore band Within the Ruins. It was released on May 24, 2011 through Victory Records.[1] It features two new songs and two covers. Omen would be the band's last release featuring Mike Beaujean on bass and Jay Van Schelt on guitar. Additionally, it would be the last release to feature two guitarists, with Cocchi taking over sole guitar duties in the third studio album Elite. It would also be the band's last release for Victory Records, as they would go on to sign with eOne Music and Good Fight Music in November 2012.[2]
Following Omen's initial release, Victory Records released limited edition vinyl pressings in three colors, all of which included an MP3 download card. Of the three colors offered, only 600 red, 300 green, and 100 "clear with black smoke" were pressed.[3]
On October 11, 2011, the band released a music video for the song "Controller". The video featured scenes of the band performing the song and performing a Reservoir Dogs–inspired getaway scene.[4]
