FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Worldwide Panic Unleash Explosive New Album “The Greatest Villain The World Has Ever Seen”
Hard rock and industrial- tinged metal outfit Worldwide Panic have returned with their most ambitious release yet. The band’s new album, “ The Greatest Villain The World Has Ever Seen,” officially dropped March 13 , delivering a crushing blend of Alt Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and Industrial intensity that pushes the band’s sound further than ever before.
Known for their electrifying and theatrical live performances, Worldwide Panic have built a reputation for delivering high- energy shows that keep audiences on edge from start to finish. Drawing influence from heavy hitters like Rammstein , Disturbed , and Five Finger Death Punch , the band crafts a sound that blends crushing riffs, industrial textures, and powerful melodic hooks into something both aggressive and accessible.
The Greatest Villain The World Has Ever Seen represents a major step forward for the band creatively. Packed with cinematic storytelling and thunderous instrumentation, the album explores themes of power, corruption, internal conflict, and the blurred lines between hero and villain in the modern world. It’s a concept that feels both timely and timeless, delivered through a sonic assault that balances raw intensity with polished production.
Two singles from the record, “ Break Me Down” and “ Below It All,” have already made a strong impact, both landing on the SMR Top 40 charts , giving fans an early glimpse into the ferocity and depth of the new material.
The album’s title track stands as the centerpiece of the release, combining relentless rhythm, soaring vocals, and cinematic tension to drive home the album’s central narrative. From arena- ready anthems to darker, heavier moments, the record showcases the band’s versatility while maintaining the powerful edge fans have come to expect.
“ This is our most ambitious record to date,” the band explains. “ We worked really hard to not copy anything we have done before and instead create an eclectic cornucopia of songs that tell a story. Please join us in embracing our inner ‘ bad guy’ and get ready for the era of The Villain .”
Worldwide Panic first made waves with their self- titled debut album released in 2023 , which was mastered by renowned producer Chris “ Zeuss” Harris ( known for work with artists like Rob Zombie and others across the heavy music world). The record found success at Active Rock radio with singles “ I Tried” and “ Falling Apart,” both charting on the Billboard Rock Indicator and SMR charts .
The band has shared stages with acts including Flaw , Smile Empty Soul , Hellzapoppin’ , Mushroomhead , and The Convalescence , while also completing multiple headlining tours over the last several years. With the new album now unleashed, Worldwide Panic are preparing for a new round of touring expected to begin late spring 2026 .
Produced by legendary rock producer Bob Marlette and mastered by Chris ‘Zeuss’ Harris , The Greatest Villain The World Has Ever Seen captures the band firing on all cylinders and stepping into a bold new chapter.
Fans can expect not just an album, but a full- throttle experience that blurs the line between hero and villain while delivering a soundtrack that is loud, unapologetic, and unforgettable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pacific Northwest Death Metal Force Paralicyst Unleashes Crushing New Single “Conjure The Flames”
Release Date: January 27, 2026
Streaming: https://ditto.fm/conjure-the-flames
The Pacific Northwest underground continues to prove why it’s one of the most fertile breeding grounds for extreme metal as Paralicyst unleashes their blistering new single “ Conjure The Flames.” Delivering a relentless dose of old school brutality and modern ferocity, the track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Forged in the chaos of 2019, Paralicyst emerged from the PNW metal scene with a mission to channel the raw power and uncompromising spirit of classic death metal. Drawing inspiration from titans like Obituary, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse, the band blends punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and savage vocal assaults into a sound that feels both nostalgic and devastatingly fresh.
The band’s early formation included guitarist Ray Eversole ( Cruciation, Tormentium), bassist Nik Harris ( Digitalviolence, Monday With A Bullet, In The Name of God), and drummer Greg Kholer ( Gods in Graves, Cruciation, Father Figure, CIA Hippie Mind Control). In 2022 the lineup solidified with Lou of Malevolent Supremacy and Lude joining on vocals, further sharpening the band’s sonic assault.
In 2024, Mikey Murderz ( Sakrificer, Innocent Blood) stepped in to take command of vocal duties, bringing a vicious new edge to the band’s sound while also handling the recording, mixing, and mastering duties for their latest material.
“ Conjure The Flames” represents the first taste of Paralicyst’s current era and serves as a preview of the band’s upcoming debut EP, currently in production and expected later this year. With Murderz overseeing the entire production process, the track captures a raw, unfiltered intensity that pays tribute to death metal’s golden age while pushing the band’s sound forward.
Now operating in their strongest lineup yet, Paralicyst is poised to carve their mark into the underground with an unrelenting barrage of riffs, blast beats, and infernal energy.
Fans of Obituary, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse should prepare themselves. The flames have been conjured.
