Info for Viva Las Vengeance

„VIVA LAS VENGEANCE“, rufen Panic! At The Disco – und kündigen die Veröffentlichung ihres siebten Studioalbums für den 19. August an! Die neueste Ära der Grammy-nominierten, international vielfach Platin-ausgezeichneten Band beginnt schon heute, mit dem Titeltrack des kommenden Albums. Der hymnische, treibende Song wird von einem offiziellen Musikvideo begleitet, das unter der Regie von Brendan Walter gedreht wurde, angestammter Kreativpartner der Band (u.a. „High Hopes”). Unten gibt es den Clip zu sehen.

Für die Arbeit am ersten neuen Album seit „Pray For The Wicked“ vor vier Jahren schlug Frontmann/Songwriter Brendon Urie eine etwas andere Marschrichtung ein: Zusammen mit seinen Freunden und Produktionspartnern Jake Sinclair und Mike Viola schnitt er alles live auf Bandgerät mit – eine leinwandgroße musikalische Reise, die vom Ausleben der eigenen Jugend und dem Auskosten jedes einzelnen Tages ebenso handelt wie der Gefahr, dabei langfristig auszubrennen – ein schmaler Grat, den Urie mit persönlichen, nachdenklichen Texten auslotet und damit einen Blick auf seine inzwischen weit über zehnjährige Karriere wirft, auf den Einfluss seiner Geburtsstadt Las Vegas, auf Liebe und das Leben mit dem Ruhm.

„‘Viva Las Vengeance‘ blickt zurück auf mein 17-jähriges Ich und auf den Mann, der ich heute bin, und das mit einer Zärtlichkeit, die ich zuvor nicht hatte. Mir war nicht bewusst, dass ich da gerade ein Album aufnehme und das Bandgerät hatte irgendetwas an sich, das mich zur Wahrhaftigkeit anhielt“, kommentiert Brendon Urie den Prozess.

Panic! At The Disco

Panic! At The Disco The members of Panic! at the Disco had barely graduated high school when their full-length debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, transformed the suburban Las Vegas teens into national emo-pop stars. The band had materialized several years earlier, when friends Spencer Smith (drums) and Ryan Ross (guitar) began covering blink-182 tunes together. After tiring of playing another group's material, they recruited two additional classmates, guitar/vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson, and the newly formed quartet decided to model its name after a line in Name Taken's "Panic." Crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical touches, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, Panic! at the Disco posted several demos online that caught the attention of Decaydance Records, the Fueled by Ramen imprint headed by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. Even though Panic! at the Disco had yet to play a live show, they subsequently became the first band signed to Wentz's label.

With their record scheduled for release in September 2005, Panic! at the Disco joined the successful Nintendo Fusion Tour and hit the road alongside Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Boys Night Out, and the Starting Line. The band continued touring into early 2006, while its single "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" found its way onto MTV and the Billboard Top 40. Proving to be a popular lineup, the Nintendo tour consistently sold out venues across the country. Wilson was fired from the group mid-year; undaunted, Panic! pressed on with their friend Jon Walker on board for a full summer tour that culminated with appearances at the Lollapalooza, Reading, and Leeds festivals. The guys picked up a Video of the Year award at MTV's annual VMA ceremony, beating out heavy hitters like Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a collector's box set version of Fever (featuring random Panic! paraphernalia and a DVD) came out just in time for the 2006 holiday season.

After additional tour dates, the bandmembers announced that they were eliminating the exclamation point from their name, a sign that seemed to foreshadow the mature, less emo-driven rock featured on Pretty. Odd. Released in March 2008, the sophomore album peaked at number two in the U.S. and showcased an evolving band whose tastes had grown to encompass the Beatles' psychedelic pop. The group supported the album with another round of shows, one of which was captured on the CD/DVD release ...Live in Chicago. The group took a hit in June 2009, though, when Walker and Ross left the lineup in order to form their own band, the Young Veins. Urie and Smith soldiered in the studio as a duo, though they did fill the holes in their touring lineup with Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes. In 2011 the band released their third studio album, Vices & Virtues.

This album contains no booklet.
