Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie recently livestreamed a ‘metal’ version of the band’s song “The Calendar” which he seems to claim to have done back in 2010. You can watch him debut that via a Twitch session below. Urie previously told Rock Sound of his hopes to go into a metal/rock direction with a new project:
“I always feel as though I need to be more diverse. Yes, all of the Panic! albums do sound different and have their own vibe, their own aesthetic and imagery, but I still feel like I can do more. Even from song to song within one album I feel like things could change even more drastically, and maybe that’ll happen as time goes on. I still have so many different things that I want to do, particularly in terms of genres.”
“I want to do a metal project in particular. I actually just played something for my band mates recently – we have an old song called ‘The Calendar’ and I made a metal version of it from years back. It’s like 90 seconds long and is really fun. Who knows, I might even put that out on SoundCloud on a whim some time soon!”
Urie has of course flirted with heavier music in the past, including his cameo on Every Time I Die‘s “It Remembers“.
