After a week of cryptic clues to their fans that set the internet a buzz, Grammy-nominated Panic! At The Disco today announced that their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Pray For The Wicked, will be released on June 22, 2018 via Fueled By Ramen/DCD2 Records. The album, produced by Jake Sinclair, is available for pre-order now with new single Say Amen (Saturday Night) and (Fuck A) Silver Lining. “After being away in New York for months doing Kinky Boots, I just wanted to hang out at home when I got back to LA. I was so revved up that I asked some friends to come over to my home studio to help me write about all the incredible things I’ve experienced the last couple of years,” said Brendon Urie, Panic! At The Disco frontman.”Pray For The Wicked is my ‘thank you’ to our fans and the most fun I’ve ever had making album.”
Panic! At The Disco also unleashed an accompanying music video for Say Amen (Saturday Night) directed by longtime collaborator Daniel “Cloud” Campos and Spencer Susser. The video is part of a trilogy that acts as the prequel to This Is Gospel and Emperor’s New Clothes, also directed by Cloud. P!ATD will perform the song for the first time on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tonight US time.
Pray For The Wicked follows Panic! At The Disco’s critically acclaimed fifth album, Death Of A Bachelor, which was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2017 GRAMMY® Awards.
Panic! At The Disco last toured Australia on their sold out 2017 headline tour. Most recently, frontman Brendon Urie starred as Charlie Price in the critically acclaimed Broadway hit Kinky Boots.
