Brendon Urie has revealed that Panic! At The Disco could be releasing a metal project sometime soon.

Speaking with Rock Sound, Urie discussed his desire to keep their music diverse, which it certainly is already. Each album has a different sound but Urie says he wants to branch out further.

“I always feel as though I need to be more diverse,” he revealed to Rock Sound. “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,” he added, “and maybe that’ll happen as time goes on.”

He later revealed that one genre he is hoping to try out, in particular, is metal.

“I want to do a metal project in particular,” he revealed. “I actually just played something for my bandmates 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.”

He added: “Who knows, I might even put that out on SoundCloud on a whim sometime soon!”
