Panic Priest is the solo project of Chicago-based musician and singer Jack Armondo, a dark crooner whose music is a blend of post-punk, darkwave, and synth-pop elements. Armondo, widely known for his distinctive deep baritone voice and atmospheric soundscapes, launched Panic Priest with a self-titled debut album in 2018 under Negative Gain Productions. The sound of Panic Priest is characterized by haunting vocals, shimmering guitars, and lush synthesizer work, creating an evocative soundscape that feels both nostalgic and modern.

Since the self-titled debut, Panic Priest has continued to captivate listeners with a series of releases that demonstrate Armondo's skill in crafting mood and melody. The 2020 album "Second Seduction" continued to build on the project's themes of love, loss, and longing, further solidifying Panic Priest's place within the darker realms of the alternative music scene. Songs like "Psychogoria," "Self Control," and "ANGELSTEAL" see Panic Priest delving into more complex arrangements and emotional lyricism, showcasing a maturing artistry. Additionally, Armondo has collaborated with other artists and producers, as evident in remixes like "Lonely City (Nite Remix)" and "Shiver and Crawl (Visceral Anatomy Remix)." These collaborations, along with his original tracks, contribute to the rich and evolving tapestry of Panic Priest's discography.
