Panic was a thrash metal band from Seattle that released their only album, Epidemic, in 1991 through Metal Blade Records. Produced by Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt of Exodus, the album was recorded at Alpha Omega Studio in San Francisco and mastered by Eddy Schreyer in Hollywood. With clear Bay Area thrash influences, Epidemic delivers tight, aggressive riffs and features guest vocals from Steve "Zetro" Souza on two tracks. Despite its strong material, the band disbanded shortly after, leaving the album as a cult favorite among genre fans.
