Marcin Unleashes A “PANICATTACK,”
Marcin, the Polish-born guitar innovator hailed by Guitar World as “one of the most talented guitarists of his generation,” is ushering in a new era with “PANICATTACK,” out today. Created in collaboration with fellow guitarist and co-producer RJ Pasin, the new single marks the first time Marcin both sings and plays guitar on a release, and introduces a heavier, darker, and more visceral sound than anything he has released before.
Driven by rapid-fire guitar passages and explosive percussive rhythms, “PANICATTACK” brings together elements of metal, flamenco, and electronic music, pairing Marcin’s intricate playing with his own vocals as the track moves through moments of tension and release. The result is a restless, physical sound that puts rhythm as much as melody at the forefront. The track reunites Marcin with Pasin following their 2025 collaboration “Art of Guitar,” which has earned more than 20 million streams and was the highest-streaming instrumental track of 2025. “PANICATTACK” builds on that creative chemistry while placing boundary-pushing guitar at the center of Marcin’s bold new musical and visual identity, built around black, white, silver, and Polish-flag red.
That vision takes shape in the accompanying music video, set in an abandoned, decaying office building in Warsaw. Marcin assumes the role of puppet master, using his guitar and music to control five dancers like marionettes. With choreography by Will West, whose credits include Jungle, Ariana Grande’s “yes, and?,” and Wicked, the video explores the idea of people as cogs in the corporate machine, bringing its themes of power and control to life through movement.
On the making of the track and its accompanying video, Marcin says: “PANICATTACK is a song that I’ve been working on for almost two years, which is really unusual for me. It’s a song I’ve played at dozens of shows around the world and has been heard in many different versions. I’m so happy that it’s coming out because it’s a very new and unexpected sound. This is the first time I’m using my voice as an instrument, and it’s a big change for me.
The video is also the biggest one I’ve done. We had amazing dancers and amazing choreography by Will West, and I was very blessed to direct the video and bring my own vision to life, which I’m so proud of. I can’t wait to kickstart this new era and new sound with this piece of music.”
“PANICATTACK” follows Marcin’s Live Sessions EP, released in July, which captured nine live studio performances spanning original compositions and arrangements of classical works. The project included a new version of “Art of Guitar” featuring renowned Brazilian guitarist and composer Yamandu Costa. While that project showcased Marcin’s extraordinary technical skills, “PANICATTACK” finds him exploring new territory as an artist and composer, building on a body of work already championed by the likes of Madonna, J Balvin, and Tom Morello.
