Punk Statik Paranoia is the third album by industrial rock band Orgy. It was released on February 24, 2004, their first independent recording.
The album's style is a departure from the electronic rock sound that was present in Candyass and Vapor Transmission, leaning more to an aggressive nu metal sound similar to bands like Korn and Linkin Park. It is also the first Orgy album to feature occasional screaming vocals.
There are four different versions of the album, the final release in 2004 and an advance version used for promotion dated to 2003, each of which have an explicit and clean variant. The advance versions are missing some elements that were added before the final release. All versions feature the same track list.[3][4]
Sales and chart performance
[edit]Punk Statik Paranoia debuted at #11 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.[5] The album sold 5,353 copies during its first week of release.[6]
