AlphaWhores is an alternative rock and metal duo from Panama, Central America, formed by Massiel Pinzón and Juan Carlos García de Paredes.
AlphaWhores released their critically acclaimed second album, ‘You Can Come Out Now’ in June 2025, which includes the singles “Bloodsport”, Beautiful Music, Awful Person” and “Pirate Mode”. The new album is available to listen to or buy on vinyl now and exclusive new merchandise will be available at the shows.
Says AlphaWhores about the new album:
“You Can Come Out Now” is a bold, emotionally charged journey through the fragile terrains of identity, mental health, betrayal, rage, and resilience. Each track reveals a different facet of human vulnerability, from quiet inner chaos to explosive catharsis. The album refuses to shy away from discomfort—it embraces it, shaping raw experience into sound. It’s a reckoning and a release, a sonic shedding of old skin to make space for something more honest, more awake. This isn’t music for the faint-hearted. It’s music for those who’ve been to the edge and came back louder.”
Massiel and Juan Carlos started working together over twenty years ago when they were both members of the Panama based alternative rock band Mabí and they’ve collaborated on various musical projects since then. In 2021, following the end of longstanding personal relationships for them both, Massiel and Juan Carlos found themselves in the studio together jamming and making new music, as a way to help them process the changes happening in their lives. The studio sessions were so successful that they decided to make it into a new music project and AlphaWhores was born. On the band’s name, Massiel and Juan Carlos say: “Our name is a play on words from the Spanish word alfajores, which are pastries very common in South America. It’s just a joke for whoever gets it, and some people have lol. Not trying to be edgy or off-putting, rather just silly.” AlphaWhores released their debut about, I (‘one’), in January 2024 preceded by the singles ‘Same Team’, ‘Raw Nerve’, and ‘GTO.’ With limited promotion the album has spread organically via word of mouth in the rock and metal community worldwide.
