Worldview is a Melodic Power Metal band that hales from the "City of Angels".  The band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2013 in memory of Rick Macias, the late Sacred Warrior keyboardist. Just two years after forming, Worldview released their debut album in 2015 titled 'The Chosen Few' on the label-M24 Music Group. The album was an All-Star project Featuring some well-known artist including Rey Parra(Sacred Warrior), Guitarist George Ochoa(Recon, Deliverance), Les Carlson(Bloodgood), Larry Farkas(Vengeance Rising/Die Happy), Oz Fox(Stryper), and Jimmy P. Brown II(Deliverance, JupiterVI). 'The Chosen Few' was a Melodic Metal project that also mixed in touches of Power Metal. The album went on to receive rave reviews from around the world. This is one of those albums that you will find yourself returning to over and over again. With each spin of the record, their debut always sounds fresh and never dated. 
       Unfortunately, after the release of Worldview's debut album, the group was not heard from leaving fans to
​wonder if there would be a follow-up album from the band.

       However, after a 10-year hiatus, Worldview once again darkened the studio doors to record material for a follow-up album.

       In 2025, a decade after 'The Chosen Few', Worldview released their full-length sophomore album titled 'Invincible' on both Pakaderm Music Group & Girder Records. With 'Invincible', the band returns to the Metal scene confirming they are a force to be reckoned with & that they are here to stay! So how does a band follow-up to and album like 'The Chosen Few' with a standard set so high? By not trying to reinvent their sound and arrangements. With this 2025 release, the band carries over some musical themes from their 2015 debut. The group just continues to do what they do best which is Melodic Metal done right and lightly seasoned with Power Metal. This is a solid second offering that includes everything that we love about Worldview including Soaring vocals, memorial guitar licks, heavy bass lines, subtle keyboards, and beastly drums.

       'Invincible' was produced by Dino Elefante(Mastedon), George Ochoa(Deliverance, Recon, Human Code), and Greg Hays. The recording was mixed, and engineer by Dino Elefante(Mastedon) and George Ochoa(Deliverance, Recon). The album's layout and design were handled by Scott Waters(Ultimatum) and the album was mastered By Bill Metoyer. 
       The track-list for 'Invincible' includes 1.Beware The Wolves 2.Invincible 3.Hauntingly Beautiful 4.Mystery Babylon 5.Vision In My Mind 6.Until We Meet Again 7.Don’t Talk To Strangers 8.Who’s To Say 9.Blindsided
10.A.I. Revolution. ​It's worth noting that track-7 is a well-done cover of Dio's 1983 song "Don't Talk To Strangers" off the 'Holy Diver' album.

       On this sophomore album, Vocalist-Rey Parra returns with his signature soaring vocals and sounds better than ever. Rey receives some additional help from vocalist-Crystal Mancaruso who does a great job of handling backing vocals and some lead vocals on track-2 'Invincible'.
