Puscifer release ‘Normal Isn’t’, their first new album in over five years, out February 6 via Puscifer Entertainment, Alchemy Recordings, and BMG. The 11-song set leans hard into post-punk roots and darker, guitar-forward terrain, pulling from the band’s earliest influences while sharpening their edge. Written and recorded across Arizona, Los Angeles, and on the road during the Sessanta tour, the album blends biting electronics, raw guitar energy, and the band’s unmistakable sense of tension and release. Lead single “Self Evident” offers an early glimpse, captured live during a special Exchange L A performance where the band previewed the record in full.
This album marks a shift in process, with Maynard James Keenan building complete song ideas independently before bringing them to Mat Mitchell and Carina Round, opening the door to spontaneity and aggression. Mitchell’s co-production emphasizes grit and immediacy, while Round notes the freedom of ideas evolving without restraint. Contributions from Tony Levin, Danny Carey, and others deepen the record’s texture, reinforcing ‘Normal Isn’t’ as a statement shaped by observation, urgency, and atmosphere rather than polish.
Alongside the album, Puscifer have announced a wide-ranging 2026 North American tour, launching March 20 in Las Vegas and closing May 14 at Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre. The run includes major stops at New York’s Terminal 5 and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, bringing the new material into large rooms built for scale and immersion.
