Puscifer is going it alone in 2026.
After two years of touring as ‘Sessanta’ with co-headliners Primus and Maynard James Keenan’s other group A Perfect Circle, the experimental rockers have booked their ‘Normal Isn’t Tour’ in support of their forthcoming fifth studio album with the same name.
While out and about, they’ll rock New York City’s Terminal 5 on Tuesday, April 7 and Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort on Saturday, April 11.
“We’re definitely leaning into our early influences,” Keenan, 61, said in a press release about the record, which hits shelves on Feb. 6. “It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.”
In tandem with the tour and album announcement, the “The Humbling River” trio dropped the nervy lead single “Self Evident.”
Prior to this record’s release — which features contributions from Tool’s Danny Carey, King Crimson’s Tony Levin and Ian Ross — the band’s last full offering excluding live albums and singles was 2020’s “Existential Reckoning.”
“…the music on ‘Existential Reckoning’ is superb,” Kerrang noted in a four-star review. “But should you attempt to get under the skin and solve the puzzles within, there are vast riches to be had. You’ll never totally figure them out, but Puscifer remain a truly delightful mystery that is, in some ways, best left unsolved.”
As for their ‘Sessanta’ run, Keenan and co. impressed fans with the group’s one-of-a-kind showmanship onstage.
“[They] brought that creepy tribal weird vibe with the chanting harmonized vocals of Carina Round and Maynard together,” Ghost Cult Mag reported. “Their music is so unique in its ability to balance this hermetic mystical aura with Punk-Metal and dancy aggression and hysterical prepubescent humor.”

Puscifer new music
Ahead of the release of “Normal Isn’t,” Puscifer unveiled the lead single “Self Evident.”
The pulsing four-minute track lives up to band member Mat Mitchell’s claim that they were after an “element of rawness and edge” and “more aggressiveness.”
This is achieved through piercing guitar, menacing vocals (from both Keenan and Carina Round) and thrumming drums. By our estimation, the tune is heavy, fun and absolutely thrilling.
To hear for yourself, you can find “Self Evident” here.
