Born somewhere in the Arizona desert, Puscifer is an electro-rock band, multimedia experience, traveling circus, and alien abduction survivors. The group’s catalog consists of three full-length studio albums —“V” is for Vagina [2007], Conditions of My Parole [2011], Money Shot [2015], and Existential Recknoning [2020] — in addition to a series of EPs and remixes.
Puscifer are set to release the final installment of the Existential Reckoning cycle next year with ‘Existential Reckoning – Re-Wired’. The album features remixed and reimagined versions of 'Existential Reckoning' album tracks from the likes of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon), Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens Of The Stone Age), Tony Hajjar (At The Drive In), Phantogram, and more.
Beyond the core trio of Maynard James Keenan [vocals], Mat Mitchell [guitar, production], and Carina Round [vocals, songwriting], the group’s ever-evolving ecosystem encompasses a cast of characters such as Billy D and his wife Hildy Berger, Major Douche, Special Agent Dick Merkin, and many more.
Meanwhile, the moniker’s origins can be traced to a 1995 episode of the HBO classic Mr. Show where Keenan first utilized the name “Puscifer.” In addition to tallying tens of millions of streams and views, they’ve piqued the curiosity of press. Entertainment Weekly christened them, “Exceptionally groovy,” and Revolver fittingly described them as “indescribable.”
'Existential Reckoning' is Puscifer’s fourth studio album, released in 2020. It’s one of the band’s most cohesive concept records—an electro-art-rock journey wrapped in alien mythology, dystopian satire, and existential introspection. The album blends Puscifer’s trademark humor and strangeness with an unexpectedly eerie, synthetic, and meticulously produced sound palette.
