While currently in the midst of shopping their brand new record, Money Shot through the fervent-gigs of North America, electro-outfit, Puscifer just dropped the new video for their current-cut, “The Remedy.”
Issuing a familiar Maynard James Keenan careening the mid-tempo guitar-phazed jingle and drum-romp with his inherent vocals to beseech a tearful-whimper, “The Remedy” carries a familiar wrestling theme seen in his previous, “Money Shot.”
Following a prescient pattern of the band performing in a wrestling-ring and an anonymous elderly man baring a fit of nostalgia via a scrapbook of black-&-white pictures in which he was once a Luchador, the narrative unfolds imminently.
Called to don the cape and mask of his youth, the old-man in the video-narrative opens a metal-type briefcase similar to the case presented in “Money Shot.” While the parallels seem to build, the scope is still ambiguous in nature. Such is the tendency by Keenan’s own altruistic hand.
The third installment from a band increasingly elusive under their own conception, Money Shot was recorded in both North Hollywood, CA and Jerome, AZ last spring under the production-helms of guitar-slinger/programmer, Mat Mitchell and the ever-eccentric frontman, Maynard James Keenan, himself.
Maynard divulges his take on preparing the new album:
“I don’t really know how else to talk about it other than it’s more. It really is kind of a culmination of all the things I’ve been exposed to and inspired by over the years. That combination of the digital programming combined with that acoustic element of the harmonies…. Trying to find that actual pulse, that breath of life within the digital landscape – and then just going ahead and bringing it in for real.”
