Puscifer has announced that their new album Existential Reckoning is slated to be released on October 30. According to the PRP, the album will feature 12 tracks, including their previously released single “Apocalyptical,” the band’s first in five years. A new single called “The Underwhelming” also on the new album is set to be released Friday, September 18. With this album, the lineup consists of Tool frontman Maynard James Kennan, Carina Round and Matt Mitchell.
The group recently tweeted a series of tweets possibly relating to the album, with quotes that can potentially be lyrics from the album along with pictures of a baby in a womb, an alien spaceship and a human body with three eyes. See the tweets below.

“…Formative, extreme conditions tempering your will and way. Mindful, now, of graceless dullards plodding through their vapid cabaret.” #puscifer2020 #matmitchell @carinaround #gregedwards @sarahsausages @GunnarOlsenDrum @mjkeenan pic.twitter.com/0YOkkXr28w

Existential Reckoning serves as the follow up to their critically acclaimed, high fidelity ranked 2015 album Money $hot. The much anticipated new album has been teased since late last year, beginning with guitarist Mat Mitchell sharing video clips and pictures featuring singer Carina Round via Instagram. It was then noted that the band had been working with Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco while also hinting with the hashtag #Puscifer2021 for a 2021 release date.
Shortly before releasing the first single, the band had another round of teasing the new music, with a clip of a song being shared via Instagram as well.
With the new album, the band will possibly play a few songs at the Mad Cool Festival in 2021, playing alongside Mumford and Sons and Faith No More.
