Puscifer, the multi-dimensional band featuring Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell and Carina Round, will be releasing Normal Isn’t, which is their first new album in over five years, on February 6, through Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The record channels the post-punk influences that shaped the members’ early musical experiences, while pushing into darker and more guitar-driven territory.

Also, the band has previewed the 11-song collection with the release of “Self Evident” and its accompanying video that was filmed during a special August performance at Exchange L.A., where the group previewed the album in full for an intimate crowd of fans. Normal Isn’t blends the dark electronics and sharp humor Puscifer is known for with a more spontaneous creative process. “From the outset, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge, which guitar brings,” shares Mitchell, who co-produced the album. “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”

On another note, Puscifer has simultaneously announced a North American tour in support of the album, which will be kicking off on March 20, in Las Vegas and closing at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, with stops at New York’s Terminal 5 and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. Tickets and VIP packages are on-sale this Friday, October 24, at 10 a.m. local time by clicking here.
