Puscifer’s Musical Evolution: A Dive into ‘Normal Isn’t’
On this new album, Puscifer will explore their post-punk influences while fusing dark electronics and gallows humor with a more aggressive, guitar-driven sound. Maynard James Keenan, the band’s frontman, expressed, “We’re definitely leaning into our early influences. It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.”
The creative process for Normal Isn’t was notably impulsive, with the band composing much of the material while on tour for last year’s Sessanta EP. This spontaneity has resulted in a raw and edgy sound, as emphasized by guitarist and co-producer Mat Mitchell: “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”
Keenan further elaborated on the album’s lyrical themes, stating, “Normal Isn’t reflects this time we are living in. As storytellers and artists, our job is to observe, interpret and report. We take in our environment and share what we see, and what we see around us does not appear normal. Not by a long shot.”
