Having been declared as his “creative subconscious” and given the unique live performances, Puscifer has always been one of the more intrigueing of Maynard James Keenan’s endeavours.

Based on a dataset of revoiced and reassembled orchestrations by friends and members of the larger Pusciforce cosmos, Puscifer’s Existential Reckoning album will be reinterpreted by an all-star cast comprised of protagonists like NIN’s Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, QOTSA’s Troy Van Leeuwen, Tool’s Justin Chancellor, Phantogram, Daniel P. Carter and more.

With the band having released a companion remix collection for each of their studio albums, Existential Reckoning: Rewired (December 9, Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG) is bound to be one of the more interesting reimaginations of Puscifer’s emissions, given the electro-laced nature of the record.

So then what exactly, you might ask, is everyone's favourite rock-star-turned-vintner doing, if not fronting one of his established bands? As it turns out, … Read more
