The trio of Mat Mitchell, Carina Round, and Maynard James Keenan, better known as Puscifer, return with a new album called Normal Isn't, out on Feb. 6, 2026 via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The band also just shared a new single, "Pendulum."

“Featuring Fairlight and reverb soaked vocals, ‘Pendulum’ is a nod to the ‘80s dark underground,” Mitchell says of the song.

The 11-song album also includes contributions from Greg Edwards (bass), Gunnar Olsen (drums), and Sarah Jones (drums) with guests Tony Levin, Danny Carey, and Mr. Ian Ross.

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
