Puscifer’s new album, “Normal Isn’t,” is out today via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The collection marks Puscifer’s first new album in five years and finds the trio of Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round embracing the Post-Punk influences that shaped their early musical experiences, channeling those roots into a darker, more guitar-driven sound. Arriving in tandem with today’s album release is an animated video for “Bad Wolf,” directed by AF Schepperd.
Watch the official music video for the new single “Bad Wolf” via the YoiuTube player below:
“Oral Tradition, the practice of passing down legends, myths, and metaphors, has always fascinated me. One of my favorites is the Cherokee tale of the Two Wolves. It serves as a metaphor for our inner battle between good/wise/loving choices and poor/selfish/hateful choices. The wolf that thrives is the wolf you feed” – Maynard James Keenan
