Puscifer<\/a>\u00a0have announced\u00a0a new album titled\u00a0Normal Isn’t, marking their first full-length since 2020’s\u00a0Existential Reckoning.<\/p>\n

Normal Isn’t will delve into Puscifer’s collective post-punk influences, blending their dark electronics and gallows humor with more aggressive, guitar-driven sounds.<\/p>\n

“We’re\u00a0definitely leaning into our early influences,” Keenan said in a press release. “It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.”<\/p>\n

The band wrote the album while touring in support of last year’s\u00a0Sessanta EP, leading to a more spontaneous creative process.<\/p>\n

“From the outset, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge, which guitar brings,” Puscifer guitarist and co-producer\u00a0Mat Mitchell said. “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”<\/p>\n

Of the album’s lyrical content, Keenan added: “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.”<\/p>\n
