Puscifer have announced their fifth album titled Normal Isn’t, marking their first full-length project since 2020’s Existential Reckoning.

The outfit will release Normal Isn’t on Feb. 6, and are previewing the 11-song project by releasing the video for its lead single “Self Evident”, filmed during a special August performance at Exchange L.A., where the group previewed the album in full. Watch the “Self Evident” video – HERE.

Frontman Maynard James Keenan shared in a press release that 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: “We’re definitely leaning into our early influences. It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.”  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.”

The band wrote the album while touring in support of last year’s Sessanta EP. Puscifer guitarist and co-producer Mat Mitchell said: “From the outset, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge, which guitar brings,” We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”

Puscifer will also embark on a North American tour in 2026, kicking-off March 20 with stops in Dallas, Boston, New York City, Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco, and more before concluding on May 14 in Los Angeles. Comedian-musician Dave Hill will provide support on tour. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.
