Puscifer announce UK, Europe and U.S. tour

Maynard James Keenan's oddities Puscifer have announced a release date for their new remix album and a string of UK, European and United States tour dates for this summer.

Kicking their live activity off in Daytona Beach, Florida, at Welcome To Rockville (also headlined by MJK's other band Tool), Puscifer will traverse across the U.S. before hitting the UK and Ireland in early June and then on to mainland Europe until their final show on July 7 at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, Spain.

The tour news is accompanied by the revelation that the band will release their Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired remix album on March 31 via Puscifer Entertainment / Alchemy Recordings / BMG.

A re-imagining of their 2020 LP Existential Reckoning, Puscifer have brought on board a series of collaborators including Trent Reznor, BMTH's Jordan Fish, QOTSA's Troy Van Leeuwen and Kerrang!'s own Daniel P. Carter.

A video for Carina Round's version of A Singularity has also just dropped, released in memoriam to Maynard's dog MiHo.

"On Oct 7, 2021, I lost my muse," says Maynard. "Deadly Little MiHo lost her two-year battle with pancreatitis and kidney disease. We thought we lost her in late 2019, so I panicked and wrote her this song. We were certain she was done for. But we were blessed with a second chance and a bit more time. I rarely share things like this. Too painful. But this one can’t be kept bottled up. As I have mentioned before, she has been hiding in most of my vocal tracks since 2005. She was either in or near the vocal booth every time I tracked. Her sigh, her bark, sniffle, sneeze. Her jingling collar. Her squeaky toys. Usually poorly timed."

Indeed, MiHo appeared throughout Maynard's records over the years, including Tool's 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum, A Perfect Circle's Eat The Elephant, and Puscifer's V Is For Vagina.
