Puscifer
As a long time Tool and A Perfect Circle fan, it's great to see Frontman Maynard James Keenan working on a little side project under the name Puscifer. He's released a couple of film tracks under that project name, and has an album set for release this October 30. This is how he explains the upcoming project:
"[It's a ]multifaceted, multimedia, multi-artist, multi-personality project. It involves film, music, digital video, garments, feminine hygiene products, coffee, pet supplies, websites, blogs, artist collaborations, a few office supplies, and a grip on the idea that chaos is good and that change is inevitable.” He goes on to explain the ‘higher purpose’ of Puscifer, saying "I'm on a mission. I've been assigned to be the guardian of a highly classified, highly effective Sonic Weapon of Mass Disruption. This sonic technology when 'unleashed,' if you will, causes parts of the anatomy to vibrate uncontrollably. Not unlike when someone yawns, everyone in the surrounding area will be affected. If executed properly, the subjects will be temporarily distracted from their duties. Their bodies will appear to be abducted by the Soul Train, as if J-Lo were auditioning for the 'Thriller' video. Awe inspiring. Don't speak a word of it."
