The name comes from the US comedy series &#8220;Mr. Show&#8221;, in which Maynard plays a band member of an imaginary band called <strong>Puscifer<\/strong>. Since the band&#8217;s ten-year anniversary, Danny Lohner<strong>(Nine Inch Nails<\/strong>), Brad Wilk<strong>(Rage Against the Machine<\/strong>) and Tim Commerford have also been involved. The new <strong>Puscifer album<\/strong>&#8220;Normal Isn&#8217;t&#8221; will be released on February 06, 2026. Elements of gothic, post-punk and new wave are combined to create a pleasing whole that is fresh and somehow different.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Normal Isn&#8217;t&#8221; was written in Arizona and in the new Puscifer studio in Los Angeles. Synthesizers such as Moog One, Fairlight CMI and Synclavier shaped the soundscape, while the guitar plays a more prominent role. In our next issue, we talk to Mat in detail about &#8220;Normal Isn&#8217;t&#8221;.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Maynard thinks of the song &#8220;ImpetuoUs&#8221;: &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to see where this song will take people. As songwriters, w e sometimes forget that w e are carpenters in a sense and have been accompanying this song since it w as just a pile of wood. Our perspective may differ from that of the final inhabitant of this space we have created. Shelter, bridge or gallows, coffin?
