Puscifer have announced a new album titled Normal Isn’t, marking their first full-length release since 2020’s Existential Reckoning. The Maynard James Keenan-fronted outfit will release its fifth studio album on February 6. It is available for preorder now.
They are currently previewing the 11-song set with the lead single “Self Evident,” and will promote the album with a spring 2026 North American tour. You can watch the “Self Evident” video, see the full Normal Isn’t track listing, and check out Puscifer’s full slate of tour dates below.

Puscifer Promise Post-Punk Elements and Heavy Guitars on ‘Normal Isn’t’
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,” Keenan said in a press release. “It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.”
The band wrote the album while touring in support of last year’s Sessanta EP, which led to a more spontaneous creative process.
“From the outset, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge, which guitar brings,” Puscifer guitarist and co-producer Mat Mitchell explained. “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”
Regarding 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.”
