LISTEN UP: New Puscifer “Grand Canyon”
First of all, I still don’t really like Tool. Sorry. Tar and feather me. I like loads of stoner/groove metal, but the closest I can get to enjoying Tool is the pleasure of playing the schism riff.
Puscifer on the other hand, I’ve loved and been following closely since the first album. It’s completely different- experimental, and often goofy as hell industrial a la Foetus (another great love of mine); yet it remains unique in the world of music due to a combination of dedication to experimentation, and of course, Maynard’s voice.
Far from being a one-album vanity project, Puscifer has marched on with a string of releases since their inception, some weird and loud enough for me to like, and some that are...well, a little dull (until you put headphones on and smoke a bowl). The next album in the Puscifer cannon “Money Shot” drops just in time for my favorite holiday, Halloween, October 30th 2015. You can pre order the vinyl here, and even get it signed!
