Puscifer release new music video for ‘Apocalyptical’

PUSCIFER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Apocalyptical, is the brand new song from the Maynard James Keenan led band is their first new music for five years.

A message from Keenan arrives alongside the track, “manipulated information disseminated by kings, queens, dictators, so called leaders, supposed professionals or outliers and conspiracy theorists living underground, or in basements, is not new or unique to this generation. Misdirection is Power Struggles’ conjoined twin but the speed at which it now travels in this digital age is dangerous and destructive on many levels. This rapid distribution of poison and its immediate impact will be the hallmark of our generation. Even In light of all this, and all the noise the digital landscape generates, all I keep asking myself is ‘what is it with the whole hoarding toilet paper thing?”

Shedding some light on the timing of the song, vocalist Carina Round says, “Apocalyptical was one of the very first musical ideas for the new record that we put our voices on out in Arizona in late 2019. It was simultaneously very fresh and also felt like we had never been apart.”

Diving further into the creation of the new song, guitarist and co-producer Mat Mitchell says, “for the initial writing process of Apocalyptical, we relied heavily on a Fairlight IIx (an early musical computer using 8 bit samples), and a Synclavier II (another early digital workstation that relied on FM synthesis). These were heavyweights in early digital music productions and defined a generation of music. We decided to set modern computers aside by working within the limitations of these early computer technologies. This created a unique space for us to explore and the results can be heard throughout this track.”

The band’s fourth full-length studio album will arrive later this via Alchemy Recordings, a partnership with BMG. Stay posted to Distorted Sound as we bring you more information as we get it.
