Nov. 2, 2020, Arcosanti, Ariz. – On Friday, October 30, Puscifer celebrated the release of their fourth full-length album, Existential Reckoning (Alchemy Recordings/Puscifer Entertainment/BMG) with the debut of their visually-stunning, livestream concert experience, which was viewed by a record-breaking number of attendees via the Single livestream platform. Dubbed Existential Reckoning: Live at Arcosanti,” it began with a countdown featuring the brand-new video for “Theorem” and proceeded to take viewers deep into the Arizona desert.

“It warms our twisted hearts to see so much support from our audience,” said Maynard James Keenan. “This is what touring looks like in 2020 and they got it and ‘showed up.’ May they live long and prosper. And may the Pusciforce be with them all.”

“We made something really special in a time of great restriction that has been received with love and joy,” said Carina Round of Puscifer. “It’s of its time and for its time but will ultimately transcend this strange era as a really unique experience.”

Puscifer’s Mat Mitchell said, “All the positive fan response has been incredible. So happy to have been able to perform a show complementing the new album.”

Danny Wimmer, Founder of event producer Danny Wimmer Presents said, “We are so honored to have worked with Shelter Music and Maynard to bring Existential Reckoning; Live at Arcosanti to life. We set out to create a unique experience – something more than just a concert on a computer screen – and it’s exciting that this became the biggest rock music PPV livestream.”

Over the years, Puscifer have become known for their kinetic live productions, a merging of music and the theatrical. Concertgoers have been treated to live Luchadores, a “Hee Haw” themed revue, and a desert-set campfire replete with an Airstream trailer. But Existential Reckoning: Live at Arcosanti” is unlike anything the band has ever done before.

The location, Arcosanti, has been described by Architectural Digest as a “utopian metropolis in the Arizona desert” that “looks like the sublime set of a big-budget sci-fi movie.” A location that’s both inspirational and bewitching, as Arizona itself often is. The 48th state has played a silent, yet meaningful, partner to the musical troupe, with its vistas and deserts often appearing in the band’s music videos, as concert backdrops and as the subject of numerous lyrics.

Greg Prato with Consequence Of Sound said, “…the concert was captivating from beginning to end…With eye-popping visuals, unpredictability, and great sound…”

And Ed Masley with Arizona Republic added: “The experimental desert town of Arcosanti proved itself a brilliant backdrop for Maynard James Keenan and Puscifer…The concert made full use of the architecture’s cinematic possibilities, played out on multiple backdrops, with Keenan and Carina Round performing on raised scaffolding above a stage divided into quadrants, their robotic movements further adding to the dark, apocalyptic vibe of the proceedings.”

Puscifer’s set offered a performance of the new album in full and included the following tracks:

1.     Bread and Circus

2.     Apocalyptical

3.     The Underwhelming

4.     Grey Area 5.1

5.     Theorem

6.     UPGrade

7.     Bullet Train To Iowa

8.     Personal Prometheus

9.     A Singularity

10.   Postulous

11.   Fake Affront

12.   Bedlamite

About Puscifer

Born somewhere in the Arizona desert, Puscifer is an electro-rock band, multimedia experience, traveling circus, and alien abduction survivors. The group’s catalog consists of four full-length studio albums—“V” is for Vagina [2007], Conditions of My Parole [2011], Money Shot [2015], and Existential Reckoning (2020) —in addition to a series of EPs and remixes. Beyond the core trio of Maynard James Keenan [vocals], Mat Mitchell [guitar, production], and Carina Round [vocals, songwriting], the group’s ever-evolving ecosystem encompasses Greg Edwards (bass, guitar, keys), Gunnar Olsen (drums), as well as a cast of characters such as Billy D and his wife Hildy Berger, Major Douche, Special Agent Dick Merkin, and many more. Meanwhile, the moniker’s origins can be traced to a 1995 episode of the HBO classic Mr. Show where Keenan first utilized the name “Puscifer.” In addition to tallying tens of millions of streams and views, they’ve piqued the curiosity of press. Entertainment Weekly christened them, “Exceptionally groovy, and Revolver fittingly described them as “indescribable.” Renowned for an immersive live show, the group’s performances blur the lines between concert and theater, traversing the dusty American Southwest with Billy D and Hildy or the sweaty squared circle with Luchadores. They’ve brought this to life everywhere from Coachella to Bonnaroo. On their 2020 debut for Alchemy Recordings/BMG entitled Existential Reckoning, Puscifer track Billy D back to the desert and, just maybe, uncover the truth about aliens once and for all.
