Parole Pre-Orders and Cover Art

According to Facebook this morning, Conditions of My Parole, the new Puscifer album due on October 18 is now available for pre-order both in CD and Double Gate Fold Vinyl version. Purchases made from the Puscifer store are expected to ship slightly before release so you’ll have this album in your greasy mits the day of (or close to) release…

The cover art has also been revealed:

Queens of Country trailer

Just read a tweet with a link to the trailer for the upcoming movie Queens of Country from the guys who produced Blood Into Wine.  Rather than a musical documentary, it seems to be a comedy movie with a country music theme to it.  As you should all know by now Maynard has a role in it:

Looks like Maynard has a reasonably prominent role! According to the website, the trailer has been out for 6 months, but this is the first I’ve seen or heard of it.  Let us know what you think!

A Perfect Circle live tracks and new songs

Regular Fourtheye reader Magnus was lucky enough to have a chat with Billy Howerdel after a recent A Perfect Circle show in Texas, and was kind enough to ask him a little bit about the future for APC.  Billy’s responses were:

  • By & Down is the only new APC track for now, and they’re looking at a release in Fall/Winter.  Digital download was suggested as the format of the release.
  • The recordings for the 2010 show came out well.  Billy was quiet as far as a DVD goes, but suggested that some of the live tracks would be available with By & Down.

Setlist criticisms aside, everyone who’s caught a show on this tour so far seems to have enjoyed it.  If you get the change to catch one of the last few shows this tour, then I suggest you do!

Tool progress is progressing, Sasquatch spotted!

A couple of marginally interesting Tool items appeared in the last day, the first being a snippet from a recent Maynard interview reported on Blabbermouth:

As for the status of the next TOOL album — which Keenan gets asked about in every interview — the singer gave The Pulse Of Radio an update and warned fans not to believe everything they read. "We’re just always writing and it’s just progressing as it progresses," he said. "We normally don’t say anything about anything until it’s actually happening, because there’s a lot of people online that apparently can’t read very well. I put an April Fool’s notice up there for the album release, and it was this year, 2011, I said, ‘New TOOL album, such-and-such a date, 2009, and everybody ran around like, ‘Oh, really, the new TOOL –?’ God, you guys are dumb. I swear to God. You’ve got to read. Please, read."

I hope there is no one that dumb who reads Fourtheye.

Secondly Blair shares a picture of the Arizona Bigfoot he recently encountered and managed to snap on his iPhone:

This long haired and bearded beast looks a little like Adam.  ZEMKLA JR revealed?

Official stream of Puscifer’s Man Overboard

For those of you that missed it, the official stream on the new Puscifer track Man Overboard can be found on the Spin website.  Not sure if the track is available on iTunes yet, from memory it should be available by the 19th of July though.

If sea shanties are your thing, then you may enjoy these lyrics thrown together by polarbear_15:

Blood sky, red mornin’
Shoulda’ seen the warnin’.

Captain to the seamen,
"Man your battlestations.
Poseidon’s on a mission,
‘Bout to turn it up to 11."

Captain to the seaman,
"Assume crash positions.
Toss the extras over,
About to take on water."

Blood sky, red mornin’ (*whisper* All hands on deck.)
Shoulda’ seen the warnin’. (*whisper* All hands on deck.)
Poseidon’s on a mission, (*whisper* Brace yourself.)
‘Bout to turn it up to 11.

Mind the sails, mind the sails!
All hands on, all hands on deck!
Women and children first!
Bail sailor, bail, bail, bail!

Brace yourself, brace yourself. (Brace yourself, brace yourself.)
Brace yourself, brace yourself for 12.
All hands on, all hands on deck.
All hands on, all hands on…

Blood sky, red mornin’ (All hands on, all hands on deck!)
Shoulda’ seen the warnin’. (Woulda’, coulda’, shoulda’, shoulda’!)
Poseidon’s on a mission, (Brace yourself, brace yourself!)
About to turn it up to 11. (Brace yourself, brace yourself for 12!)

Captain to the seaman, (Here come the gales, mind the sails!)
Assume crash positions. (All hands on, all hands on deck!)
Toss the extras over, (Women and children, women and children first!)
about to take on water. (Bail sailor, bail, bail, bail!)

Poseidon’s on a mission, (Brace yourself, brace yourself!)
About to turn it up to 11. (Brace yourself, brace yourself for 12!)
Poseidon’s on a mission, (Brace yourself, brace yourself!)
About to turn it up to 11. (Brace yourself, brace yourself for 12!)

Personally, I quite like the track and think it’s better than anything released off the last few EP/albums.  The lyrics certainly are entertaining.

New Puscifer Track on Monday, Tool “Tweet”

According to quite a few sites out there, Man Overboard, the first track from the new Puscifer album Conditions of My Parole will be played on Monday morning.  According to metal.com:

If you’re awake in time, tune your radio at 9 am eastern/6 am pacific to Sirius XM 36 (Alt Nation) to hear Man Overboard as well as an in-studio interview with Maynard James Keenan, Matt McJunkins and Jeff Friedl. Hopefully for those of us who sleep in the track will also be replayed later in the day.
Spin will post a streaming version of the song Monday morning. The single, Man Overboard, will be available via iTunes, Amazon.com and through other digital service providers on Tuesday, July 19.

After hearing the short preview, I’m looking forward to hearing the full track. 

In other news, there was a tweet on the Tool Twitter account, presumably by Maynard, which pointed to some Japanese Heavy Metal alleging that it’s in studio footage.  Think of that what you will…
