I’d forgotten about the Puscifer Existential Reckoning remix album coming out in March, but I was reminded of it by a neat little video produced by Maynard’s daughter for the track A Singularity (Re-Imagined by Carina Round). Here’s a reminder of who’s on it:
Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired offers a track-for-track re-imagining of the 12 songs from Existential Reckoning. Puscifer band members Mitchell and Round, along with current touring musicians Greg Edwards (Failure, Autolux) and Gunnar Olsen reinterpret tracks from the prophetic, electro-laced record. The Academy Award-winning team of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross tackle “Apocalyptical†(Reznor has a co-writing credit with Maynard James Keenan and Mitchell on Puscifer’s 2009 song, “Potionsâ€), Phantogram revamp “Postulous,†Drummer Sarah Jones and Bring Me The Horizon’s Jordan Fish tackle “â€Theorem,†Queens of The Stone Age (and sometimes A Perfect Circle/Failure) guitar player Troy Van Leeuwen partners with his Gone is Gone bandmate, Tony Hajjar for “Grey Area,†while Tool’s Justin Chancellor and The Crystal Method’s Scott Kirkland join forces for “UPGrade.†Additional contributors include Juliette Commagere, who first appeared on Puscifer’s 2011 album Conditions of My Parole, keyboard player Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails), and BBC 1’s Daniel P. Carter.

Puscifer remix albums are usually worth a listen, so make sure you tune in when this gets released. You can grab it from the usual places including on Amazon.
