Puscifer trades stage for page with debut comic starring Bellendia Black

PUSCIFER, the idiosyncratic trio comprising Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, stretches its multimedia ambitions with the launch of a comic book series entitled "Tales From The Pusciverse."

Issue No. 1 zeroes in on Bellendia Black, a figure introduced visually in the video for "Pendulum," now reimagined in print with enough stylized absurdity to match the band’s theatrical flair.

Puscifer plots 2026 return with "Normal Isn’t," resuming theatrics and gloom

PUSCIFER returns from a five-year hiatus with “Normal Isn’t,” expected February 6, 2026, via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The record enlists Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round to channel post-punk echoes shaped by their earlier sonic footprints.

Nimbly toeing the line between conceptual play and musical seriousness, the trio continues sculpting their distinctly theatrical blend—part absurdist cabaret, part moody rock experiment.
