In a recent interview on Kyle Meredith With…, Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan spoke candidly about politics and extremism.

He discussed his new album, Normal Isn't, which was announced last October.

The album is said to be more directly shaped by the current moment than previous releases.

When asked about fundamentalist extremism, Keenan expressed strong opposition: "I'm always going to be on the side of fuck fundamentalist extremists in any way.

Left, right, center—I don't care… fundamentalist extremists can go fucking suck a bag of dicks." He also addressed the perception that Puscifer is his least popular project compared to Tool or A Perfect Circle.

Keenan framed this as an advantage, saying "Puscifer's definitely been marginalized and relegated to the third side project category." The band's outsiders status was highlighted in their latest single, "Impetuous," which celebrates being different and embracing individuality: "It's okay to not think like everybody else… If you feel like an island, then lean into it.

Don't think of it as a flaw."
