Under the stars at LA’s historic Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Allison Hagendorf sits down with Puscifer — Maynard James Keenan, Karina Round, and Matt Mitchell — for an intimate screening party and the first-ever listen of their new album, Normal Isn’t. Fresh off hearing the record come to life for the very first time, the band opens up about what makes Puscifer different: no rules, no fixed lineup, total trust, and the freedom to follow ideas wherever they lead even when that means comedy and heaviness living side by side. The conversation dives into: ⚡️ Experiencing Normal Isn’t for the first time with an audience ⚡️ Puscifer’s 20+ year evolution and ever-rotating creative family ⚡️ Why “anything goes” is the band’s true mission statement ⚡️ Balancing humor, intensity, and instinct ⚡️ Making records in hotel rooms, studios, and on the road ⚡️ The album’s sonic palette, guitars, synths, and aggression ⚡️ New characters, storylines, and the expanding Pusciverse via graphic novels ⚡️ What Normal Isn’t would taste like… if it were a wine 🍷 This is Puscifer unfiltered, playful, thoughtful, uncompromising, and deeply human.

Rock history collides in this behind-the-scenes look at “Zombie” — YUNGBLUD reimagined with The Smashing Pumpkins. Filmed on set in a snowy graveyard, this intimate, cinematic moment captures what happens when two generations of rock connect in real time. YUNGBLUD and Billy Corgan reflect on legacy, urgency, imperfection, and why this collaboration feels less like nostalgia — and more like a shift. From the raw energy of the performance to the creative decisions behind the sound and visuals, this is a rare window into how “Zombie” evolved into something darker, heavier, and deeply intentional — blending ’90s alternative spirit with modern urgency. Featuring candid moments with YUNGBLUD, Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and the full Smashing Pumpkins band, this isn’t just a music video — it’s a statement about where rock is headed next. Hosted by Allison Hagendorf, this behind-the-scenes piece captures the magic, emotion, and meaning behind one of the most talked-about rock collaborations of the year.
