Puscifer, the multi-dimensional rock troupe featuring Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, have released In Case You Were Napping (Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG), a 15-song digital-only collection celebrating the band’s nearly two decade recorded legacy of boundary-pushing music.
Pulling from the band’s albums and EPs, In Case You Were Napping serves as both a primer for new listeners and a curated journey for longtime fans. The tracklist highlights favorites such as “The Humbling River, “ “Momma Sed,” and “Conditions Of My Parole,” alongside standout tracks including “The Mission – M Is For Milla Mix” (featuring vocals from Milla Jovovich), the prescient 2020 single, “Apocalyptical,” and Sessanta tour closer, “Grand Canyon.”
The collection arrives as Puscifer has publicly confirmed their fifth studio album will arrive in 2026. Fans won’t have to wait long for a preview, on August 11, the band will perform the as-of-yet untitled record in its entirety over two performances at Exchange L.A.

Puscifer is an electro-rock band and multimedia experience. Their catalog consists of four full-length studio albums: V is for V… [2007], Conditions of My Parole [2011], Money Shot [2015], and Existential Reckoning [2020] — in addition to a series of EPs, live albums, and remixes. Beyond the core trio of Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, the group’s ever-evolving ecosystem has encompassed luchadores, aliens, a cast of unforgettable characters, and a host of remarkable guest musicians.
The project traces its origins to early ‘90s Hollywood, when Keenan performed at Tantrum, a local comedy-meets-variety night helmed by Laura Milligan (who would later perform with Puscifer in the role of Hildy Berger). In addition to tallying tens of millions of streams and views, they’ve piqued the curiosity of the press. Entertainment Weekly christened them “Exceptionally groovy,” Variety described their music as “hypnotic electronic rock,” and Stereogum said they are “darkly playful.” Revolver added, “You’re highly unlikely to find another band that explores the fear and loathing of our uncertain times in as chill a fashion as the latest from Maynard James Keenan’s art-rock outfit Puscifer.”
Renowned for their immersive live show, the group’s performances blur the lines between concert and theater, traversing the dusty American Southwest, the sweaty squared circle, and outer space. They’ve brought their unique live experience to life everywhere from Coachella to Bonnaroo.
