A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and Failure have announced a joint live album, Cinquanta, recorded during a 2014 show celebrating the 50th birthday of Maynard James Keenan.
A known prankster, Maynard took the opportunity to grace us with some truly, um, noteworthy artwork, appearing as an adult baby — diaper and all — on the cover of the live album. Puscifer have had some ridiculous sleeves over the years, but this might be the most outrageous one yet.
Presented as a double album, the actual recordings were culled from a performance on May 10th, 2014, at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles when Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and Failure shared the stage to celebrate Keenan’s 50th. Cinquanta is set to release on March 22nd on vinyl (in multiple colorways) and CD, but online pre-orders appear to already be sold out, so you’ll have to check with your local record store (per Puscifer’s Linktree).
Thankfully, if you missed out on Cinquanta, Puscifer also announced a separate soundtrack LP, Global Probing, for their streaming film of the same name. These recordings were captured during the Existential Reckoning tour and features a performance at the Yavapai College Performing Arts Center in Prescott, Arizona. Vinyl variants and a CD/Blu-Ray combo pack are due out March 22nd, and you can pre-order them from Puscifer’s website.
