PUSCIVERSE FIELD NOTES / VOL. 01

A listening, viewing & mild confusion guide

INTO THE
PUSCI
VERSE.

A band. A desert. A briefcase.
A very questionable government agency.

Follow Puscifer from a comedy-show cameo to Normal Isn’t — through the records, films and recurring faces that make the music a world of its own.

Enter the rabbit hole
Mat Mitchell, Carina Round holding a skull, and Maynard James Keenan in the Normal Isn’t era
MITCHELL / ROUND / KEENAN
Three creative confidants. One expanding universe.

00 / Orientation

Leave a little room
for the absurd.

Puscifer’s creative core is Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell and Carina Round. The songs, theatrical concerts, animations and comedy belong to the same playground. The band’s own era-by-era credits show how many collaborators pass through it.

The lore is deliberately elastic: Billy D’s misadventures, a suspicious agency and a new goth cast overlap without a single tidy timeline. This guide follows release order, with prequels and reposts identified. The short descriptions are listening prompts and story signposts, not a claim that every image has one official meaning.

Start with the 23 essentials if you want a manageable route before the show. Add the rest as curiosity takes over.

Chapter 01 / 1995—2006

Before the record

A fictional band becomes a soundtrack credit. Comedy and collaboration are there from the beginning.

Mr. Show: the fictional band

Start with the season-one opening episode, “The Cry of a Hungry Baby.” The name existed in sketch comedy before it became a recording project. Only the cameo is needed; a free official clip was not verified.

Notes & sources

Episode air date; background, not an album. Search link is not a verified official upload.

REV 22:20 — Underworld version

The first recorded Puscifer: Maynard James Keenan and Danny Lohner. Hear the soundtrack recording before the later album arrangement. The linked EP preserves the early version.

Notes & sources

Release date checked against the linked catalog or announcement. Later editions can carry different dates.

REV 22:20 (4:20 Mix)

The Saw II soundtrack remix is an early demonstration of the project’s habit of treating a song as material that can keep changing.

Notes & sources

Release date checked against the linked catalog or announcement. Later editions can carry different dates.

The Undertaker (Renholdër Mix)

The Underworld: Evolution contribution predates the debut album. Compare it with the later V Is for Vagina recording.

Notes & sources

Release date checked against the linked catalog or announcement. Later editions can carry different dates.

Chapter 02 / 2007—2010

Body, beat & bad manners

The first album, the first live shows, the first detours. Electronics make room for melody and the Arizona landscape.

Cuntry Boner (Live)

The official description dates this live performance to 1999; the channel upload came in 2007. A comedy-era performance, distinct from the full Puscifer concert debut in 2009.

Notes & sources

Sorted by the public channel upload (15 September 2007). The official description dates the filmed performance to 1999.

Cuntry Boner - Single

The original single pairs Cuntry Boner (Evil Joe Barresi Mix) with the Circle Jerks cover World Up My Ass (Alan Moulder Mix). Both sit outside the standard debut album.

Notes & sources

Release date checked against the linked catalog or announcement. Later editions can carry different dates.

Queen B — Meats Meier animation

The first official video (2007): CGI chess and an early visual identity. This official upload is a later repost.

Notes & sources

Video was public by 4 October 2007; official description calls it the first video (2007). Linked official repost is dated 22 June 2011.

Don’t Shoot the Messenger

What is included — and how exhaustive is this?

Research cutoff: 30 October 2026. The official homepage, news, media, discography, all 18 sitemap-listed pages, the indexed news article, and all 97 current product records were reviewed for relevant media. All 125 uploads visible in the official YouTube channel’s Videos tab are accounted for. Apple Music’s artist page and targeted catalog searches supplied the album and EP links.

The main journey includes distinct releases, films, narrative videos, character sketches and the four currently sold comics. “Everything” also includes promotional teasers, visualizers and performance excerpts. The full An Easter Story upload is merged into its film entry. This is a bounded official-source guide, not a claim to catalog every interview, deleted clip, Short, fan recording, physical variant or Maynard guest appearance ever made.
