Likewise Pusicfer who contributed to the first Underworld album, is a new outlet for the highly respected, and ommercially successful music genius Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is best known as the frontman of both Tool and A Perfect Circle. Also a contributing member of Puscifer is Danny Lohner, the famed former Nine Inch Nails guitarist who is also a sought out songwriter, producer and remixer.[see full story for more including tracklisting]- Click Here for the Full Story
