Multi-platinum alternative metal oddballs Primus have now issued the studio version of their latest collaborative track with Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer vocalist Maynard James Keenan. That collective first rolled out this song in a live environment together roughly a week ago, performing it during last month’s ‘‘Sessanta v2.0‘ tour kickoff.
Outside of once again pairing Primus and Keenan in the studio, this single also marks Primus‘ first new music to be released with the drumming talents of their latest percussionist John Hoffman. The latter musician beat out thousands of other hopefuls for the gig, having secured the job earlier this year. Unlike last year’s sonic union between Primus and Keenan though, this song was approached as a standalone Primus single.
As with the 2024 ‘Sessanta‘ run, this spring’s trek now functions as a 60ish birthday celebration for the now 61-year-old Keenan. The tour aims to deliver unique performances each night as the Keenan-fronted A Perfect Circle and Puscifer swap out members with each other and Primus throughout the night, tackling each other’s song in altered configurations. That trek will continue on through to early June and will next hit the following cities:
