() Puscifer's Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired, a track-by-track re-imagining of the band's critically-acclaimed album, Existential Reckoning, arrives tomorrow via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG).

A third preview of the album arrives today, with a visualizer for "Apocalyptical (Re-Imagined by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross)". Previously released songs include "A Singularity (Re-Imagined by Carina Round)," which was released in tandem with several videos from those within the Pusciverse, including a stirring Maynard James Keenan-created homage to his recently departed dog, MiHo (watch here), and "Postulous (Re-Imagined by Phantogram)," featuring a Daniel Martin Diaz-created clip for the electrified track.

Mat Mitchell, Puscifer producer, songwriter and guitar player, said upon news of the forthcoming remix album's impending arrival: "Existential Reckoning: Rewired is a dataset of revoiced and reassembled orchestrations by friends and members of the larger Pusciforce family."

"Sometimes it's just fun to break stuff," added Keenan. "Then you latch on to one familiar piece and build something entirely new."
