Puscifer is a strange little endeavor from Maynard James Keenan, the guy who fronts Tool and A Perfect Circle. The most metal thing about the band's just released, V is for Vagina, is the blood-spattered inner sleeve illustration of a dude being sucked into the engine of an airplane. Otherwise, Puscifer is pretty tame -- an atmospheric melange of mercurial guitars, trip-hop beats, sedated vocals and arrangements that resemble an Ennio Moricone soundtrack.
So, it isn't too surprising that MySpace.com chose nerdy, totally un-metal comedian Patton Oswalt (who, we have to admit, does a pretty funny bit about '80s metal) to interview Keenan for their Artist on Artist feature. We give Patton props for pronouncing the project's name right on the first pass (sadly he mispronounces it seconds later):
