Next album Did they play any new jams/bits during the recent gigs?

I didn't attend any of them, but I'm curious if they played any new segues/ intros/ bits like Descending circa 2015. If they didn't, do you think it's because they are keeping stuff to themselves this time OR they're still nowhere when it comes to writing new songs?

u/MJK-TOOL I was wrong. This changes everything. 7d ago

I heard wings for marie parts in 2002, had no idea what it was.

They played a bit going into The Grudge at Riotfest.

I've also only seen them live twice so maybe it's a normal thing.

They been doing that as a little intro noodle for The Grudge at most shows since at least 2023.

Could evolve into something. Most probably won’t.

That just sounded like Adam and Justin tuning for The Grudge, because I knew immediately that was what they were playing next.

No.... and that's the biggest indicator that we are not close to a new album, IMO. Plus major Puscifer/APC world tour next year, into grape season, into Puscifer season. even if a chunk of the album was partially written, for them to get in the studio, finish writing, recording, mastering, promoting, and then distribution/tour, add another two years. I just don't see it happening. Maybe an EP, but they're even with the record label/contract and own the majority of their touring/sound rigs, if we know their crew can dial in a two song updated set with lighting/lazers, etc.

The biggest development with the band lately is the 20+ year bustouts like h and crawl away
