Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from NINE INCH NAILS have created their own rendition of the PUSCIFER track “Apocalyptical”
The new cut comes amidst the band’s release of their new remix album “Existential Reckoning: Rewired” which is being made available today (March 31) via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG.
“Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired” offers a track-for-track re-imagining of the 12 songs from “Existential Reckoning“.

Additional contributors include Juliette Commagere, who first appeared on PUSCIFER‘s 2011 album “Conditions Of My Parole“, keyboard player Alessandro Cortini (NINE INCH NAILS),and BBC 1‘s Daniel P.

“Existential Reckoning: Rewired is a dataset of revoiced and reassembled orchestrations by friends and members of the larger Pusciforce family,” says PUSCIFER producer and guitarist Mat Mitchell.
“Sometimes it’s just fun to break stuff,” added vocalist Maynard James Keenan. “Then you latch on to one familiar piece and build something entirely new.”
