After rising to global prominence as vocalist of the revered and pioneering extreme music act The Dillinger Escape Plan, Greg Puciato began to spread his wings towards the end of their illustrious and controversial tenure, becoming a key member of other such acts as the heavy metal supergroup Killer Be Killed and synth-pop sensation The Black Queen. He’s even recently become a member of Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chain’s solo band, and now fronts the post-Every Time I Die supergroup Better Lovers.
January 2024 will see Puciato bring his solo material down under for the first time ever and give fans the chance to experience the sounds of his latest offering ‘Mirrorcell‘ and 2020’s ‘Child Soldier: Creator of God’ live!
The Everblack Podcast caught up with Greg Puciato to talk about his upcoming Australian tour, new Better Lovers single, latest solo album ‘Mirrorcell’, working with Reba Meyers for the song ‘Lowered’, Jerry Cantrell and more.
Listen to the interview here:
Employing longtime TDEP producer Steve Evetts, and drummers Chris Pennie (Dillinger Escape Plan), Ben Koller (Converge), Chris Hornbook (Poison The Well), Puciato wrote and performed everything else you hear on 2020 debut album ‘Child Soldier: Creator of God’. He even established an independent record label to self-release it – Federal Prisoner. Late 2020 saw an immediate follow up with the experimental live album/studio EP/visual hybrid ‘Fuck Content’. Album number two arrived in 2022 in the form of ‘Mirrorcell’, a powerhouse of a record that saw the career mixtape approach of Child Soldier coalesce into a more cohesive form of razor sharp alternative metal, while still embodying the diversity and eclectic experimentation the man is known for.
