Side A: Little Lord Fentanyl (feat. Maynard James Keenan / Puscifer)

Side B: Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread (Live from Philadelphia)

Pressed for the first time on gold vinyl, Primus is back with their first new studio track since 2022’s Conspiranoid EP: the blistering, surrealist anthem “Little Lord Fentanyl.” A twisted fable steeped in groove and dark humor, the track features a guest appearance from Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer), whose unmistakable voice slithers through the chaos with sinister glee.

On the B-side: In the course of Primus's epic interstellar drum derby, John Hoffman was the only one who chose to play Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread. “My favorite to have to learn was Mind Spread,” he said in his audition. His preparation paid off in the studio and was soon pressure-tested on the road. “He’s the only one that picked it, and he fucking killed it,” said Les Claypool. John's command of the song and the chemistry with the band can be heard on this new live recording from Philadelphia, PA.
