Billy Howerdel Releases 'The Same Again'  Image

Billy Howerdel, offering a final preview of his forthcoming solo album, What Normal Was (June 10, Alchemy Recordings/Rise Records/BMG), has released the track "The Same Again."

Howerdel launches a five-week North American tour on June 11 in Ventura, Calif. (dates below). The trek finds Howerdel joining his APC bandmate Maynard James Keenan's Puscifer for two shows: June 12 at the Greek Theatre (Los Angeles) and July 1 at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre (Rochester Hills, Mich). Tickets, and VIP packages, for all headlining dates are on-sale now, visit here for additional info. VOWWS open on all headlining dates.

The A Perfect Circle co-founder and guitar player has shared five songs from the eagerly-awaited album, with the four previously released singles being "Selfish Hearts," "Beautiful Mistake," "Poison Flowers" and "Free and Weightless."

What Normal Was is one of 2022's most highly-anticipated rock records. Guitar World described the music as "treading a line between Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails," Loudwire said Howerdel "paints a haunting visual with a dark palette," and Consequence said "trip hop and electronic influences peer through... beneath ethereal guitar passages."

Album pre-orders and pre-saves, which include an array of limited-edition vinyl variants, and other physical formats, are available now.
