Today, March 18, 2026, we’re raising a glass to Jerry Cantrell as he hits the milestone age of 60. From the sludge-drenched harmonies of Alice In Chains to his critically acclaimed solo ventures like Boggy Depot, Degradation Trip, and 2024's I Want Blood, Cantrell has remained one of the most influential and respected voices in rock history.

Known for his signature wah-drenched solos and the haunting vocal blends that defined the Seattle sound, Jerry continues to push boundaries well into his sixth decade. Whether he's touring the world or crafting dark, atmospheric masterpieces in the studio, his impact on heavy music is undeniable.

Happy Birthday, Jerry!

In a recent interview with the Arizona Republic, Maynard James Keenan shared his perspective on the separation of church and state, describing the government as a "machinery" that should remain free from emotional or religious influence. "It's a car, it's an engine, it's mechanics," Keenan stated. "There's no faith involved... You can have your faith, but it shouldn't affect how your car runs."

"That's why separating church and state is important to me, 'cause the government should not be an emotional being," Keenan continued. "It should be a mechanism. It's a machinery. No faith involved."

The interview comes as Puscifer prepares to launch their 2026 North American tour, which kicks off March 20 in Las Vegas and includes a stop at the Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix on March 21.
