The wait for Tool's new album just got a little more intense. The art-metal luminaries' leader Maynard James Keenan said way back in 2011 that his bandmates were working on their first full-length since 2006's 10,000 Days. About a year ago, Tool guitarist Adam Jones told SPIN, "It's taken a little longer." Then Tool drummer Danny Carey said the album could be done by early 2014.
In case you haven't checked a calendar lately, that's this year, and Carey's words might've proved prophetic. Tool opened their U.S. tour this week, and last night they played in Portland, Oregon. According to "male lifestyle website" Crave Online, Jones told a source at a pre-show meet-and-greet the new album is "100 percent done" and planned for release before the end of 2014. Yup. New Tool album. Done.
No, the source isn't named, but the latest reported hint at Tool's LP plans would be entirely in character for the band. We'll keep you posted when we hear more; in the meantime, catch up Keenan's other group, Puscifer, with 2011's Conditions of My Parole and 2013's Donkey Punch the Night EP. Plus check out our review of Tool's tour kickoff in Spokane, Washington, and revisit our list of Five Artists Who Still Say No to Streaming.
True....they are know to fuck with people right before release....what he probably means though is that the music is done and Maynard has to write lyrics
