Tool - Fear Inoculum - August 30, 2019 -- IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING
From their official site:
All right, moving forward. No matter how many new TOOL tunes are currently complete, I will personally guarantee that the new CD will be released on MAY 22, 2012 (or MAY 15, 2012) |
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Yeah I'm very happy, but waiting a year is going to suck!

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Only 6 years after 10,000 Days. Oh, TOOL, you crazy kooks. ;)

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Glory!

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
It's about time something was announced. I mean, I know this is right on schedule for them and all, but it's felt like it's taken them forever to announce something this time.
|
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Maynard has been busy with Puscifer and APC but the other guys have been putting things together in the meantime. This is great news.

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
I hope what edstein said was not exactly true. Tool's lyrical content has gone down since Maynard started APC...so his 'limited' musical involvement scares me.
Maynard used to always say (in the 90's) that his voice was as much an instrument as any of the others...so when that instrument shows up after everything else is written, it doesn't mesh as well. Here's hoping to a really focused effort from my favorite group. |
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
It's about time. T O O L is my favorite band and I've been "patient"ly waiting for the next album, which I'm sure will be amazing if Jones, Carey, and Chancellor have anything to do with it.

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Can wait

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
I was just wondering about this yesterday.
Sounds about right. Laggers. If they're gonna take this long, it better top 10,000 Days, which still amazes me more in packaging than in musical content. |
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
They broke the 5 year cycle rule. Sigh.
|
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
:up: Looking forward to this. And to seeing APC in a couple weeks.
|
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Maynard has also said numerous times that the music comes first...then the lyrics....I remember reading way back when he also mentioned that he was the least important member of the band (or maybe I saw it on tv cause I think I remember one of the other band members looking at him like he was crazy for saying that).
Whatever though...I dug the lyrics a lot on 10,000 days. |

I put an April Fool's notice up there for the album release, and it was this year, 2011, I said, 'New TOOL album, such-and-such a date, 2009, and everybody ran around like, 'Oh, really, the new TOOL --?' God, you guys are dumb. I swear to God. You've got to read. Please, read."

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Ugh. At least we get some new Puscifer and new APC. Here is the new APC song.

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Has that APC song been released as a studio cut yet? I'd like an MP3.
|
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
WHAT! No Josh Freese on this APC tour. As a drummer, I can't even imagine listening to that band without him.

As far as that new track, that recording of it is much better than I remember it sounding at the very show that was recorded at. |
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
The videos of that song on YouTube have pretty bad quality. Hopefully we'll see it on iTunes or amazon soon. No new album has been planned. Same for Ashes Divide. Apparently these guys are so busy with multiple projects that they cant focus on one album and get it out to us.

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Bummer APC isn't getting near here other than Lollapalooza.. and I'm not about to drop 150 to just see them. As for Tool. Hooray!

Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Tool Explain Why They Haven't Put Out a New Album Since 2006
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-2006-20140715 tl;dr version: Initially, in 2007, a friend of Jones' claimed that he had created artwork for the group that he wanted credit. But the suit got complicated when an insurance company that Tool thought would defend it against lawsuits turned around and sued the band over technicalities regarding the case. The band then filed a countersuit to defend themselves against the insurer's claims and now, seven years later, Tool are still deeply mired in litigation with the insurer. The case is scheduled to go to trial in January. |
Re: New Tool Album in 2012
Jeeze, sounds even more convoluted than a Tool song.

Tool back in the studio - finally
TOOL has settled the "multi-level lawsuit" that started in 2007 when a friend of the band claimed that he had created artwork for the group and wanted credit for it. Then an insurance company that TOOL had hired for the sole purpose of defending the band against lawsuits turned around and sued the band over technicalities regarding the case. The band countersued the insurer, with the case finally being resolved in their favor after seven years.
"It got really ugly and shameful," TOOL guitarist Adam Jones told Yahoo! Music. "This is a real simplification of the matter — but imagine paying auto insurance, getting into a wreck, and expecting the insurance company to cover you. And they come back to you and say, 'Well, you drive an SUV and we don't consider that an auto so we're not going to cover you.' And then they turn around and sue you because you want them to cover you. It's crazy." Jones also revealed that one of his bandmates was forced to deal with a medical issue, which further impeded TOOL's progress in crafting material for a new studio album, "I'd rather let the person who dealt with the illness talk about it out of respect," Jones told Yahoo! Music. "But one thing was a really scary do-or-die, serious illness and that was really scary. When you're trying to write music and you have that eating away at you — this person you're married to and you love and hate at the same time has something they're dealing with that's out of their control — it's distracting." According to Adam, the instrumental members of TOOL — Jones, bassist Justin Chancellor and drummer Danny Carey — have finished writing one as-yet-untitled song for the band's upcoming album, with more than 10 other tracks in various stages of completion. "Our greatest strength is jamming and coming up with stuff," Jones said. “We're doing that really well now and I'm excited about everything we're working on. Some of it's really heavy, some of it's complex and some is more atmospheric, but it's definitely TOOL. I think having this lawsuit out of the way should really speed of the progress of getting the album done." Although Jones hopes the next TOOL album will be finished and ready for release before the end of the year, there is no deadline by which the band has to deliver the follow-up to 2006's "10,000 Days". "We're older guys now," he told Yahoo! Music. "Everyone kind of has their own life, and the fire that burned in us when we were in our 20s isn't there anymore. There's still a fire, it's just a different kind of fire. So of course, we're writing and working hard, but we've gotten to a point where we're relaxed and we're meeting occasionally to get the writing done instead of every day. But I feel like every day we work on the songs is a productive day and we're getting closer and closer to finishing them." |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Tool is one of my favourite bands of all time, but... based on Adam's comments in that article, and similar comments they've all made in the last few years... maybe they should just go their separate ways instead of trying to force an album out. I'm fine with 10,000 Days being their last official record.
|
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
I guess this answers why Maynard would never talk about the status of the band as well during interviews over the years.
Yeah, Maybe it's time to hang it up if things are that rough but I also don't think his "getting older" comments are anything to worry about either - if anything, it just means more focus for them. I'm sure they won't put out a garbage album. 10,000 days wasn't the greatest but it had some excellent quality songs. |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Hang it up? Did we not hear 10K days and see how it grew in stature over the past years. I mean, Rosetta Stoned...f'n masterpiece of paranoia and complexity. Have you heard Danny's drums on that track? Jambi, vicarious, 10,000 days, the pot, right in two. Do we really want this band to not put out more records? Even if they take a decade in between, who cares. Every other band that puts out an album every two years sucks and burns out. Maynard's a bit distant from his tool focus, but I've no doubt that dude still has something to say and from what I've read Justin (bassist) has been writing some truly prolific parts. I'll wait for however long it takes knowing that the next record will be great and fit snugly into the oeuvre of tool. As RiFF RAFF says "if you see somebody hating point em out..." So I'm pointing you guys out. At least let them release the record before we say they should break up and disappear. Goodness, the Internet. David12...Back to my cave!

Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
I don't care if I have to wait a decade between albums. I'd rather be in a world where Tool was still making and releasing music.
I'm thrilled that the lawsuit is settled. Bring on album 5!!! |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
I've waited 10 yrs, what's another.
|
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Finally!!!! I'd love to hear the album by the end of 2015, but we know how fucking slow they are. Hoping for 2016 at this point.
Time to pull out 10,000 Days and give it another spin. |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Whenever they get around to it, great. In the meantime I've still been enjoying their best work and seeing them live whenever they play near me.
10,000 Days is a decent album, but it doesn't get nearly as much rotation as their previous works. |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Yeah, I saw an article a couple months ago where Maynard was saying he's been in touch with the guys and they've been delivering him the music, so he can start with the lyrics. Looking forward to it!
|
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
Love 10,000 Days as much as the other albums. Can't wait for 20,000 Days.

Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
From facebook news feed:
TOOL TOUR VISIONS SOMETHING WICKED THIS... YOUR WAY COMES! For those of you who only like NEWS about TOOL, here's something that should be of great interest. The impenetrable veil of my dark scrying mirror FINALLY CLEARED today - enough so, in fact - that I could perceive a large heptagram on a complexly lit stage where four performers were dwarfed by dramatic video projections. Evidently the sonic and visual extravaganza that I was receiving is a rare glimpse of FUTURE TOOL U.S.A. TOUR DATES in the month of JANUARY, 2016 e.v. However, with some of the images in the depths of the black glass not being clearly distinct... YET, fans will have to keep checking back (SOON) on the Tool websites and Tool facebook page for an official announcement containing a list of the SHOW DATES, CITIES and VENUES, as well as for info about a tour support act(s). Regarding an opening band(s), what I was able to discern through the ever-shifting veil will in all likeliness be exciting to many Tool enthusiasts. STAY TUNED, FOLKS... as my trusty SCRYING MIRROR CONTINUES TO CLEAR... |
Re: Tool back in the studio - finally
That annoyingly written article says nothing substantial. 2016 tour? Big whoop. They always play shows, every year.

Rumor: Tool Will Release 2.5 Hour, Double-Album Decem This Fall
