The long wait for Tool’s new album may be nearly over. According to the PRP, it has been confirmed by Tool drummer Danny Carey on The MetalSucks Podcast, that Tool‘s next album will be out in 2018.

It’s been 11 years since Tool has created an album for fans to obsess over, and it has been a fair amount of doubt if there even would be a new album with sparse the updates the band has been revealing over the years. Earlier this year, bassist Justin Chancellor said Tool was “90 percent there” with the music on the new album. During an interview on The MetalSucks Podcast alongside his Legend Of The Seagullmen bandmate Jimmy Hayward, Carey was asked if Chancellor has lied about the new album coming in 2018.

“Justin made us feel like Tool would have a new album out in 2018. On a scale of 1-10, how much did Justin lie to us?” In which Carey responded “He did not lie to you. On scale of how much he lied, it would be zero. It’ll be out. It’ll be out in 2018.”

The new album will be the follow-up to 2006’s 10,000 Days. Its progress was partly impeded by a long-running, tangled lawsuit, which was settled in 2015.

Meanwhile, Maynard James Keenan’s other band A Perfect Circle is also planning to release a new album in 2018. Carey’s band Legends of the Seagullmen also announced their debut album today, which will be released in February.
