Fans of the rock band Tool have been waiting 11 years for new music to reach them. Earlier this week, news came out regarding the new album, from Tool’s vocalist, Maynard James Keenan that “words and melodies 100% done,” except for one song. Now, another update has reached fans from guitarist Adam Jones stating that there is, in fact, a target month that the band will start recording the long-awaited album. That intended month will be in March, just one month away.
Jones shared the news in response to Sebastian Bach’s Instagram post which he had posted a few days ago. Bach had visited the studio along with Buzz Osborne and was given a preview of the new music yet to come. Jones stated, “Huge fun & honor performing all the new tunes for Guinea pigs Sebastian & #KingBuzz b4 the recording starts in March. Still instrumentals with Mjk in town work on killer lyrics. Exciting.”
In Bach’s social media post, he posted his comment on his visit stating, “This is not just your average simple rock and roll music. This is progressive metal at its most atmospheric and right when you get into a groovy trance you get beat over the head with riffs so heavy it feels like a TOOL.” He added, “Some tunes were so pummeling it felt like I was getting a deep tissue massage. In fact, they could call the record that. No song was shorter than seven minutes, and some were 20 minutes long! Just my idea of how to spend the perfect day!”
Even though 10,000 Days, the last album released by Tool came out in 2006, the band have kept themselves busy as members of the band take part in a variety of projects. In 2014, Danny Carey and Adam Jones revealed that an ongoing lawsuit had derailed the start of a new album. Luckily for fans, the suit was settled in 2015, and the band has toured intermittently over the last couple of years.
