13 years in the making, the time for Tool has arrived.
On Wednesday August 7, the band officially reveals their first song since 2006, the epic title track to their upcoming 5th album, Fear Inoculum. The song is the first sample of the LP due out on August 30.
“Fear Inoculum†is a RADIO.COM World Premiere, which means you can hear it here all throughout the day on Wednesday August 7.
My body is ready! I’m sure a few of us will be online to check it out, so feel free to join the fun in the Fourtheye Discord channel this evening.
Any info on where else it might be available? And what station on Radio.com?
One of the radiodotcom tweets suggested it’ll be on Youtube
Thanks for the heads up,

Just spent $87 on my pre-order from Amazon. Conversion to AUD plus shipping. JB HI-FI knows nothing about any pre orders.
I cannot see $87 version in any country’s Amazon, only the $45 in the US. Could you possibly share the link?
Here’s the link where I purchased from. Just searched Fear Inoculum. The price shows up as $44.98 but at the register it works out the conversion and shipping which makes it $87

Yep, my local JB told me to wait 3 more weeks. I wasn’t taking that risk so I bought a couple from Amazon. The shipping is a killer.
Honestly the price doesn’t bother me. I buy blu rays from the states all the time so the price hike is to be expected. I know our dollar is shit at the moment plus the shipping. Besides, it’s Tool. If there’s one band that deserves my money its definitely this one.
Yeah it doesn’t bother me either, it’s been 13 years so the cost isn’t too much of an issue. I buy a bit of vinyl off bandcamp and that shipping really hurts. It’s a passion and a choice so I’m prepared for the cost.
$80 bucks for a CD does seem crazy, but this packaging is nuts and seeing as there’s no local pre orders up yet, I’d rather just pay the extra. I’ll buy the vinyl locally when it becomes available.
iTunes has the single to buy early.
I just downloaded it and am about to listen

It’s available to buy in Oz already. Really digging it 8 mins in.
WOW, there’s every Tool element there and we found the track with the “one†style drumming we heard a snippet of a year ago. Brilliant
Alright first impressions, love the production. Every member really shines on this track, especially Danny. I hear bits from Lateralus and 10,000 Days all throughout particularly with the percussion.
Right fuckin’ on! This is bad ass!!! Can’t wait for the rest of it! 3rd listen through right now.
Why is shipping so expensive for you guys? Because you’re down under?
Yeah, shipping to here from the US sucks for some reason. Will keep my eyes peeled for a local vendor.
So Hellboi, are you going to pony up and purchase the special edition bundle for the person who won the ‘Guess the release date’ competition? Or just a digital download?
It’s not my competition, but I’m happy to contribute financially if the organiser requests.
I’m on the fence with this song. Some parts I like and others i dont (e.g. the spoken lyric section). It might grow on me over time.
Pretty happy with it – some samey samey elements – danny shines the brightest for sure. Horrible mixing/editing or something @ 10.03 major cock up. Can’t wait to hear the rest for sure. Not sure why you guys are pre-ordering from US amazon you will probably be waiting for it to arrive and the rest of us in AUS will just rock up to JB hifi or whatever and get it day one. I’m thinking the studio versions of Invincible and Descending will be epic!
No harm in pre-ordering from Amazon – can always been cancelled if/when a good local option comes up. I spoke to my local record store earlier today, and they don’t have details from the supplier yet, so expect this is just a timing thing, but still – no one wants to miss out on what could be a somewhat limited record.
