Looks like Tool have hit the studio, with Adam sharing a post via Instagram. Interesting to note that Billy Howerdel is in London doing A Perfect Circle media work at the moment, and Instagram suggests that Maynard is also in Europe. Adam suggested earlier that Maynard will join the for 3 weeks in March, I assume those three weeks will be towards the end of the month. ~ Day 1… Read More »Adam posts on Tool’s first day in the studio
Another visitor from the Loft today, this time British rapper Heitham Al-Sayed from the band Senser, who claims that this is the last rehearsal prior to recording. All signs seem to be pointing to Tool reaching conclusion on their next album. We were honored to be invited to the last rehearsal before the recording begins on TOOL’s new album. I closed my eyes and saw visions, it was so moving… Read More »Final Tool rehearsal prior to recording new album?
Not to be outdone by Maynard, Adam posted on Instagram today following a visit to the Loft by Sebastian Bach (formerly of Skid Row) and King Buzzo. In his post he suggests that Tool could kick off recording in March. It’ll be a tight schedule though, with both Tool and A Perfect Circle having tour dates in April/May this year. Update: Adam has updating the Instagram post to suggest March… Read More »Adam suggests new Tool album recording in March
Maynard has given us a refreshing clear answer as to the status of the new Tool album on Twitter this morning, and while it sound like progress is positive, I think we can safely rule out a release in the near future, and probably not until next year: Started getting music files from the boys w the word FINAL in the title a few months ago after 11 years of… Read More »Maynard confirms status of new Tool album
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Maynard and Billy from A Perfect Circle announced that the new album Eat The Elephant will be released on April 20. You can pre-order it here. It’s pretty safe to say that the title and album art is going to create a bit of controversy, so I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on that. Tracklist: EAT THE ELEPHANT DISILLUSIONED CONTRARIAN THE DOOMED… Read More »A Perfect Circle to release Eat The Elephant in April
A couple of Instagram posts today with visitors to the Loft claiming they’ve had a live run through of the new Tool album (albeit without Maynard‘s vocals). Word seems to be that the album is instrumentally finished, but still waiting on Maynard’s additions (which is more or less what Adam indicated last week). Yes it is true… the new Tool record is insane… (vocals still in progress) and the world… Read More »Tool demo new material for Loft visitors
It’s time for another weekly update from our irregular schedule. I’ve skipped the last few, due to the relative frequency of Tool news lately, with both Adam and Danny indicating in recent weeks that things are happening. I’m sure you’ve all read that before – let’s wait until they actually confirm hitting the studio before getting too excited. Anyway, in this weeks issue: Justin plays some riffs at NAMM Danny… Read More »Fourtheye Weekly Update 29-Jan-2018
Adam undertook some more Instagram live streaming yesterday, and while it wasn’t some live cuts from the Loft, it did include a comment that the “Music is done. Lyrics are coming in hard“. Great news that the new Tool album seems to be on the home stretch. Danny also spoke with Overdrive about the new Legends of the Seagullmen album, and once more suggested that things were happening in Tool-land:… Read More »Adam confirms new Tool album is moving towards completion
Tool must have been rehearsing today, and guitar player Adam Jones decided to live stream them tearing through The Grudge on Instagram. For your listening pleasure:
In a recent interview with Kerrang magazine, Danny Carey spoke about Legends of the Seagullmen as well as a slightly more in depth update on the new Tool album. There are no particularly insightful revelations, and Danny does joke around with 2018 and 2019 a bit, which suggest to me maybe he’s not super confident of it being this year (though he does go on to reaffirm it will be… Read More »Danny speaks with Kerrang
