Adam suggests new Tool album recording in March

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 confirms status of new Tool album

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

A Perfect Circle to release Eat The Elephant in April

A Perfect Circle to release Eat The Elephant in April

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

Tool demo new material for Loft visitors

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

Fourtheye Weekly Update 29-Jan-2018

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 confirms new Tool album is moving towards completion

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

Adam Live Streams The Grudge

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:

Danny speaks with Kerrang

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

Hellboy’s Top 10 Albums of 2017

Yesterday I dropped the Fourtheye Readers Top 10, now today I present my own top 10 albums on 2017. The list is presented loosely in order.  Overall I thought it was a pretty solid year for albums, with a few newer bands I’d been keeping my eyes on releasing some excellent albums.  There seems to be a few less older or nostalgia acts releasing albums these days, so probably many… Read More »Hellboy’s Top 10 Albums of 2017

Fourtheye Readers Top 10 Albums of 2017

The results are in for the Fourtheye Readers Top 10 Albums of 2017.  The poll didn’t get a huge amount of entries this year (partially my fault, since I didn’t push it too hard) but also a reflection of lower traffic these days on Fourtheye (I think partly to to many now consuming Tool news via various Social Media channels rather than older style websites). Anyway, without further delay, here… Read More »Fourtheye Readers Top 10 Albums of 2017
