As promised, there was a special announcement from Tool on September 23rd, though it’s probably safe to say it’s not the kind of announcement many were hoping for. Instead it gives details of a special Tool VIP session happening the day before the Monster Mash show in Arizona. Details are below: Thank you for your attention concerning an important announcement from TOOL. For those of you who are planning to… Read More »Tool VIP session announced

Also with the… Read More »Puscifer release title track from Money Shot

New tour dates (possibly Australian)? Details of the new album? A curveball? More blankets? Read the newsletter below with calendar in… Read More »Tool September 2015 Newsletter
