Blair posted the May Tool Newsletter yesterday, and for those keeping score it doesn’t really contain a whole load of Tool information. It does however contain a biography of Danny’s band Volto! who, in case you’ve been totally ignoring my last couple of posts, you’d know are releasing a new album Incitare in July. Not mentioned in the email is that you can head over to the Volto! website, sign… Read More »May Tool Newsletter released with a Volto! twist

The artwork is by 60s pysch artist Rick Griffin and who’s worked with the Grateful Dead and other artists… Read More »Volto! reveal Incitare cover art, date and other details
John Z from Volto! has given us an update on the coming album via Facebook, posting the back cover of an advance CD, as well as hinting at the date 23rd of July.

Blair has posted the April 2013 Tool Newsletter, and it doesn’t have anything particularly exciting for Tool fans (ie no new album news). It does feature and interesting question regarding Truckfighters, as well as some clarification regard a few things with the Opiate reissue: Q: “Hi!

There hasn’t been an announcement, but several Fourtheye readers have notified me that both Adam’s and Danny’s interview with Blair have been published. The one with Adam appears in the last newsletter on Toolband. It’s largely a reprint of what has already been talked about in other interviews. Danny’s, found on his website, is a little more interesting, and he talks about his work on Opiate and hints at some… Read More »Danny and Adam Opiate interviews with Blair online
