New Tool Album Expected in Early 2014

 Fans of the alternative metal band Tool have much to celebrate as the tentative date for the band’s latest album has been announced for early next year. The band has been around for fifteen years and has developed a cult following after breaking out of their previous act, Green Jelly. This as-yet-untitled album will be their fifth full studio release.

The band has been on a hiatus since 2006, when they released their Grammy-winning album, 10,000 Days, which was released on April 28, 2006. The band explored the genre of art rock in their previous album and while talking to Loud Wire, Danny Carey stated, “Stylistically, we’re trying to push things in different ways, but it always comes out sounding like Tool no matter what we’re trying to do.”

“Right now, since we haven’t started tracking stuff at this point, it’ll be hard,” Carey told Loud Wire on being asked if the long awaited new album would be out in 2013. “We could have the record finished by the end of the year [2013] — that’s a possibility, but the logistics of getting it manufactured and getting the record company in line and all this stuff, I doubt we’ll be able to get it out before Christmas. We’ll see how it goes. Most likely, it’ll be early 2014.”

“It’s still the three of us right now and four of us it will be soon, you know, just working on all our parts and working on our compositions together,” Carey mentioned, referring to Keenan’s current absence from the studio. Manard James Keenan is right now busy with his side project, Pucifiers and released an EP with the band Donkey Punch the Night earlier in 2013.
