We don’t need to remind Tool fans that it’s been a long—long—wait for new music. The last we heard was in summer 2014, when the band admitted a long and expensive lawsuit was hindering any new efforts. And while we’d love if we had some more concrete news here—dates or, better yet, actual music—we do have a new Instagram update from singer Maynard James Keenan showing the band in the studio together where, he says, things are “definitely progressing.”
Check it out below. We’ll be sure to fill you in on more updates on this album in four years.
“I’ve been making regular trips to LA to check on the writing progress of my Tool brethren. Things a progressing nicely. Slowly, but definitely progressing. Nothing is recorded yet, but the guys are confident that the pieces are coming together swimmingly and will be ready for me to begin writing melodies and content ‘soon’. I’m as anxious to get this album completed as everyone else. But as history will show, you can’t rush these gents. Patience is Gold in this Sound Mine. In the meantime, as always, other things are simultaneously occurring. Life is too short not to create something with every breath we draw.”
