In a recent chat with Revolver Magazine, bassist Justin Chancellor and drummer Danny Carey discussed Tool’s plans for the future and the possibility of recording new music. According to the duo, the group wants to speed up the process this time.

“Time is precious now, so you try and look for ways to be more efficient with the process,” Chancellor said. “We’ve had a lot of discussion about that and how we can bring a new record to fruition in a slightly different way.”

Carey added that recording new music is a “painstaking process” for Tool as the whole band, which also consists of vocalist Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Adam Jones, needs to like a particular song to move forward with it. This “pays off in the long run” because that way, the band doesn’t get tired of playing their songs during live shows.

One way Tool will try to get their music faster to fans without compromising their creative process is by releasing an extended play (EP) rather than an entire album. This is something that the band is strongly considering, according to Carey.

“We’re free agents now,” he explained. “We aren’t signed to a label anymore. We are free to do whatever we want.”

Tool topped the US Billboard 200 charts with Fear Inoculum, while the release received critical acclaim. The 15-minute long track “7empest” was recognized with a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.

But after more than a decade of holding out, the American rockers finally debuted some new songs during their set at Jacksonville’s Welcome to Rockville festival.

During the show, Tool performed two of their new tracks, “Descending” and “Invincible.” These two songs are expected to be a part of the band’s new studio album, which will be their first since 2006’s 10,000 Days.

There have been rumors about Tool’s new album for the past several years, but the band only confirmed it in late 2017. Since then, there have been several contradictory reports about its progress and release date before frontman Maynard James Keenan went on Twitter in September 2018 and said the album is expected to come out between May and July.

“Midway through mixing,” Keenan wrote on Twitter. “Most likely be a few recalls. Then some arguing. Then Mastering, Artwork, Video, Special Packaging, etc. Best Ballpark Guess- Release date somewhere between Mid May and Mid July. More focused updates to follow as we progress.”
