Fans of Tool spent 13 years waiting for their favorite band to drop their new album, and it turns out this numbers is not so unlucky after all. The wait is almost over, and the metal legends finally shared the title of their new record.

The band’s fifth studio album will be called Fear Inoculum, and it’s set to be released on August 30th. Members of Tool faced many creative, personal, and legal issues over the years that forced them to postpone its release, but they’re finally back on track.

The title of their new album isn’t the only exciting piece of information they shared with their fans. Singer Maynard James Keenan revealed that their entire catalog will be added to streaming services on August 2nd.

“We’re a very difficult band. We’re very stubborn and kind of ignorant to what goes on in the rest of the world… and the whole Betamax thing didn’t work for us, and neither did LaserDisc, so we have this new thing called digital media and streaming. We’re gonna try it out,” Keenan said during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.
