It’s been so long since Tool released new music that some fans have given up hope that their favorite band will get back into the studio in their lifetime.
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.”
