Tool are notorious for taking their sweet time between albums, especially the 13 years between 2006’s 10,000 Days and 2019’s Fear Inoculum. Now, even singer Maynard James Keenan is insisting that the band can’t wait that long to put out the next one.
“Tool is a more complicated beast with a lot of egos and a lot of other things going on in our lives,” Keenan told Metal Hammer in a new interview. “But all the creativity’s there, the songs and the ideas can flow and the arguments ensue.”

He continued, “As soon as we get past the arguments, we can get shit done! [Laughs] I think we could do it more efficiently. And I think everyone’s on the same page that we have to get through that, because we can’t drag this out another 14 years.”

Tool took 13 years to follow up 2006’s 10,000 Days with 2019’s Fear Inoculum, but bassist Justin Chancellor assures fans that the next album won’t take nearly as long.
“[Drummer] Danny [Carey] is 62 now, so there’s no thought of taking 13 years if we’re gonna do it,” Chancellor told Metal Hammer in a new interview. “We’re gonna have to be more efficient, and we’ve been talking of ways that we can do that.”
The bassist went on to mention his side project MTVoid with vocalist Peter Mohamed, saying, “Maybe taking a leaf out of how me and Peter work with MTVoid – instead of staring at each other going ‘Come on, get it out of ya,’ maybe we could do a bit more at home. We’ll see.”

With Tool on the road during the first several months of 2024, bassist Justin Chancellor expects the band to hit the studio to begin recording a follow-up to 2019’s Fear Inoculum in the “second half of the year.”
Tool kick off a new US arena tour on Wednesday (January 10th) in Baltimore (tickets available here), and then embark on a UK/European outing in late May.
Heavy Consequence recently caught up with Chancellor to talk about his project MTVoid (stay tuned for our full interview with Chancellor and bandmate Peter Mohamed), and he gave us a bit of insight into Tool’s plans for new music.
“Well, there’s a lot to be put together,” Chancellor remarked. “We have, as usual, loads of ideas, loads of stuff that didn’t get used — constantly writing new stuff. I write something, I immediately know it’s for Tool. It sounds the right way.

Two titans of progressive music came together on Monday night (November 20th) when Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson joined Tool onstage during the latter’s concert at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
Tool notoriously don’t allow filming with cellphones during their concerts, but a few fans snuck footage of the historic moment, as seen in the clips below. Lifeson joined Tool for the 10,000 Days track “Jambi,” incorporating the intro and guitar solo of Rush’s “A Passage to Bangkok” from the iconic 2112 album.
Lifeson grew up in Toronto, making the surprise performance a hometown gig for the guitar legend. It marked a rare appearance by the guitarist, who last year performed alongside Rush bandmate Geddy Lee at Foo Fighters’ tribute concert to the late Taylor Hawkins in Los Angeles.
Just recently, Lee has been talking about the future of Rush, who haven’t played a show since 2015. Following the passing...

It’s no surprise that there have been a glut of high-profile music releases crowding into the tail end of August. Since August 23 alone we’ve seen new albums from Missy Elliott (“Iconology”), Taylor Swift (“Lover”), Raphael Saadiq (“Jimmy Lee”) and Tanya Tucker (“While I’m Livin'”), to name a few. That may be due in no small part to the new Grammy eligibility deadline, August 31. So on Friday, August 30, we got another batch of big names dropping their latest collections just in the nick of time.
The most acclaimed of those may be Tool, whose “Fear Inoculum” has a MetaCritic score of 89 as of this writing, making it one of the highest rated albums of 2019. It’s the metal group’s first album in 13 years following their platinum-selling “10,000 Days” in 2006. There have been numerous delays since then, but critics are saying it was “worth the wait” and “lives up to its daunting expectations.
