The last time we got an update on the next Tool album, it turned out to be not a real update. This is legit though as it comes from a newsletter posted to the band’s website this past Monday. For the record, this wasn’t actually written by a member of the band, but a staff member […]

And while it has been over seven years since 10,000 Days came out (May 2, 2006 for those of you keeping track), drummer Danny Carey stated in a recent interview that it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing album #5 […]

By now, fans are probably familiar with the newsletter posted on Tool’s website, the same one that had us assuming the band were finally recording new music. And while it later turned out that Tool wasn’t the band in the studio being referred to (hey, at least we’ll get a new album from Danny Carey’s […]

Yesterday, fans (including us) were excited when a newsletter on Tool’s website revealed that band members supposedly recorded with producer/ engineer Joe Barresi during Thanksgiving last week. However, it would appear that we’ve all jumped the gun. Shortly after buzz swept the web, the newsletter was updated to mention that it was drummer Danny Carey’s […]
