Tool has announced the news that fans have been waiting for now for over a decade- a new album is close to being completed. The Facebook statement however is the first formal confirmation from the band that the follow-up to 10,000 Days is nearing completing. “After all the years of writing and arranging (and re-arranging) at the band’s loft, I can at this time officially report that the guys have moved into a major studio where the recording process for the next album is about to begin in earnest,” the statement notes. “For the past few days the band members have been getting sonically adjusted to their new surroundings – dialing in the equipment settings and restaurant catering choices – in preparation for [drummer] Danny [Carey] to begin his tracking any time now – perhaps by the time that you read this!
“Pinch yourself if you want, but I have been told that all systems are GO at this point for the upcoming sessions,” the statement adds.
