Tool6

Here we go again…

It’s been ten years since the release of the last Tool album and the hype surrounding the possibility of a new LP seems higher than ever. This is to the point of fanaticism and rumors. Recent days have seen one such juicy rumor hit on Reddit and frankly, the internet ate it up despite the lack of sources. And it’s been spreading like wildfire…

So, let’s clear the air. Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan himself just responded to the rumors as such:

But, if you’re interested in what’s being spread around, it’s the fictional possibility of a double album with the following tracklisting being pushed along with the message found below. For some of the latest, real Tool news you can LOOK HERE.

I think Tool has been leading us on in the press. I absolutely cannot reveal my sources for this. Let’s just say that the mixing process has happened.

I will try to get any additional piece of information I can to try and add further validity. I’m excited too and I hope this is true. Under no circumstance will I reveal any personal information about the source.

Although I really don’t think this is a troll job from my source, there is one thing that makes me suspicious. ‘Decem,’ if my research is right, means ‘ten.’ Could that refer to the 10 years between albums? If so, that seems awful meta for Tool.

I’m a huge fan of Tool myself and will be disappointed if it’s not true. I just wanted to share what could possibly be huge news in the music world.
