Progressive metallers, Tool, have a
track record of taking lengthy periods of time to work on new material; with
five years grace between the release of 2001's 'Lateralus' and their last
offering '10,000 days'. 7 years on, it looks like the wait for another release
is coming to a close, with the bands lead singer, James Maynard Keenan, hinting
at a 2014 release for the band's next studio album, as well as new material from
his other projects, 'A Perfect Circle' and 'Puscifer'.
This was originally covered by
Loudwire.com in an article in which they also pointed to drummer, Danny
Carey, stating in a previous interview with them that a new Tool album would be "Most likely... early 2014". Also, Keenan hinted further at a 2014 release, posting on Puscifer's Instagram account saying:
This is great news for fans of the
band who are undoubtedly eager to hear new material after what is the longest
period between albums to date. With information being scarce, we are reporting
what we know; it will be interesting to see if the quality of the release equates to the time taken to create it. Let's not forget other long-anticipated wait
between albums, most notably, the 15 year
wait between 'The Spaghetti Incident' and
'Chinese Democracy' by Guns N' Roses. If you know of any longer waits
then comment below!
As soon as more information is released we will let you know; here's hoping for a snippet off the new album, so watch this space!
What is your opinion on Tool's
lengthy time frames for albums? Do you prefer a longer time between releases or
are you keen on quicker releases? Let us know in the comments.
