La agrupación estadounidense TOOL informó esta semana que se encuentra afinando los preparativos finales para volver a los estudios de grabación, 11 años después de grabar 10,000 Days (2006).

Así lo confirmó a través de Twitter su vocalista Maynard James Keenan, una de las personas aparentemente más renuentes en reunir a la banda. Si bien aún se desconoce la fecha de su lanzamiento, el músico aseguró que el álbum está completo casi en su totalidad.

Started getting music files from the boys w the word FINAL in the title a few months ago after 11 years of begging. That in theory means the tracks wont change out from under me while I’m trying to write stories and melodies to them. In theory. Still waiting for the FINAL on 1,

«Empecé a obtener archivos de música de los chicos con la palabra final en el título hace unos meses, después de 11 años de ruegos. Eso en teoría significa que las pistas no cambiarán mientras estoy tratando de escribir historias y melodías para ellas. En teoria. Todavía esperando el final definitivo», comentó Keenan

Por su parte, el guitarrista Adam Jones,  acabó de redondear esta información en Instagram, donde desde el cuartel general de TOOL compartió una foto de la banda junto a Sebastian Bach y Buzz Osbourne y expresó: «Un honor interpretar los nuevos temas para Sebastian y King Buzz antes de que la grabación arranque en marzo. Todavia son instrumentales y Maynard esta en cada trabajando en letras matadoras. Emocionante».

~ Huge fun & honor performing all the new tunes for Guinea pigs Sebastian & #KingBuzz b4 the recording starts in March. Still instrumentals with Mjk in town working on killer lyrics. Exciting! ————————–Repost from @sebastianbach @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost How lucky am I? Spent yesterday getting my face melted by 3/4 of TOOL at the TOOL headquarters / rehearsal Studio. My very own private Tool show just missing the vocals! This is not just your average simple rock and roll music. This is progressive metal at its most atmospheric and right when you get into a groovy trance you get beat over the head with riffs so heavy it feels like a TOOL. Some tunes were so pummelling it felt like I was getting a deep tissue massage! in fact they could call the record that. No song was shorter than 7 minutes and some were 20 minutes long! Just my idea of how to spend the perfect day! Thank you so much to my great friend Adam Jones and Justin Chancellor on bass for your hospitality! Danny Carey you are one of the most talented drummers I have ever seen in my life and such a nice fun dude! You are all inspirations to me & thank you so much for the great preview! I can only Imagine what the Majestic vocals of Maynard James Keenan would sound like on top of this music. If it’s as delicious as his wine is, then I am buying this record for sure! ????????????cheers guys ! It was also great to see Buzz Osbourne the guitar player for The Melvins, who I last saw backstage in Seattle (I think) when we were drinking beers with Chris Cornell decades ago. Always good to see someone still doing great so many years down the line! #Melvins #Tool #MathRock #Rehearsal #rock #survivors
