Tool planning to record new album

Danny Carey, Tool’s drummer and percussionist, has revealed that the band is planning to record a new studio album and would be going to the studio in the coming months.

Tool, an American rock band, released their last studio album, 10,000 Days, in 2006. Since then, the fans are dying to get their hands on the new album and it seems like their wait is finally going to end.

“We all just get in there and grind ‘em out, you know? Sometimes if I come up with a beat the guys will come up with a riff to that. Justin Chancellor, bassist, has really been prolific on this record. He’s been coming in with tons of riffs. I usually try
to find something to complement it rather than play what he’s playing”, Carey said in an interview.

A major part of Tool’s signature sound is their frequent use of odd time signatures.

“It’s kind of confusing sometimes, especially with some the riffs those guys come up with too — like in 13 or 21 or whatever, we have one in 17 that we’re doing now,” reveals Carey. “It’s coming together soon though. I’m hoping we’ll get in the studio by
June or July and start tracking, that’s the plan anyway”, Corey added.

The drummer revealed that band concludes the tracking rather quickly when they enter the studio.

“The tracking part I’d say [takes] two to three months then probably a month to mix and master and that’s it”, Corey concluded.

Tool’s fourth studio album, 10,000 Days, was the band’s second consecutive album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart and sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide by the end of 2006.
