It was recently 10 years since the last launch of Tool and the fans of the band haven't received much news, except that the musical arrangements were practically ready and about autobiographical book from the singer Maynard James Keenan coming out in November.
The most recent update comes from an external agent to the group, since the singer of Melvins, Buzz osbornefriend of the guitarist Adam Jones He spoke during an interview with TeamRock about the successor of the ‘10,000 Days’:
“Bandas como Tool puede dedicar seis meses de estudio para grabar un nuevo álbum y luego estar 10 años preparando el siguente. Y ellos ni siquiera han comenzado a grabar, pero Adam [Jones] me ha dicho que la canción mas corta con la que han estado trabajando, dura 12 minutos…”
Just as you read it! Despite the advances the band has had, they haven't even started recording. No wonder Maynard declared que a pesar de que habían encontrado “terreno común, simplemente no podían avanzar” con el nuevo material.
