According to recent evidence from camp Tool, the band's new album is "progressing rather nicely". This is despite their recent legal woes among other events.

Here's a recent statement:

“Good friend and King Crimson percussionist PAT MASTELOTTO stopped by the TOOL LOFT the other day to listen to the guys working on new material. Since the recent sound-proofing renovation, I’m told that the writing/arranging sessions have been progressing rather nicely (welcome news for those waiting for a new record.) As for PAT and the new King Crimson configuration (with 3 amazing and inspiring drummers!), the L.A. shows were nothing less than a mind-boggling sonic experience (as prog rock as prog rock can be!)….”

Furthermore, guitarist Adam Jones just posted up the following photographic evidence.
