Tool fans can expect a new album from the band very soon. In January this year, frontman Maynard James Keenan revealed on Twitter that the vocals for their latest record have already finished being recorded and he last updated fans about a potential release expected between Mid-May and Mid-July this year.

Update- Midway through mixing. Most likely be a few recalls. Then some arguing. Then Mastering, Artwork, Video, Special Packaging, etc. Best Ballpark Guess- Release date somewhere between Mid May and Mid July. More focused updates to follow as we progress. @tool #simplemath pic.twitter.com/o6T4AloLtB — Maynard J Keenan (@mjkeenan) February 8, 2019
