Tool has been systematically posting animated versions of their past album's artwork on Instagram and Facebook recently, beefing up their social media presence before they start announcing the new album. All we know at this point is that Tool's first record since 2006 is out on August 30 and it might feature a new logo on the cover. Now in a new Instagram post, the band has revealed that everyone's wait for new album information will come to a close this Monday. Unless this is all a tease, but it's a little late in the game for psych-outs, right?

The post says vocalist Maynard James Keenan will be on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where he'll make "some long awaited announcements." So maybe the album title? When we can expect a single that isn't a live bootleg? Maybe some other stuff? Who knows, but I think I speak for quite a lot of us when I say this – HELL YES. FINALLY.

"This Monday @puscifer will be on @joerogan to discuss how @eddiebravo has been the subject of the @elonmusk brain chip research this whole time. Also making some long awaited announcements. You should look into it. #tool2019"

Guitarist Adam Jones discussed the process of the new album during a Q&A session in 2018 as transcribed by Alternative Nation. It should be noted, these interview clips are transcribed from some of the meet and greets Tool arranged last May.

Jones talked about how it has come to be and adds that a "lot of the songs on the new record are in 7, it's pretty incredible."
