Tool could very effectively be engaged on new music, or a minimum of that is what bassist Justin Chancellor appears to be implying.
Chancellor posted a photograph of his two basses in instances on Instagram with the caption “Trip is over…” earlier in the present day, which all by itself appears to imply nothing. Till you do not forget that Chancellor told Metal Hammer earlier this 12 months that Tool would resume engaged on new music after they wrapped up their European stay dates. These ended on June 27 and y’know, right here we’re.
“We put somewhat work in earlier than this tour,” mentioned Chancellor on the time. “We gave it a stab for a few months. We ended up compiling all of the concepts we had; usually after we do this we begin writing fairly quickly after, however we had a variety of stuff arising, so we did not dive all the way in which in. After we’re accomplished with Europe, we’re gonna dive again in throughout the second half of the 12 months.”
Chancellor commented on the progress of recent Tool a couple of months later in an interview with Kerrang!, noting the band has some skeletons of some songs ready to be completed.
“There’s completely tons and tons of laborious drives stuffed with stuff,” mentioned Chancellor. “Some concepts return to earlier than Concern Inoculum which might be simply easy riffs that we by no means included right into a track. However generally that is a bit like grinding the gears whenever you’re making an attempt to resurrect or revisit them, so it is actually interesting to work on the latest stuff. Every time we come collectively, folks even have so many new concepts after which we’ll spend all day enjoying them.
“We’re continuously introducing new stuff however then generally that’ll marry with the outdated materials. We have been writing for the final couple of weeks, assembly a few instances every week – we have had some actually good periods, and a variety of it has been model new. We have already got a few stable, what I might say are, skeletons of songs ready to be finalised.”
Alongside the brand new materials is the possibility of new vinyl reissues, as Tool drummer Danny Carey introduced up earlier this 12 months. However you know the way it goes on this planet of Tool – these items take time.
