Long awaited follow-up to 10,000 Days will land in the spring according to drummer Carey

Tool’s Danny Carey has said that the band’s much-anticipated new album will be out mid-April.

The drummer was speaking to a fan at Californian music industry conference NAMM. A video shows him apparently letting slip with the release date, adding: “That’s the plan, anyway.”

The prog-metal band began recording the as-yet-untitled follow up to 2006’s 10,000 Days in March 2018 with engineer Joe Baresi. 

Earlier in January 2018, singer Maynard James Keenan revealed that he has recorded his vocals “months ago”.

Tool will headline several US and European festivals this summer, including Download Festival on Sunday June 16.
