Tool hoping for early 2014 album release

Tool drummer Danny Carey has observed the current state of the band’s new album, affirming the group will enter the studio later in the year, with plans to release the new full-length in early 2014.

“We could have the record finished by the end of the year — that’s a possibility, but the logistics of getting it manufactured and getting the record company in line and all this stuff, I doubt we’ll be able to get it out before Christmas. We’ll see how it goes. Most likely, it’ll be early 2014,” Carey told Loudwire.


The drummer added:


“Stylistically, we’re trying to push things in different ways, but it always comes out sounding like Tool no matter what we’re trying to do. We’re working everyday on it and it’s going really well, so I’m hoping we’ll get into the studio by the end of the year.”
