It looks like there may be a quicker turnaround for Tool’s next album. During a recent interview with Loudwire, Justin Chancellor confirmed that the band are “determined to get this one cooking a bit quicker this time.”
Chancellor said the band will be working on new music following their upcoming European/UK tour:
“At that point, we’re looking at a bit of a break, but we’re also looking at a long stretch at home when we’re going to be ready to start meeting up again. But, we’ve already started. We’ve got a few things on the table. It really starts with sharing the ideas with each other, going through what we call a listening party and just sitting at the loft where we write and just kind of re-familiarize ourselves with what’s available to us that we’ve already come up with.”
He continued:
“We never throw anything away and we have plenty of material, it’s just going through that process and then starting to nail down some songs.”
“We’re all getting older, so we’re determined to get this one cooking a bit quicker this time. That’s my pledge.”
He also revealed that drummer Danny Carey has been working on a new beat during soundchecks:
“Danny‘s been working on this beat everyday. It’s amazing, but I hadn’t really played with it, but we had a good half-an-hour and I just really sort of got it. Of course, there’s like three different things going on top of each other, but yeah, it is very exciting. It was like everyone just kind of stopped and we were just working on this thing. Some days you get that vibe and it’s very creative, you know?”
