by Ryan Minic | Aug 22, 2013

It appears that Tool are back at work writing a new album.

According the a recent interview with frontman Maynard James Keenan, Keenan is supposed to begin demoing vocals for the forthcoming effort.

“I’m gonna stop by the rehearsal space today, in theory, having beaten them up going, ‘please give me music, please give me music, please give me music, please give me music, please give me music,'” he said. “In theory they have a CD for me today, to listen to some jams, so we can get this thing going.”

No word yet as to when the new record is expected to be completed.
