10 Most Anticipated Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Albums Of 2017
7. Tool - TBA
How many albums have alternative metal mavens Tool made in their more-than-a-quarter-of-a-century-long career? Four.
And when was the last time a Tool record came out? 2006.
When will the next Tool record come out? 2017. We hope...
Even though the quartet has been talking about the work on their long-overdue fifth album since 2008, it sounds like they're getting close to being ready to unveil it to the world.
Recording seems to be very, very well underway. According to the band, they're working on it "four days a week", and have been since September, with the shortest song supposedly a grandiose 12 minutes.
What the hell are those guys cooking up?! Could this end up out-progressiving Dream Theater's utterly insane The Astonishing album, which came out in January 2016 and has an utterly mad two-hour run-time?
