Tool bassist Justin Chancellor offered an optimistic update on when the band might record a new album in an exclusive interview in the new issue of Metal Hammer. Addressing the 13 year gap between 2019's Fear Inoculum and 2006's 10,000 Days, Chancellor admitted the band couldn't afford to have such big gaps between releases.
"Danny [Carey, Tool drummer] is 62 now, so there’s no thought of taking 13 years if we’re gonna do it," he explains. "We’re gonna have to be more efficient, and we’ve been talking of ways that we can do that. Maybe taking a leaf out of how me and Peter [Mohamed, Justin’s bandmate in side project MTVoid] work with MTVoid – instead of staring at each other going ‘Come on! Get it out of ya!’ maybe we could do a bit more at home. We’ll see!"
