"We threw everything away at one point": Justin Chancellor talks new Tool material, fashion and why MTVoid aren't a supergroup

Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey at the Grammys in 2020.

Justin Chancellor might be best known as the bassist of Tool, but the cosmic prog metal masters are by no means his only creative outlet. Alongside Peter Mohamed, Chancellor is the mastermind behind MTVoid, an otherworldly industrial-tinged project whose debut album Nothing's Matter was released in 2013. 

It might have taken the pair a decade to release a follow-up - with 2023's Matter's Knot, Pt. 1 - but as Chancellor speaks to Hammer he admits that he isn't planning on waiting too long before working on a new album, both with MTVoid and Tool. We also got him chatting on his sharp fashion sense and how it felt when Tool (temporarily) dethroned Taylor Swift with 2019's long-awaited Fear Inoculum.
