As previously announced, TOOL are working on some NEW music. Up until know, in typical TOOL fashion the band have been very mysterious
about the status of their fifth studio album and have only been
communicating with the outside world via their webmaster.
The Rock FM (New Zealand radio station), recently conducted an interview with TOOL's drummer Danny Carey. During the interview Carey discussed the progress of the NEW TOOL album, the effect that their music has on millions of people worldwide and his involvement with Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham from LED ZEPELLIN) on the NEW Superman soundtrack. Listen to the interview at this link:
As reported last week, the band had to postpone a few recording sessions after allegedly two members of the band were involved on some minor accidents. More info HERE! Related links: Tool's Official Site
The announcement comes as the Charlotte, North Carolina band are in the midst of a North American tour, co-headlining Summer Slaughter Tour with a handful of headlining dates later this month. Between The Buried And Me follow the U.S. dates with an extensive European tour, which begins on October 1st in Reading, UK. A list of tour dates is available below.
'The Parallax II: Future Sequence' marks the quintet's most ambitious release to date and their first-full length release on Metal Blade arrives on October 9th. The 12-track, conceptual release was described by Tommy Rogers (vocals, keyboards) as: "A conceptual journey that takes the listener to worlds that seem familiar and worlds that make you scratch your head. From start to finish this is music we want to create, not music we think people want us to create. We create songs that keep us (and hopefully you) excited about Heavy Music." The first single from the release, "Telos," can be streamed below.
Between The Buried And Me have sold in excess of 400,000 records since their 2002 self-titled debut. "The group's ability to layer long, melodic arcs over squibs of dissonance has never been more surgical and soulful," said Alternative Press of the band's prequel to 'The Parallax II' (2011 EP 'The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues'). Revolver described the set as "a cohesive piece of art" and added "Between The Buried And Me are on a level of songwriting skill that few bands hope to reach..."

The previously-announced Western U.S. acoustic tour from Scott Kelly and friends begins tomorrow in Seattle, Washington.
On this tour, the Neurosis/Shrinebuilder frontman will mesmerize open-minded locals and followers of his infamous, dark solo material to audiences across the western half of the country. Kelly hand-picked the opening acts for the tour, including outlaw country rocker Bob Wayne and Country/Folk artist Jay Munly, the goal of the tour to promote the underground Folk/Country Rock movement for these hard-working artists and their vision of what American music can stand for, across the grain of our society’s habitually mainstream musical frame of mind.
Following the tour, Scott Kelly is also now confirmed to play a one-off show in Chicago the first week of the year, where he’ll be performing alongside ambidextrous solo artist Bruce Lamont; the show is free if you RSVPhere.
Also just announced, Scott Kelly will tour Australia and New Zealand for the first time as a solo artist this February. John Baizley (Baroness) will be performing his first ever solo dates as support for Kelly on these dates as well.
