Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan has updated fans on the progress of the band’s upcoming album.
The vocalist took to Twitter Saturday (Feb. 17) to discuss the progress they’ve been making on the album. “Started getting music files from the boys w the word FINAL in the title a few months ago after 11 years of begging,” he wrote.
“That in theory means the tracks won’t change out from under me while I’m trying to write stories and melodies to them…Words & Melodies 100% DONE on all but 1. Someday we’ll track them. Long way from the finish line, but at least we’re closer.”
