Gotove skoro sve pjesme za novi Tool album, snimanje počinje u martu!

Vjerovatno ste do sada primijetili da kada čitate vijesti o novom albumu grupe Tool, priča ide otprilike ovako: neki član benda, koji nije pjevač Mejnard Džejms Kinan (Maynard James Keenan), podijeli obećavajuće novosti o tome kako je album skoro završen, samo da bi Kinan pokvario radost iščekivanja, npr. jednim “podrigom”.

Za divno čudo, sada to nije slučaj, jer je ovoga puta Kinan ličnost donosi nove vijesti.

Štaviše, to su (donekle) obećavajuće novosti. Naime. Kinan je otkrio da je napokon “prije nekoliko mjeseci dobio muzičke fajlove od momaka, sa rječju FINAL u njihovom nazivu, nakon što sam ih molio 11 godina. To u teoriji znači da se pjesme neće mijenjati, dok pokušavam napisati tekstove i melodije za njih. Još čekam na jednu finalnu verziju, ali to je to. Riječi i melodije su 100% gotove, osim za jednu pjesmu”, naveo je Mejnard u obraćanju preko svog Twitter profila.

Started getting music files from the boys w the word FINAL in the title a few months ago after 11 years of begging. That in theory means the tracks wont change out from under me while I’m trying to write stories and melodies to them. In theory. Still waiting for the FINAL on 1,

Kinan je takođe naveo da bend tek treba snimiti materijal te da postoji šansa da članovi benda izmijene muziku, što bi dodatno odložilo proces.

“Jednog dana ćemo ih snimiti. Još smo daleko od cilja, ali smo barem nešto bliži. U međuvremenu, novi A Perfect Circle izlazi 20. aprila”, podsjetio je Mejnard na album svog drugog benda, dodajući heštagove u svom stilu – “dok ste vi kukali, ja sam radio” i “eto vam novosti”.

I to nije sve, jer se nakon njega oglasio i gitarista Adam Džouns (Adam Jones), koji je na Instagramu naveo da snimanje albuma počinje u martu.

“Veoma je zabavno i čast nam je odsvirati sve nove kompozicije zamorčićima – Sebastijanu (Sebastian Bach) i Kingu Bazu (Buzz Osbourne), prije nego što snimanje počinje u martu. Još uvijek su to instrumentali, dok je MJK u gradu i radi na ubitačnim tekstovima. Uzbudljivo!”, napisao je Džouns.

~ Huge fun & honor performing all the new tunes for Guinea pigs Sebastian & #KingBuzz b4 the recording starts in March. Still instrumentals with Mjk in town working on killer lyrics. Exciting! ————————–Repost from @sebastianbach @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost How lucky am I? Spent yesterday getting my face melted by 3/4 of TOOL at the TOOL headquarters / rehearsal Studio. My very own private Tool show just missing the vocals! This is not just your average simple rock and roll music. This is progressive metal at its most atmospheric and right when you get into a groovy trance you get beat over the head with riffs so heavy it feels like a TOOL. Some tunes were so pummelling it felt like I was getting a deep tissue massage! in fact they could call the record that. No song was shorter than 7 minutes and some were 20 minutes long! Just my idea of how to spend the perfect day! Thank you so much to my great friend Adam Jones and Justin Chancellor on bass for your hospitality! Danny Carey you are one of the most talented drummers I have ever seen in my life and such a nice fun dude! You are all inspirations to me & thank you so much for the great preview! I can only Imagine what the Majestic vocals of Maynard James Keenan would sound like on top of this music. If it's as delicious as his wine is, then I am buying this record for sure! 🎛️🔈🍷cheers guys ! It was also great to see Buzz Osbourne the guitar player for The Melvins, who I last saw backstage in Seattle (I think) when we were drinking beers with Chris Cornell decades ago. Always good to see someone still doing great so many years down the line! #Melvins #Tool #MathRock #Rehearsal #rock #survivors

Gitarista je u nastavku citirao post sa Instagrama koji je podijelio spomenuti Sebastijan Bah, bivši frontmen grupe Skid Row, koji je nedavno posjetio Tool u ​​studiju i slušao novi album.

“Ovo nije samo prosječna, jednostavna rok muzika. Ovo je ‘najatmosferičniji’ progresivni metal i baš onda kada uđete u groovy trans, u glavu vas udare teški Tool rifovi. Neke pjesme tako udaraju da sam se osjećao kao da sam na dubinskoj masaži tkiva! Zapravo, mogli su tako nazvati ploču. Nijedna pjesma nije bila kraća od sedam minuta, a neke su trajale 20 minuta!”, napisao je Bah oduševljeno.

Podsjećamo, posljednji album grupe Tool je “10,000 Days”, koji je objavljen u maju 2006. godine.
