Skeletonwitch is currently writing material for their new album, due out later in the year via Prosthetic Records. A post on the band’s Facebook page comments on the matter:
Tool Win Eight Year Lawsuit, Focus On Recording New Album
Tool’s eight year lawsuit by visual artist Cam De Leon has ended with the ruling in favor of the band with no details made public. De Leon had designed numerous artwork elements for the band at the time and felt he was unfairly paid and the band’s usage exceeded his licenses.
In a new interview, band guitarist Adam Jones spoke about the ongoing legal proceedings:
When you try to be ethical and sleep well at night and try to do the right thing, and people around you are not doing the right thing and trying to take advantage of you, it really affects your creativity and your sleep and your relationships with people and everything you do,”
We would have had an album out a long time ago, we would have been taking more tours. But we’ve been discouraged and distracted by this major lawsuit, which is the worst thing that’s ever happened to us. It reminds me of one of those ads you see on TV where a guy goes, ‘Have you been in a car wreck? Call us!
As for the new album, he mentioned that one song is now complete and ten more are in the works.
“Our greatest strength is jamming and coming up with stuff. We’re doing that really well now and I’m excited about everything we’re working on. Some of it’s really heavy, some of it’s complex and some is more atmospheric, but it’s definitely Tool. I think having this lawsuit out of the way should really speed of the progress of getting the album done.”
Jones was hoping to have this new album out by the year’s end if all goes well, but specifics are still being sorted out. Read the full story here.
