Tool’s New Album Officially Named: “Fear Inoculum”, Back Catalog Goes To DSPs This Week


Tool has announced the title of their new album, Fear Inoculum, due out on August 30th 2019. The second word in the title is Latin for needle or material used to give inoculations. The follow-up to 2006’s “10,000 Days” is due on August 30. The disc is expected to include the songs ‘Descending’ and ‘Invincible’, which the band has performed live since this past April. Produced by Joe Barresi, and mastered by Bob Ludwig, who previously worked on 10,000 Days. Recording commenced in March 2018, with drummer Danny Carey laying down his tracks first and bassist Justin Chancellor recording his parts next. Tool will also share their entire back catalog on all digital streaming platforms this week, in a move long-awaited by fans, perhaps even more than new music.
