Guitarist Adam Jones also chimed in on Instagram, writing that the band intends to head into the studio to record in April, and reposting a comment from Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach, who says he stopped by to visit the group recently and was treated to some of the new songs. Good news for Tool fans: Bach’s descriptions were suitably glowing, in a “let’s all get our faces melted off” kind of way.

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!
