Behemoth vocalist/guitarist Nergal, drummer Morgan Ågren (Mats/Morgan Band, Kaipa), Paul De Maio (Entertain The Beast) and more were among the latest to hear some of what Tool has in store for their new album. They were treated to an apparent rehearsal of 5-6 new songs, without vocals as Maynard James Keenan doesn’t seem to have been in attendance. You can read their thoughts on that below:
Morgan Ågren:
“Amazing day… got invited to see TOOL rehearse in their studio. Sat on a chair just a few feet in front of Danny’s drums, with Adam Jones on my right and Justin Chancellor on my left. Just before they started to rehearse, Andy turns over to me and says ”you have to imagine what this will sound like with vocals later” and then they were off, and it sounded so great!! Hypnotic stuff!!
They played 5-6 songs from their upcoming album that the whole TOOL community have been waiting for a long time now. Big honor to be invited there at all. Supernice guys as well. After this we went to see Meshuggah in Hollywood, who did an amazing concert, totally ripping. And the same morning before all this, we passed by Steve Vai’s studio to give him some Ehrlund microphones to try out. What a day… Back to Sweden now. Thank you universe”
Adam “Nergal” Darski:

Paul De Maio:
“Epic hangs with some amazing humans. Very honoured to have been invited to hear and experience reaaal close up performance of most of the music (vocals still in progress) from their long awaited new record and the world is just not ready for this… beyond grateful to have just witnessed this with @nergal69 and @morganagren at The Loft. Really no words for this… now heading to really cap this Cali trip in style with @meshuggahband … 🙏🤘”
