Though he’s not likely to silence the band’s various detractors, Tool drummer Danny Carey has once again stated that the band’s long-awaited new album will arrive this year. Speaking recently with Musicradar.com, he said of the band’s progress with their follow-up to 2006’s “10,000 Days”
“All I can say is it’s still something in progress… Definitely this year.”
The meat of the conversation focused on Carey‘s involvement in Legend Of The Seagullmen, who will release their self-titled debut on February 09th. During that chat Carey went on to praise live improvisation while lamenting the crutches many drummers currently use, offering:
“It’s a sad thing when almost every band you see isn’t playing doing that, it’s the clicks and backing tracks that are keeping time. I’ve never played to a click on stage in my life…”
