Tool are set to release their highly anticipated album at the end of this month, unveiling the title of the record just last week.
Today, the band have shared pre-order info while unveiling the Fear Inoculum album artwork across their social media platforms.
According to the band’s posts, we can expect the title track and pre-orders to go live this Wednesday, August 7. They’ll be posting links tomorrow, August 6.
Tool guitarist Adam Jones revealed the album will be 85 minutes in length and include seven tracks plus two transitions.
In an interview with Guitar World, Jones reveals how the number seven will be a reoccurring theme within the album.
“I took a picture pointing to the number seven while we were recording, and a lot of the riffs Justin [Chancellor] and I brought in were in seven,” Jones explains. “You don’t really go, ‘I’m going to write a riff in seven!’…Without being too descriptive about the concept, the main thing is that the seven beat just kept coming up, and riffs in seven kept coming up. It was really weird!”
