When Tool started displaying a teaser graphic that had their logo and the date "August 30th" earlier this week, the implication was that was the release date for a new album.
Some Tool fans were understandably skeptical. "Yea, August 30th – but what year?" I would see online. Memes were made. Now, frontman Maynard James Keenan has responded to one such meme confirming that the album will in fact be released on August 30th, 2019.
