In case you missed the news, Tool officially announced that their long-awaited new album Fear Inoculum will land on August 30 - ending a 13 year drought plagued upon fans since their 2006 record 10,000 Days.

And now the band have dropped a ton of new info about the record in a monster 20-page interview for Revolver Magazine, confirming that the album is 85 minutes long over just seven tracks, and the themes of Fear Inoculum center around growing older.

Frontman Maynard James Keenan offered his own take on the album's themes, saying:

“I can give you some broad strokes, but I don’t want to ruin the experience for you. I feel like that’s always an individual’s right to process things in the way they wanna process them, and I wouldn’t want to take that from you. But I can give you pieces. Again, it goes back to experience."

"I feel like this is wisdom through age, through experience. Hopefully through aging you find wisdom in some of the things you've encountered. Learning from your mistakes, learning from your successes. So if anything is a broad stroke of this album, it would be embracing where we are right now, acknowledging where we've come from and some of the things we've grown through."

Regarding the length of the album Keenan also stated:

“There’s gonna be a lot of people who might not get this album because it does take engagement. if you don’t have the patience for that, you’re probably not gonna get this album.”

After years of wondering whether this record would ever see the light of day, we still need to pinch ourselves that it's so close!
