At Long Last, Tool Will Release Their New Album This August!
Almost exactly one year ago, Tool teased the first piece of music off their forthcoming new record, the first since the 2006 release of 10,000 Days.
Now, just days after performing two new songs, “Descending” and “Invincible,” at Welcome to Rockville, the band has officially, officially, officially announced an August 30th release for their brand new album. It is one of the most anticipated of the year.
As noted by Loudwire, during the intermission of last night’s (May 7) show in Birmingham, Alabama, a video screen displayed the text “August 30”. The band’s official Twitter account then confirmed it, breaking the internet.
The site also notes that official profiles also recently appeared on music streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music, indicating that one of streaming’s longest holdouts may finally release their catalog for digital consumption.
Last year, Tool frontman James Maynard Keenan released his new A Perfect Circle album, Eat the Elephant.

After appearing in Rob Zombie’s music videos and movies over the years, Sheri Moon Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) has now released her own debut single and music video, I Love My Robot. The video, which you can watch below, was directed by husband Rob Zombie.
The track playfully takes a jab at the use of Generative AI in the arts.
The official press release details, “Helmed by acclaimed producer Zeuss and accompanied by a video directed by Rob Zombie, the track blends retro sci-fi, playful camp, and infectious hooks into an irresistibly offbeat anthem that is unmistakably Sheri.
“Tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly timely, I Love My Robot offers a witty take on life in an increasingly algorithm-driven world. Beneath its infectious energy and B-movie charm, the song celebrates imagination, individuality, and the simple joy of thinking for yourself.
“It’s a playful reminder that while technology may make life easier, nothing can replace genuine creativity or human connection.”
A limited edition picture disc vinyl featuring “I Love My Robot” on Side A and Rob Zombie’s “Sir Lord Acid Wolfman” on Side B is now available for pre-order. Only 600 copies are being released worldwide, and it’ll be available on October 30, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Pre-order your copy now and listen to I Love My Robot on all your favorite platforms.
