Tool<\/a> will release their long-awaited new album, August 30th, per a video posted on the band\u2019s Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Blabbermouth<\/a>, the clip appeared on social media not long after the band flashed \u201cAugust 30th\u201d on the big screen at their show in Birmingham, Alabama Tuesday night. Frontman Maynard James Keenan<\/a> reportedly encouraged fans to share the news via social media.<\/p>\n

\u2014 TOOL effing TOOL (@Tool) May 8, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The album announcement comes several days after Tool kicked off their North American tour<\/a> at Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville, Florida with a set list that featured two new songs<\/a>, \u201cDescending\u201d and \u201cInvincible\u201d (Tool had been performing an instrumental version of \u201cDescending\u201d live since 2014). The tour continues tonight, May 8th, in Louisville, Kentucky and wraps May 19th in Bridgeview, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Tool\u2019s as-yet-untitled album will mark their fifth full-length and first in 13 years, following 2006\u2019s 10,000 Days<\/em><\/a>. In February, Keenan offered an update on the album on Twitter<\/a>, writing, \u201cMidway through mixing. Most likely be a few recalls. Then some arguing. Then Mastering, Artwork, Video, Special Packaging, etc. Best Ballpark Guess- Release date somewhere between Mid May and Mid July.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tool\u2019s new album, however, will arrive amidst allegations<\/a> that Keenan raped a 17-year-old woman in 2000 when he was 36. Last June, an anonymous woman took to Twitter using the handle @IWas17HeWas36<\/a> and claimed the attack took place after a Nine Inch Nails concert, which featured Keenan\u2019s other band, A Perfect Circle, as the opener. The woman alleged that Keenan spotted her in the crowd, took her back to his tour bus, put a movie on, began touching her and taking off his clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no consent made,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI was not high. I was clean. He did not seduce me, he forced me, quickly taking advantage of my paralyzed state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keenan denied the accusation, calling it a \u201cdespicable false claim\u201d on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cMany thanks to those of you who saw right through this despicable false claim that only does damage to the #MeToo movement,\u201d Keenan said. \u201cAnd shame on those of you who perpetuate this destructive clickbait. As for my delayed but un-required response, I had my phone off. You should try it.\u201d<\/p>\n
