Tool : Demo 5 New Songs Leaked Confirmed by Adam Jones

Tool have been hard at work on a new studio album, and a recent update from guitarist Adam Jones paints a somewhat positive picture of where things stand.

At a recent meet-and-greet held prior to the band’s show in Salt Lake City, Jones told fans that he, Danny Carey, and Justin Chancellor are in the studio working three days a week. The good news? They have two albums worth of material recorded. As of now, however, only five of those songs “meet their Tool standard” and Maynard James Keenan has yet to write any lyrics (he traditionally waits until 90% of the instrumentals are written, Jones explained).

Jones also reportedly played the attendees a riff of music from the new album.

0:00 Invincible (Early Version)
1:59 (Schism Variation)
5:12 Bouncy Arab
9:27 Descending

For those who don’t know: Descending is actually a full version of a jam track they used to play called Ascending.

When you come back in 2019 and find out.. .This IS real. lmao!

[satevo]

I would never believe it was a demo if i didn't see the cassette tape. Confirmed...

[Viktorreznov]

Tool needs a unreleased tracks album. It would probably be one of their best.

[themusicthrills]

I really wish the part from 5:12 to 9:20 would make it on a future album. I love that base tone. It sound nasty.

[dirtyduck]

Safe to say this is legit, descending and invincible heard on this

[Nick-ihxg]

that riff in the beginning is sick. I guess that evolved into invincible. It'd be so cool to hear all the scrapped material and jams in the studio.

[picajoool]

02:40....cool little melody....but it didnt get to the new album :-(

[metalhos]

someone should take the part from 1:06 and layer it with Justin's bass demonstration several weeks ago, where he played a new riff. i'd guess these things belong together

[bakunfase]

It’s so crazy how close at this stage in the demo Descending is to Lateralus

[brandenrogers]

So bouncy Arab bass line is what is now in Pneuma, and adams guitar in the background is used in Descending. Check it

[kayvan]

Justin's bass sound is incredible

[MesterOfMuppets]

1 Invincible (Early Version)
2 (Schism Variation)
3 Invincible (Bassline)
4 Descending
Wait that was 4?

[Victu]

I’m convinced this was a leak by Adam Jones.

[KJT]

My Tool expertise leads my to believe in fact, that this is authentic. To whoever leaked it, EFF you....and thank you.

[adamperry]

Not fake!! First riff is in the new song at 6:45 (of YouTube video)

[hand_and_justin_entertainment]

The early Invincible riff had way more personality than the studio version lol

[chazmercer]

Sounds like an extension of the patient, Rosetta Stoned, and Jambi. Well up until about a minute and a half in. At about 2:50 it goes into something along the lines of the extended Pushit into. IDK if I believe this to be a leak. It sounds like someone connecting a bunch of Jones' riffs. Around 5:50 it gets into a new song I have seen live recently. Then around 9:36 it goes into another new song from the recent tours... I wouldn't call this a leak. I don't see how you are calling it a leak confirmed by Adam Jones, though...

4:15 I got lyrics for you Maynard if you are interested 'I know the pieces fit''Cause I watched them fall away Mildewed and smouldering Fundamental differing Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion Disintegrating as it goes Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then Has burned a hole between us so We cannot seem to reach an end Crippling our communication' Could get some airplay with lyrics like Maynard. What do you think.
