Okay, Tool fans. The time has officially come to begin getting excited for the band’s return to music.

Speaking with Loudwire in a new interview, Tool drummer Danny Carey has offered an in depth update on the progress of the band’s new album. Speaking on recording, Carey claims “It’s still the three of us right now and four of us it will be soon, you know, just working on all our parts and working on our compositions together. Stylistically, we’re trying to push things in different ways, but it always comes out sounding like Tool no matter what we’re trying to do. We’re working everyday on it and it’s going really well, so I’m hoping we’ll get into the studio by the end of the year.”

If the interviewer were to stop here fans may have rioted. Luckily, he continues on, asking if fans can expect the album to be released before the end of 2013. Carey responds “I doubt it. Right now, since we haven’t started tracking stuff at this point, it’ll be hard. We could have the record finished by the end of the year — that’s a possibility, but the logistics of getting it manufactured and getting the record company in line and all this stuff, I doubt we’ll be able to get it out before Christmas. We’ll see how it goes. Most likely, it’ll be early 2014.”

There you have it, folks. 2014 will be the year of Tool. Get ready.
