Tool bassist Justin Chancellor and drummer Danny Carey are pondering a follow-up to the band’s 2019 album “Fear Inoculum.”

Addressing the fact that “Fear Inoculum” marked the band’s first full-length effort in 13 years, Justin said: “It’ll be different this time. Everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s expectations are different. Time is precious now, so you try and look for ways to be more efficient with the process. We’ve had a lot of discussion about that and how we can bring a new record to fruition in a slightly different way.”

As for the possible musical direction for the band’s next LP, Carey said: “Who knows? It could flip-flop and we could just go back to doing an ‘Undertow’ [type] record” of shorter songs. That’s kind of appealing to me. I always like change, whatever direction it goes.”

What kind of new album would you like to hear from Tool?
