Fear Inoculum, TOOL’s fifth studio album and 2019’s most anticipated release, is available now. The news arrives as the band announces a six-week North American tour, launching the trek on Oct. 13 at the Aftershock Festival.
Fear Inoculum’s release caps off over a decade of speculation and anticipation, with confirmation of the release arriving in May as the band flashed “August 30” from the stage as they performed two new songs: Descending and Invincible.
The title track arrived as details surrounding the collection surfaced, including a limited-edition CD version of Fear Inoculum. The collectible offering, which was conceived by and directed by Adam Jones, features a 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, charging cable, 2 watt speaker, a 36-page booklet and a digital download card. A vinyl release will be announced soon.
