In a stunning revelation that has thrilled fans around the globe, American progressive metal band Tool has unearthed and released a long-lost album that was previously thought to be shelved forever. The surprise release, titled “The Tesseract of Time,” was announced overnight with minimal promotion, igniting a firestorm of excitement across social media platforms.
According to a statement from the band, “The Tesseract of Time” was recorded during the sessions for their critically acclaimed 2006 album 10,000 Days but was ultimately set aside due to creative differences and the band’s evolving sound direction. The tracks, which were believed to be incomplete or lost, were rediscovered in early 2025 when the band’s archival team was digitizing old tapes for preservation.
“This isn’t just a collection of demos or half-baked songs,” drummer Danny Carey said. “It’s a complete album. It’s Tool in a raw, experimental form that bridges the gap between Lateralus and 10,000 Days. We knew we had to finish what we started.”
The album features eight tracks and clocks in at just over 75 minutes. Early reactions from fans and music critics have been overwhelmingly positive, praising its hypnotic rhythms, complex time signatures, and atmospheric soundscapes. Many are calling it a spiritual successor to Lateralus, with deeper explorations of metaphysics, time, and consciousness.
Tool has released “The Tesseract of Time” exclusively on digital platforms for now, with physical editions including vinyl and deluxe packages expected in late May. The band also hinted at a limited tour later this year where they will perform tracks from the lost album live for the first time.
