Maynard James Keenan can do whatever the hell he wants. At 53 years-old he’s done more than most will ever do, signing in not one, but three successful bands (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer.) Yes, he bought a winery. Yes, he named it after a pubic wig (Merkin Winery.)
He can also wait 14 years with A Perfect Circle before releasing a new album. “In light of this current difficult and polarized social, spiritual and political climate, we artist types need to open our big mouths and share the light a little louder,” he said about the new album which should be released sometime next year on BMG.
The band is teasing the album with an early release of the track “The Doomed.”
