Maynard James Keenan’s TOOL may have been in a deep slumber for now about an entire decade, but fret not. His other project, A PERFECT CIRCLE have released the new song, “The Doomed”. The track is the first music to be heard from the multi-platinum outfit’s highly anticipated 2018 full-length.

“Fourteen years have passed since we released eMOTIVe,” said Maynard James Keenan. “A new release is long overdue. 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.”

“Years of life experience has brought our music to this moment,” added Billy Howerdel. “We know where we came from. Deeply connected to the path we’re on.”

Arizona’s psychedelic desert doom troupe SPIRIT ADRIFT – featuring members of GATECREEPER, GOYA, and others – offers a crushing new sample of the band’s impending second LP, ‘Curse Of Conception‘, which is nearing October release through 20 Buck Spin

Decibel Magazine has premiered the mind-altering metal thunder of new single, “Starless Age (Enshrined),” alongside an interview with SPIRIT ADRIFT, noting, “you’ll be treated to the breakthrough doom metal album of 2017.
