The album arrives following years of anticipation and speculation, which reached a fever pitch as the outfit helmed by Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel launched their Fall 2017 tour with the release of The Doomed. The band then ushered in the new year with the debut of the contemplative song, Disillusioned.

Although Im extremely excited to finally be completing this album after a 14-year hiatus, explains Keenan. Im actually more excited that its intentional release date is serving a greater purpose. The 20th of April is Carina Rounds birthday. She is a dear friend who is extremely difficult to shop for. Pressure off. Of course, I must also note that the potheads are gonna be thrilled that this album comes out on 4-20. May it serve as a glorious soundtrack to accompany all of the giggling and vexing sounds of nibbling and snacking. Fingers crossed, Cheech & Chong will be proud.

Demos are these precious ideas that you love in their initial state, adds Howerdel. Then you collaborate, invite other ideas, and watch them progress. Thats the dynamics and growth of a great record. I feel weve made a great record.

Eat The Elephant, which was co-produced by Dave Sardy (Autolux, Slayer), is being released in multiple formats including digital, CD, and double gatefold 180 gram vinyl.

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release, the fourth studio album by rock band A Perfect Circle. This is the band’s first album release in fourteen years, after 2004’s Emotive. A Perfect Circle formed in 1999 when Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, burned out by the band’s legal issues in the late 1990s, offered to sing on material that then-guitar tech Billy Howerdel had been writing for his own musical endeavors. The two, with a rotating door of other musicians, recorded and released two platinum selling albums in the US; Mer de Noms in 2000 and Thirteenth Step in 2003, before the two started thinking about taking a hiatus.
