Tool just dropped Fear Inoculum, its first album in thirteen years, and to celebrate, the rock band announced a North American tour that will launch with its first headlining concert in Denver this fall.

Hear the new album for yourself here.

The concert will take place at the Pepsi Center on Tuesday, October 15; Killing Joke will open.

Tickets, $75 to $150 plus service charges, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, September 6, at Ticketmaster.

Tool Army members will have early access to a limited number of tickets and VIP packages starting September 4 on Tool's website.
