Tool

about

Tool is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1990. The group consists of vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones, drummer Danny Carey, and bassist Justin Chancellor, who replaced founding member Paul D'Amour in 1995. Tool has received multiple Grammy Awards, undertaken international tours, and achieved commercial success with several chart-topping releases. The band has released five studio albums, one EP, and one box set. Tool first gained attention with a heavy metal-influenced sound on their debut full-length album "Undertow" in 1993, following the earlier EP "Opiate" in 1992. They became associated with the alternative metal movement with their second album "Ænima", released in 1996. Their later work, including "Lateralus" in 2001 and "10,000 Days" in 2006, incorporated elements of musical experimentation, visual art, and thematic exploration of personal development, contributing to both critical and commercial success. Their fifth studio album, "Fear Inoculum", was released on 30 August 2019 and received widespread critical acclaim. Prior to its release, the band had sold more than 13 million albums in the United States. Tool has been described as a style-transcending act, drawing from progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The band has maintained a complex relationship with the music industry, including disputes over censorship and a preference for privacy. The members of Tool relocated to Los Angeles during the late 1980s. Maynard Ja
