Tool

An American alternative rock/metal band formed in 1990 in the city of Los Angeles, California. Emerging as a group playing grunge (the genre of their first album, Undertow, can be characterized specifically as grunge), Tool later became one of the most famous progressive bands, starting with their second studio album, Ænima. Efforts to unite musical experiments, visual arts, and message-lyrics about continuous personal development, which began with the album Lateralus and became most manifest by the album 10,000 Days, eventually led the band to worldwide fame and commercial success. Tool received three "Grammy" awards, performed several world tours, and produced albums that took first places in the charts of several countries. Because of their relatively long and complex pieces, as well as their artistic component, the band is described as breaking style and as an integral part of progressive and art rock.
