Tool is a contemporary metal band with a really careacteristic,heavy,dark sound.
I like to say they are the Pink Floyd of the new era, they have this unique sound and a really twisted way to develop their songs, generating a progressive ambient that like climbing in some sort of spiral reachs to the top and explodes in light!.
Their two first albums(Opiate-1992 and Undertow-1993) had a more raw sound but since Paul Dámour´s(bass) departure in 1995 and the come of Justin Chancelor the bands sound starts getting more solid from album to album starting with Aenema in 1996, album that opened more doors to popularity containing the song Aenema wich made them won a grammy that same year.
Then in 2002 and after releasing a box set of rarities and versions under the name of salival, they release their third studio album Lateralus a very polemical album , not only for its incredible cover art designed by Alex Grey wich figures a perfect vivivsection of the human body dividing each layer in each page but also for having an alternative order for the tracks known as “the holly gift” that revealed that the album was in fact a unique track ,cutted edited and finally reordered by the band. Then in 2006 and after editing a couple of lateralus related DVD´s they come out with their latest and probably most amazing work 10,000 days, a studio album with 11 tracks and with the weirdest cover I ever seen in my whole life,also designed by Alex Grey the album has this weird estroboscopic lenses to see the boocklet images in an awesome 3D perspective, tottaly worth the buy!!.
in 1999 they released their first album Sonic Brew with spitfire records wich in the begining was supposed to be another Wylde´s solo album.From then to th date the band has released nine albums in total. Stronger than death(2000), Alcohol fueled brutality(2001), 1919 Eternal(2002),The Blessed hellride(2003), Hangover music Vol VI(2004), Mafia(2005), Kings of Damnation 98-04(2005) and Shot to hell (2006). The band is Now touring arround somewhere and sharing stage with huge bands such as Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Velvet Revolver,Slipknot ,Foo Fighters and may others.
American garage rock band leaded by famous actress Juliette Lewis(Natural Born Killers)who joined H2O´s guitarrist Todd Morse , bassist Jason Womack and drummer Ed Davis.
In 2004 they released their first E.P. “like a bolt of lightning” and their first full album under the name of “You are Speaking My Language” wich included songs like You are Speaking My Language wich was their most succesfull single and Got Love to Kill wich had a more disco influenced sound.
Juliette really knows how to charm her public…
In 2006 they Releeased their 2nd album “four on The Floor” wich included Hot kiss, a really cool punk rock tune with one of the crappiest videos I ´ve ever seen in were you can see juliette walking arround in a funny way dressed like an indian mixed with one of Fame ´s Characters.
I dunno If the band is still together , but I would tottally love a new album, for those who don´t know the band I highly recomend to get their albums cause this band rocks!

I found this band Stumbling across youtube.Instantly I thought I´ll post one of their videos cause they rock!
with their heavy metal sound they shread licks that remind to metallicas old days mixed with a strange voice tone that somehow reminds me to ozzy osbourne´s(I think they used the same voice filter or something like that).anyways this is a band that must be listened to I f you like metal.
