Tool are a progressive metal band renowned for blending dark, complex rhythms with philosophical and psychological themes. Formed in 1990, their sound fuses heavy riffs, odd time signatures, and haunting visuals to create immersive, often transcendent experiences. Frontman Maynard James Keenan’s enigmatic presence and lyrical depth elevate the band’s esoteric edge. Their 1996 seminal album, Ænima, marked a shift toward more ambitious compositions, with tracks like “Stinkfist” and “Forty Six & 2” exploring Jungian shadow theory and societal disillusionment. Produced by David Bottrill, Ænima was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, cementing Tool’s place as pioneers of cerebral, avant-garde metal. We celebrate both the band and this groundbreaking records 30th anniversary.
