Tool formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California. Emerging with a "slam and bang" heavy metal sound on their first release during a time when heavy metal was dominated by thrash metal, Tool were later seen at the top of the alternative metal movement, when they released their second full length studio album Ænima in 1996. After an ongoing evolution of their sound and continuous efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution on Lateralus (2001) and with the release of 10,000 Days in 2006.

This last full-length studio album reached #1 on the Billboard album chart with over 560,000 copies sold. In addition, the album debuted at #1 in Norway, Holland, Austria, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

Tool has literally revived progressive rock by creating their own musical and artistic style that transcends genres. There are rumours of a new Tool album on the horizon.
