So, lately I’ve been listening to the 90’s underground metal band, Tool. I first learned about Tool through vocalist’s, Maynard James Keenan’s side project Puscifer. A great band that reflects a similar style to Tool. Originally, I had no interest in the band. My first thought was that while the instrumentation was good, vocalist’s, Maynard’s voice was rather static in some songs. However, a friend of my showed me some awesome songs and I’ve been exploring the band’s
discography since.
I still stick to my original opinion about the band. Some songs are just too long, but they have grown on me. My favorite song so far is Eulogy. Aenima, Lateralus, Schism and Vicarious are also great songs.
Their EP Opiate will be reissued March 26 for its 21st anniversary. Unfortunately, there won’t be any bonus tracks on the reissue but there will be new artwork. Even better, guitarist, Adam Jones admitted in a Revolver Magazine interview that the band is currently writing new music. There is no inside on when the album will be released just that the writing process has been slow.
Check out "Rosetta Stoned", the weirdest and coolest song by them. The lyrics are just great, though you might have to look them up because of how quickly he talks.
