Tool is an alternative metal band, formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California. The band places big emphasis on artwork and visuals along with complex song structures (most notably "Lateralus".) This brought Tool recognition in the progressive/art-rock genre.
Nine Inch Nails have played festivals with Tool, such as Pukkelpop and the Independent Days Festival. Trent Reznor, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser also collaborated with singer Maynard James Keenan on the Tapeworm project.
