Tool is a progressive rock/metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1990. Their debut album, Undertow, was released three years later. Although the band included many alternative heavy metal and rock elements in their first release, their sound evolved towards progressive metal in their later records. Their second and third albums were certified Platinum in many countries and are considered two of the most influential albums of all time. Tool has also won three Grammy Awards and continue to perform at major festivals around the world. During their performances they include melodic, theatrical, and ambient elements combined with a unique visual show for which they are often praised. Tool’s fourth studio album, 10,000 Days, was released in 2006 selling more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.
