Tool is a progressive rock band from Los Angeles, California. Tool is most noted for combining hard rock with progressive structures, strange time signatures and lyrics that range from anger to philosophical and social matters. They formed around 1990.
Emerging with a heavy metal sound on their first release, when the genre was dominated by thrash metal, they were later seen at the top of the alternative metal movement with the release of their second full-length studio album ?nima 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), their most recent album 10,000 Days (2006), as well as respective tours, they are generally described as a style-transgressing act and part of progressive and art rock.
Their aspirational work features exceptionally long or complex releases, controversial lyrics and cover art, and unorthodox music videos, which results in a rather ambivalent relationship between the band and today’s music industry, at times marked by censorship, and the band’s ongoing struggle for privacy.

The Gathering, often highly creative and influental band from the Netherlands, came to fame in the second half of 1990s with its unique blend of atmospheric sound, progressive elements and the compelling vocals of the passionate Anneke van Giersbergen. The band describes its style as trip rock.

7FOR4 are four very talented guys from Munich/Germany. Maybe talented is not the right term here because all four dispose of experience and know-how. Wolfgang Zenk who impresses with his virtuos guitar playing was a member of the German prog metal band SIEGES EVEN (which can also be found in the Prog Archives) as well as leader and lecturer of MGI Munchen (Munich), Germany’s best known institute for professional guitar education. Markus Grutzner played bass for several Jazz/Fusion bands and did so on several European tours of the well known Broadway musical “Hair”. Klaus Engl also is a lecturer, he works for the drum-institute “Drummer’s Focus” and played together with Markus Grutzner in a Heavy-Rock band. The keyboard player Markus Froschmeier has his roots in the classical genre and adds some of his influences to the general sound of the band.
Speaking about general sound I have to mention that it is quite difficult to find a term describing the style applicatively. Besides the fact that the music is all instrumental, you can say that it is a mixture of Prog Metal and Jazz Rock/Fusion, sounding as if LTE and the MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA get together. But nearly every song seems to have different influences so you can find tunes with a country, “gypsy music” or Brazilian samba flavour, most of it played incredibly fast.
The band released two albums so far. The first one called “Contact” was released in 2001. Their current album is called “Time” and was released in 2004. Both albums are incredible and feature the quite unique sound I described above as well as awesome cover artwork. You can’t say which of them is the better one. My suggestion is that you purchase both.
With that said I can end with mentioning that I really recommend checking out this terrific band. If you have the chance to get one of their albums, don’t wait and grape it. If you even have the chance to see them live, don’t falter, I can tell you that it’s really worth the effort, I’ve seen them and they really blew me away.
