Tool

A tool is "anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose." Music and art are the most profound tools humanity has for plumbing and expressing the heights and depths of the soul. True to its name, Tool plays industrial-strength, hard-core psychedelic rock and roll. Alex Grey is an artist and mystic whose images express the perception of a sacred actuality. A cover artist for many top bands, he teamed up with Tool to do the cover art for their album "Lateralus, the animation for a music video, and the stage design for their 80-city album tour. This sumptuous book illustrates that joint artistic process, with previously unpublished photographs of Grey with the band. Featuring an introduction by the artist and a foreword by Tool, Tool celebrates the fusion of two of the top talents in the worlds of art and music.
