Tool

By October 2015, Tool was riding high on the waves of anticipation surrounding their yet-to-be-released album, 'Fear Inoculum,' which would drop four years later in 2019. The live recording of 'Descending' at the Monster Mash festival in Tempe Beach Park is particularly notable as it gave fans a tantalizing glimpse into their evolving sound. This performance was marked by Tool's signature blend of atmospheric rock and progressive metal, showcasing their ability to weave complex arrangements with thought-provoking lyrics. It’s fascinating to note that after a long hiatus from releasing new music, the band still captivated audiences, proving their lasting influence. Tool’s fans had eagerly awaited new material, and this live rendition hinted at the explorative themes that would eventually emerge in 'Fear Inoculum.' The Halloween setting added a unique flavor to the concert, reflecting a playful yet profound side of a band known for their deep, often surreal artistry.
