Sci-fi buffs will be aware of the latest addition to the Alien franchise called Alien: Earth premiered this week. This series is a prequel of sorts to the 1972 classic Alien. I’ve watched the first couple of episodes, and it’s pretty good so far. What you may not know, is that Stinkfist by Tool features during the ending credits of episode 2. It’s a nice little addition, and a rarity… Read More »Tool featured on Alien: Earth

Way back in 2013 I wrote a few articles summarising my top 10 Tool tracks. A few years later, Tool eventually finished Fear Inoculum, and in the same spirit of lethargy that the band embraces, I decided six years later it was finally worth updating! I’ve had a few second thoughts on some of the original inclusions on this list, and also had the opportunity to include newer tracks. As… Read More »Top 10 Tool tracks – 2025 Edition
Birmingham’s Villa Park played host to something truly special last night – the massive “Back To The Beginning” show, billed as Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance. The event brought together an impressive roster of rock and metal legends for what felt like a historic sendoff to the Prince of Darkness. The evening was structured as a tribute to Black Sabbath‘s legacy, with most acts performing covers from the band’s catalog. Tool… Read More »Tool cover Hand of Doom at Sabbath tribute
As expected, the dates have been announced for Tool‘s Japan shows in December this year. The dates are: The release mentions that the Toolarmy pre-sale starts on the 5th of July. However, despite currently being the 5th in Japan, there are no details on this. Presumably the timing will be North American – we’ll see! Still no word on Australian or New Zealand dates. There’s no guarantees they are touring… Read More »Dates confirmed for 2025 Japan shows
Hot from Tool‘s social media team is news that they will be playing in Japan this December. No dates or anything yet, but this will come soon enough – presumably with the usual Toolarmy pre-VIP-sale shenanigans. The burning question is – will there be other dates, possibly in other Asian/Oceania countries? Typically, Tool tend to hit Japan, Australia and New Zealand at the same time, so there’s some chance we… Read More »Tool Confirms Japan 2025! Will Asia/Oceania Dates Follow?
