Two years after putting a Parisian Accor Arena on his knees, Tool and her protean metal came to recall what dangerous repeat offenders they were.
It is of public notoriety: it is not a question of being in a hurry so that the Californians of Tool Make their inspiration in studio, the latest album, Fear inoculum (2019), having been gave birth to thirteen years after his predecessor, 10,000 days. Fortunately for those who do not hide a form of veneration towards it, the quartet has decided to be more generous in the frequency of its visits in France (three times in five years). As always, and to better encourage mobile phones to be left to the bottom of the pockets to the recall, it is a trip that is offered to us from the start by Maynard Keenan, the voice of a group whose musical cohesion, behind the power of sound, never ceases to bluff.
This one will be total, bewitching, sometimes trying, between battery roller compressor when it is not supplemented by vintage sequencers and synthesizers, martial bass and sharp guitar, while, on his platform, Keenan turns like a lion in cage, ready to jump on his prey so as not to let go. In this maze of video animations combining psychedelic swallowing, lava flows, funds, extraterrestrial silhouettes (at least the representation that we want to make it) Mortuary masks, skulls and crushed bodies, the victim – sorry, the spectator – has no choice but to be consenting. And to ask for more.
