Tool
Formed around 1990 in Los Angeles, California, United States, by drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, and original bassist Paul d'Amour, Tool is a band that is most noted for combining alternative metal with a wide variety of progressive structures, irregular time signatures and lyrics that range from angry diatribes to meditations on philosophical and social matters.
Jacknife
“We don’t have any gimmicks, we just get up there and play,” says vocalist Joe Ortiz of Jacknife. Hailing from Dallas, TX, Jacknife’s sound can best be described as “Texas style brutality” and the band wastes no time showing listeners why they are the future of extreme music from the Lone Star state. Jacknife blends the best elements of the metal and hardcore genres seamlessly on their full length debut album Moment Of Reckoning, which was released September 13, 2005 on Zero-Sum Recordings.

Klogr
Band Members:
Rusty - Vox & Guitars
Nicola Briganti - Guitars
Todd Allen- Bass
Filippo De Pietri - Drums The debut album, 'Till You Decay', can be described as a meeting point for alternative rock and alternative metal, where the somber and dark sounds blend together a rush of anger and resentment while still leaving room for melody and reaction.
A journey through what the eyes can see but the mind can not filter.
A journey through what a man can feel but can not accept.
The awareness of not being truly free but subject to the "emotional rules" imposed upon us.
