Tool Band Tattoos mostly have eyes in a vortex or are decorated with psychedelic colors. The meaning of the eye of the Tool Band tattoo is enlightenment.

Rock band and metal band fans go to great lengths to showcase their support and love for their favorite singing group and getting inked on the band's colors is one of the top things to do. Fans incorporate the color scheme and theme of the bands into their tattoo designs to showcase their loyalty.

Tool Band's fans are no exception as people often show their loyalty with the iconic eye embedded into a vortex in their tattoos. The fans often go the extra mile by decorating the tattoo with psychedelic colors.

The band just does not make good music but also are artistic with their creations. However, the designs and colors are not entirely aesthetic purposes as they have meaning hidden in them.

The eye on the Tool Band's tattoo ideas means enlightenment following the core value of the band. According to an archive article from the Tool Army, the band was formed based in Lachrymolgy which is a religion showing the path to a person's enlightenment. Hence, the eye is the core theme of the designs and tattoos.

Here is a picture collage showing different designs and styles of Tool Band Tattoos for getting a good idea for your next inking session.

Tool Band Memes are mostly about the band not releasing a new album. Other memes about the band are about the tickets for their tour selling out in a jiffy.

The band made a 13 years gap between their 4th and 5th studio albums, their 4th studio album titled 10,000 Days was released on May 2, 2006, and their 5th studio album Fear Inoculum was released only on August 30, 2019, hence the numerous memes for the delay.

Here are a few memes made into a collage about the band not releasing new music or album on time.

Moreover, the band is also turned into hilarious memes for their popularity and unavailability of tour tickets. The fans complain the tickets for the band's show get sold out in 5 to 10 minutes not giving them enough time to make a purchase.

While the band is performing continuously several times a year, the fans are unable to attend the shows due to the limited number of tickets and their massive fame. Here is a meme summing up the concert ticket experience of an average Tool fan.

Is The Tool A Christian Band?

No, The Tool is not a Christian band instead they fabricated a story saying they formed based on the pseudophilosophy of lachrymology.

According to Loudwire, Tool is a spiritual band but not a religious one. They started out as any other rock band but an introduction to LSD and psychedelics turned the band Spiritual, the article on Loudwire adds.

Although the band does not sing about Jesus or Savior and Lord, it does make music about finding the right path in life with meditation and, of course, psychedelics. That is one of the reasons for the band developing a cult-like following, according to Loudwire.

Moreover, the fans and followers of the band refer to listening to their songs and enjoying the music as experiencing the Tool. The band drew initial inspiration from other bands and artists like Pink Floyd and others.

The Band Tool popular songs are 1. Lateralus 2. Forty-Six & 2 3. Parabola among others. Lateralus is the title track on the eponymous album from 2001.

Here is a list of the top 10 songs from The Band Tool.

1.  Lateralus ( Lateralus, 2001)
2.  Forty-Six & 2 (Ænima, 1996)
3.  Parabola (Lateralus, 2001)
4. Pushit (Ænima, 1996)
5. Wings For Marie (10,000 Days, 2006)

8. The Pot (10,000 Days, 2006)
9. 7empest (Fear Inoculum, 2019)
10. The Grudge (Lateralus, 2001)

The band mastered and perfected the music making in their 1996 and 2001 albums Ænima and Lateralus respectively as most of their top popular and hit songs come from those two albums. However, the band's other works are also equally impressive.

No, Tool Band is not releasing a new album in 2023 as they have not hinted anything about a new album. The Tool is still touring with their 5th studio album.

One thing all the Tool fans have accepted is, the wait for the band's new album will likely be nearly a decade. However, nearly half of the decade has passed and there is no sign of the new album on the horizon.

The band has always been releasing new albums in a long-long interval. Their debut album was released on April 6, 1993, and their sophomore album followed in three years later on September 17, 1996.

Their third studio album was released five years later on May 15, 2001, see the pattern, the wait for a new album is increasing every time. Similarly, they released their fourth studio album on May 2, 2006, after another five years wait.

The Tool band then had their fans wait 13 years for their fifth studio album which was released on August 30, 2019. If they plan to release their 6th album after another 13 years, the likely year of release will be 2032, but there is good news as fans won't need to wait that long.

The drummer of the band Danny Carey said, the band plans to tour on their 5th album Fear Inoculum for three or four years, and once they are done touring, putting together a new album will probably take two to three years, hinting the new album might arrive around 2026 or 2027, according to ElectricJam.

However, the band has not confirmed anything regarding the release date of their new album, in fact, it is unsure if they will release a new album at all.
