Beat me to it. OP this is the band for you. Based on your music tastes I’ll suggest their album Omnium Gatherum. Don’t be daunted by their first track (an 18 min rock epic)

Porcupine Tree. I think you'll love them being into Tool. Their older stuff is quite Floydish but they start bringing in metal elements around Lightbulb Sun and they get into Tool territory. Give In Absentia a listen.

The Ocean is a bit more aggressive. They have screaming, but they remind me of tool, especially the track Jurassic | Cretacious. I’d recommend checking out Phanerozoic II or Pelagial.

3 of my favorites too. You might try 'Elephant Tree' and 'Mars Red Sky'. But really those 3 bands have no contemporaries I've found that aren't poorer imitations. For that you could look at 'Rishloo' and 'Soen' who are both Tool soundalikes.

Nobody can replace Zack de la Rocha, so you could check out his early stuff with 'Inside Out' and the 'one day as a lion' EP. Also give 'Rollins Band' a try, starting with Low Self Opinion.

Assuming you like the early Beastie Boys stuff, rather than the Intergalactic era, than maybe 'Eric B & Rakim', 'Jungle Brothers', 'Wiseguys' & 'Funky 4 +1'

Tool you say? Check out Karnivool, Rishloo, Fair to Midland, Leprous, Haken, VOLA, and Caligula's Horse

Too many people hear Tool and think it's great but never dive any deeper into modern prog. There's a whole genre of that stuff!

Edit: also Porcupine Tree and The Ocean, like others said. If you like heavier stuff, then check out Gojira, Slice The Cake, Rivers of Nihil, The Contortionist, and Meshuggah

Cibo Matto.
Female hip-hop duo from New York, and one of the Beastie Boys, I think Mike D, helped get their first album made. He also did a remix of one of their songs.
I really love their debut album "Viva! La Woman".

Foxy Shazam

Rock band, somewhat Queen-like. They have changed a lot from the early days, to the middle days, to now.

Early days were (I'm not good with various genre names, so take these loosely) screamo, middle days were the Queen-like rock, and afterwards they went Gonzo.

Larger than life live shows, if you happen to attend one.

For me, the sweet spot is the Self-Titled album and it's follow-up, The Church of Rock & Roll. That would be albums 3 and 4, if you include their self released first album The Flamingo Trigger.

Anyway, basically no one ever reports back to me whether or not they've actually listened to the band after I suggest them, but they are awesome and deserve to be heard.

Check out Algiers. Kind of a dark, electronic-infused take on the post-punk genre, a singer with a great kind of gritty old-R&B voice. They just put out a new record this week and Zach from RATM guests on a song, so there's the connection to something you're into already.

Since you like Tool, I assume you're already a fan of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer?
