This music is free. I am not trying to sell you anything.

Hi everyone, I've been working on some Tool-inspired music for the past 5 and 1/2 years, and I'm finally ready to share it. I have nobody to share it with really, as almost none of my friends like rock / metal, so I figured I'd post it here for your enjoyment.

My band is called Eons Past and the album is Vanishing Point. It is a concept album venting my anger and sorrow over the loss of my relationship with my best friend, an Iraq War veteran with severe PTSD, to the worst addiction I've ever seen. The album tells a story of two friends experimenting with psychedelics together as teenagers, but one of them goes way too far and loses himself in a dark world.

The album is an attempt to sound like the late-90s / early 2000s prog-alt rock of yore, and is designed for night-time listening / headphone listening for those who enjoy a dark and contemplative music experience. It is heavily inspired by Lateralus, Mer de Noms, Koi no Yokan, and Make Yourself. The album was made with an Epiphone Les Paul, a $100 amp, a $100 microphone, a $200 bass guitar, and some really excellent drumwork by Justin Coolahan, a popular drummer here on /r/toolband. There were guest drummers as well since Justin couldn't finish the project.

Here is my attempt at answering the question, "What if Billy Howerdel of APC wrote a Tool song?
