A Perfect Circle
Conceived by Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Billy Howerdel in Los Angeles in 1999, A Perfect Circle channels art-rock ambition through a darker, more melodic lens than Keenan's primary band. Their debut 'Mer de Noms' became the highest-charting debut for a rock band at the time, followed by the politically charged 'Thirteenth Step' and 'Eat the Elephant.' The project represents Keenan's more introspective and emotionally vulnerable side, wrapped in Howerdel's lush, cinematic guitar work.
