Aenima

Released 1996Metal
Classic

Dense, dynamic and cerebral progressive metal, swinging between rage and meditation across long, evolving tracks. Demanding and rewarding. A modern metal landmark. Released in 1996, it's a key entry in Tool's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
