Lateralus, an album from the band TOOL re–imagines the iconic visual identity of the progressive metal band TOOL through the lens of brutalist design.

Utilizing stark typography, geometric abstraction, and raw, unrefined textures, each piece channels the weight and depth of TOOL’s music while embracing the brutalist principles With heavy letter–forms echoing the bands lyrical themes of introspection and transcendence and high-contrast, industrial textures reminiscent of concrete, This design is meant to evoke a feeling of grit and stress.

Lateralus strives to create a fresh yet familiar visual language.
