Heavy Music Dying According to Tool

07/20/07
. (Gigwise) Enigmatic Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan has labelled heavy rock music as "sinking" and "dying."

Keenan was speaking about his new side project 'Pusicfer' when he made the damning comments about the genre.

He said that Puscifer is: "my attempt to make music to inspire people. Heavy rock is sinking, the industry is dying. This is definitely not thinking man's music."

Unlike his previous offshoot, A Perfect Circle, Keenan maintains that Puscifer is more of a collaboration than a real band. The collective features the likes of Primus drummer Tim Alexander, with Lisa Germano and actress Milla Jovovich on vocal dutire. - more on this story
