Emerging with a heavy metal sound on Undertow (1993), they became leaders in the alternative metal movement with Ænima (1996). Their work combines musical experimentation, visual art, and themes of personal evolution, earning critical acclaim and global success with Lateralus (2001), 10,000 Days (2006), and Fear Inoculum (2019). Prior to 2019, the band had sold over 13 million albums in the U.S. alone.
