Hello everyone,
Interesting thread as I never listened to Tool. But I can say there were a couple of groups that seems to work with the "Awakening" process for me.
1. Nine Inch Nails
2. Rage Against The Machine.
If you listen to the last few LPs of NIN, Trent Reznor seems to drop a lot of obvious hints to his awakening. For instance his album "Year Zero" and another Recent one "The Slip" aka for his current tour called
"Lights In The Sky".
I really don't know if music can do this, but it helps to know that others are feeling the same thing going on, as if you're being pulled or called upon.
