Prior to his 1995 entry into Tool as the replacement for founding bassist Paul D'Amour, Justin Chancellor had performed with the British art metal group Peach. During the band’s short existence, Peach released the sole album Giving Birth to a Stone along with two EPs and one single. The 1994 European tour shared by Tool and Peach fostered a connection between the rising acts. Following Peach’s dissolution later in 1995, Chancellor initially rejected the invitation to join Tool before changing his mind and becoming a member in time to contribute to the sessions for the band’s second album, Aenima, which marked their commercial breakthrough. Vile Beat Records, an independent label, put out a reissue of Giving Birth to a Stone in 2000 that featured fresh cover art created by Tool’s guitarist Adam Jones, and Tool has occasionally included Peach material in their concert performances.
