There are a billion bands similar to Isis: Pelican, The Ocean, Cult of Luna etc etc but they are more sludge based than they are alt-metal but alt-metal sucks by default so whatever
As for prog rock, King Crimson should be your start. They very much influenced your Gaynard Keenan to become such a pretentious doofus

Muse and Radiohead?

Idk, this isn't really my alley because I find Tool so hard to compare with anything else.

Yeah, I dont think I know any other band that remotely sounds similar. Except for A Perfect Circle that is.

After all, Maynard is a lyrical genius.

Muse and radiohead are just like Tool great bands, but totally not equal to each other :love:

You might want to try out Neurosis. They were a big influence for Tool.

Honestly you should explore Tool completely. That will be all you need.
