Utah rock band Spirit Machines makes a viral splash with a Tool/Led Zeppelin mash-up

Meet Spirit Machines, a Salt Lake City rock band that might be classified as “melodic metal” — which, I think, covers any band with shredding guitars and a female singer.

The band released its first album, “Feel Again,” in April. But what really got attention was when they posted a video of their cover of Tool’s hit “Sober,” mashed up with Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir.” It got a fair number of hits, but really took off when Tool itself gave an endorsement by linking to it on the megaband’s Instagram feed.
