Schism is a song by American progressive metal band Tool, released on their 2001 album Lateralus and known for its complex time signatures and shifting guitar patterns. The opening strings became one of the track's most recognisable moments, often shared on their own by fans who wanted a short, instantly identifiable Tool clip. On soundboards and as a ringtone, the six-second start works without vocals or context, which helped it circulate beyond the full song. It remains popular because it captures Tool's technical, brooding style in a single brief passage.

The opening guitar riff from Tool's Schism, a short progressive rock intro clip. Fans use it as a ringtone, meme intro, or dramatic opener for edits and videos.
The clip opens with the first few picked guitar strings from Tool's Schism, clean and tense before the rhythm settles in. The notes feel sparse, slightly off-kilter and hypnotic, carrying that signature progressive metal mood without any vocals or drums yet. It sounds like the start of something big, building anticipation in just a few seconds. Played on its own it instantly signals Tool to fans, while newcomers feel the dark, focused energy that made the song stand out. It works as a short mood-setter rather than a full musical passage.
