Los Angeles-based act Tool have released a re-imagined and extended version of their 1992 single “Opiate,” being called “Opiate2” — check out the tune below.
Here’s more info from today’s track reveal, “Accompanying the single is a Blu-ray only visual companion, the band’s first music video in 15 years, arriving March 18 (pre-orders are available now). Housed in a 46-page art book with behind-the-scenes and making-of photos, the Blu-ray release also includes interviews and insights from special guests.”
They add, “Visual artist Dominic Hailstone (“Alien: Covenant”, “The Eel”) worked with Jones on the 10-plus minute film. The clip continues TOOL’s knack for merging the aural and visual worlds, creating an all-encompassing experience for the listener that has been a hallmark of the outfit since their inception. Hailstone and Jones also collaborated on the filmed pieces featured on the current Fear Inoculum tour.”
Tool also recently announced the Ultra Deluxe Vinyl release of their latest album ‘Fear Inoculum,’ which is due to arrive April 8th. Here’s more info from a presser, “The collection features 5 x 180g vinyl discs emblazoned with a unique etching on the album’s B-side, and accompanied by an elaborate pictorial booklet including never-before-seen artwork. The limited-edition collection, which also features a new cover, is housed in a hard shell box.” Get your pre-orders in here.
