Tool have released "Opiate²," the nearly-ten-minute rework of the title track of their 1992 EP, to streaming services. Bands re-recording old songs isn't always a good thing, but this is a re-imagining that's genuinely worth hearing. It starts off as the "Opiate" you know and love, just with more modern production and a few other new twists, but then it goes way off into the psychedelic territory of their 2019 comeback album Fear Inoculum. Listen below.
Tool are also celebrating Opiate's 30th anniversary with a Blu-ray featuring a Dominic Hailstone-directed short film and accompanying 46-page art book. Pre-order that here. You can also pick up the original version of Opiate on CD or vinyl, the Fear Inoculum deluxe edition book/CD, and more Tool stuff here.
