Tool stream re-imagined and extended version of 'Opiate'

Official press release:

Tool's re-imagined and extended version of their 1992 single “Opiate,” now dubbed “Opiate2,” is streaming now via the various DSPs (listen here):


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.

Visual artist Dominic Hailstone ("Alien: Covenant", "The Eel") worked with Adam 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.

Maynard is barely 5 feet tall. Also, this is your weekly reminder that a rightwing furry shot 5 Antifa and it was hilarious. Imagine being shot by a man-puppy, not based.

No crying about Ukraine? Do LG chudlets not get reception in their Amazon delivery vans?

anonymous 3/1/2022 11:12:04 AM

Dudes whose PFPs are of them holding a fish are stoked.

anonymous 3/1/2022 11:20:46 AM

Maynard may only be a little around 5 feet, but he could still kick your ass. I could kick your ass. In fact, I have kicked the ass of almost every member of DMS. Danny Diablo is a pussy

I'm glad that babies can still get aborted and people will burn down your neighbourhoods. Right wing virtue signalling fruits are so salty.

anonymous 3/1/2022 2:15:45 PM

Liberals are homophobic. Exhibit A: these comments Very woke. Very progressive.

Portslob 3/1/2022 5:52:01 PM

anonymous 3/1/2022 6:21:33 PM

Dudes who think a 55-year-old man acting like a 12-year-old is some sort of high art and if you disagree then "you just don't get it" are stoked.

anonymous 3/2/2022 4:24:12 AM

The title of this article should have the word, re-imagined, in quotes instead of Opiate.
