Tool - Opiate (Vinyl EP)

Originally released in 1992, Opiate is Tool’s debut EP and the raw foundation of the band’s uncompromising sound. Aggressive, confrontational and steeped in anti-authoritarian themes, the record captures Tool in their earliest form—stripped back, visceral and unfiltered.

Tracks such as “Opiate”, “Sweat”, “Hush” and “Cold and Ugly” showcase the band’s early blend of heavy riffs, unconventional time signatures and Maynard James Keenan’s intense, provocative vocal delivery. While rougher than their later releases, Opiate remains an essential document of Tool’s evolution and a cult favourite among fans.

Pressed on vinyl, this EP comes brand new and sealed, offering a powerful analogue presentation that suits the release’s raw production and dynamic swings. A must-have for Tool collectors and anyone exploring the origins of one of alternative metal’s most influential bands.
