TOOL will celebrate the the 30th anniversary of their first commercially available release “Opiate”, with a reimagined and extended version of the EP’s title track and an accompanying short film.

“Opiate²” will be available via DSPs on March 1, with the Blu-ray only visual companion available on March 18.

Visual artist Dominic Hailstone (“Alien: Covenant”, “The Eel”) worked with TOOL guitarist Adam Jones on the 10-plus minute film, which is the band’s first new video in 15 years. The film 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.

The physical release features a Blu-ray housed in a 46-page art book with behind-the-scenes and making-of photos as well as interviews and insights from special guests.

TOOL kicked off their 2022 tour in support of “Fear Inoculum” on January 10 in Eugene, Oregon.
