Tool – Opiate (Reissue)

Tool's 1992 debut EP, Opiate, arrived like a fist through drywall. Six tracks of coiled, confrontational alt-metal that announced one of rock's most uncompromising voices. Maynard James Keenan's sermons on blind faith and institutional control hit harder than ever on this limited reissue LP, pressed in the US by Zoo Music.

From the lurching menace of "Sweat" to the slow-burn catharsis of the title track, Opiate remains essential listening for anyone serious about the genre. A document of a band already operating at a level most never reach.
