Our Take

Ah, Tool. The enigmatic, prog-metal masters that have captivated audiences for decades. Their latest reissue of their debut EP "Opiate" brings a nostalgic yet revitalised take on their earlier work.

From the moment the title track kicks in with its thunderous drums and spiralling riffs, you're immediately reminded of why Tool are considered legends in the metal genre. Maynard James Keenan's haunting vocals pierce through the cacophony of sound, drawing you in with their raw emotion.

The standout track, "Sweat", is a relentless assault on the senses, with its searing guitars and primal screams. It's a sonic rollercoaster that leaves you feeling exhilarated and slightly dazed by the end.

But it's not all heavy guitars and intense vocals. The EP also showcases Tool's experimental side, with tracks like "Hush" incorporating psychedelic elements and eerie atmospherics that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Overall, "Opiate" is a must-listen for any Tool fan. It's a powerful reminder of the band's early roots and a testament to their enduring talent. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let Tool take you on a journey through their mesmerising musical universe.
