‘Opiate’ is the 1992 EP by Tool, and the precursor to Tool’s first full-length album, ‘Undertow,’ a year later.

It was produced and engineered by Sylvia Massy and former Minor Threat bassist Steve Hansgen. Released in 1992, it was the result of some two years of the band playing together after their formation in 1990. Opiate preceded Tool’s first full-length release, Undertow, by a year. It is named after a quote by Karl Marx: “religion … is the opiate of the masses”.The EP was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The EP charted on several international charts when Tool released their catalog to online streaming in August 2019.

The EP features six tracks with seven songs, the seventh a hidden track entitled “The Gaping Lotus Experience.”
