The anniversary edition is limited to 5,000
copies and features art direction by Adam Jones, illustrations by legendary
artist Adi Granov and design packaging by Mackie Osborne, who has collaborated
with TOOL on many albums including 10,000 Days, Lateralus and
Salival as well as posters and merchandise.
The 5,000 copies are broken down as 5 x 1,000
runs with each set featuring a variation of the exterior graphics and included
bonus items such as a new stereoscopic image for fans to use with their glasses
from the 10,000 Days packaging. Five lucky fans will receive a
certificate dubbed the "Seal of Xatanitos," which the band has inserted randomly
amidst the 5,000 copies of the collectible reissue. The prize will only be
disclosed to each of the five winners.
The packages are only available via TOOL's website. A limit of three packages from each of the
5 x 1,000 versions is in place.
Jones recently spoke with Revolver and Spin regarding the the impetus for the Opiate reissue as well as the history
of the EP. An upcoming Guitar World feature will showcase the sketches and
process involved in creating the collectible set.
