Tool place hidden certificates in Opiate packages. Limited edition packages available March 26th.
Five lucky fans will get something extra in their copy of Tool’s forthcoming commemorative edition of the Opiate EP (available Mar. 26 via Toolband.com).
Dubbed the Seal of Xatanitos, the five certificates will be placed randomly amidst the 5,000 copies of the collectible reissue. The prize will only be disclosed to each of the five winners.
In a new interview posted today, Adam Jones speaks with Spin (http://www.spin.com/articles/tool-opiate-reissue-limited-edition-adam-jones) about both the impetus for the Opiate limited edition reissue as well as the history of the EP. Jones also recently discussed the release with Revolver Magazine (http://www.revolvermag.com/news/interview-tool-guitarist-and-visual-guru-adam-jones-on-the-making-and-reissue-of-opiate.html).
The 21st anniversary edition is limited to 5,000 copies and features art direction by 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 will be broken down into five variations (each 1,000 pieces) with each set featuring a slight alteration of the exterior graphics and bonus items which include a new stereoscopic image for fans to use with their glasses from the 10,000 Days packaging.
The packages will only be available via Tool’s website (www.toolband.com) on March 26th with the band setting aside a small number of packages (200 of each variation) for Toolarmy members. Toolarmy members will be able to purchase them on March 22nd via at Toolarmy.com.
