Tool are to release a triple-vinyl version of “Fear Inoculum,” nearly three years after the album was originally released.
The album is expected to ship on August 2, 2022 and can be pre-ordered from Tool‘s websitefor $64.98, less than half the price of the five-disc set that came out in April this year. That release was originally available as a signed, $810 (£595), edition, and was only available to fans who bought Toolarmy VIP tickets to forthcoming tour dates. A few days later, the band announced a non-signed edition retailing at $170.
“Fear Incoculum” was originally released as a CD package featuring a 4″ HD rechargeable video screen, a USB charging cable, a 2 watt speaker and a 36 page book.
The triple album package features new artwork from Adam Jones, and comes packaged in a triple gatefold sleeve. The release also includes an exclusive 12″ x 36″ double-sided poster. Full tracklist below.
Earlier this year, Tool marked the 30th anniversary of the release of their debut EP “Opiate” by releasing a reworked and extended version of its title track. Originally clocking in at 5 minutes 20 seconds, the new take on the track, titled “Opiate²” extended the party to a monstrous 9 minutes and 54 seconds.
The new version of “Opiate” was accompanied by a Blu-ray only “visual companion,” billed as the Los Angeles’ quartet’s first music video in 15 years, with a physical release housed in a 48-page art book with behind-the-scenes and making-of photos as well as interviews and insights from special guests.
