Opiate is also the name of a young leftist metal band in Raleigh, NC with a teenaged cult following. They are best known for their heavy fare such as Death of a Spider. Their name precedes the release of Tool's album, if one is curious. They are played locally on Youth Voice Raleigh, a show on Shaw University's station, WSHA 88.9 FM. They have released one album, Strange Was the Dream, on New Axis Records, a tiny indie label out of Cary, NC.
