"Survival of the musical fittest"

...Opening band Opiate featured pulse-pounding vocals, blasting away with Pantera stylings and Limp Bizkit slamming guitars. Powerful screaming vocals, infused with anger and frustration and rage. “The fuck you waiting for? Get the fuck up to the front!” Oh, yes, charismatic stage presence as well...

...Opiate's ferocious stage presence won them the "Battle for the B-Movie" at Birdy's Jan. 25. (2005)

Opiate's heavy sound was the next feature. The band mixes a fierce Tool-influenced rhythm section with anguished vocals. It was a mix that brought a good deal of folks to The Patio this night, judging by the piercing whistles that accompanied the end of every song.

Bio

When the average, American couch-potato can manufacture their very own rock-star once a week on a reality TV series, it is refreshing - if not a bit relieving - to find a band that has the talent and dedication to manufacture themselves without the multimillion dollar hype. In fact, it was the lack of hype that allowed Opiate to shock crowds from day one. They didn’t have the pressure of fitting into any certain image. There were no expectations to live up to, and today, they still refuse to cater to the expectations of local and national stereotypes. They are molding and solidifying a craft characterized by the razor-thin edge on which they must balance, cranking out an deep, aggressive sound while maintaining raw, emotional lyrics that will move you mentally as well as in the mosh-pit.
