Industrial Metal & Post-Hardcore band from Phoenix, Arizona, active from 1999-2009. Opiate for the Masses was founded in 1999 by singer Ron Underwood, drummer Elias Mallin, guitarist/keyboardist Jim Kaufman, and guitarist Dustin Lyon. The group's name is an alteration of Karl Marx's famous aphorism, "Religion is the opium of the people".

By this time the group had added Seven Antonopoulos on drums and Anna Kjellberg on bass. In 2008, the group signed with Century Media label and released the album "Manifesto". In 2009, the group disbanded. In 2010, original band members played a reunion show to a sold out crowd in Tempe, Arizona.
