Opprobrium

Opprobrium is a death/thrash metal band from Metairie, Louisiana, originally formed in the mid-1980s under the name Incubus by brothers Francis and Moyses Howard. Known for blending ferocious thrash elements with early death metal intensity, they released their debut Serpent Temptation in 1988, which quickly garnered underground acclaim. After a few more releases, the band changed its name to Opprobrium in the late '90s to avoid confusion with other bands using the Incubus moniker.

Despite long gaps between albums, Opprobrium has maintained a strong cult following, especially among fans of old-school American death metal. Their 2019 release, The Fallen Entities, showed that their aggressive and raw energy remains intact, featuring tight riffing, powerful drumming, and biting vocals. Throughout their career, they’ve maintained a no-frills, honest approach to metal, staying true to their roots while leaving a lasting mark on the extreme metal scene.
