Incubus | Opprobrium

Serpent Temptation (first version), 1988 Serpent Temptation (second version), 1996 Beyond The Unknown, 1990 Discerning Forces, 2000 Mandatory Evac, 2008 Ripping 80s killer thrash and death!!! Cultosaurus fierce & very very fast metal for every family member addicted to the mighty early output of Sepultura | Sodom | A.R.G. | Sadus | Wehrmacht | Morbid Angel | Dark Angel, yes, all this and more, greatness included. The first two albums are simply awesome, as in shock and awe. Story of Serpent Temptation: both version feature the same basic tracks, the second version has rerecorded vocals, new lyrics and different song titles, and some new guitar tracks, and better artwork. Both are amazing, the first being more Kreator | Wehrmacht oriented in the vocal department, while the second version sounds more like Sepultura | Morbid Angel. I never found out which one I liked the most, both rip your flesh from your bones and eat it. Then they came back 10 years later under the Opprobrium moniker with Discerning Forces which is another killer album in the brutal thrash style of Chaosfear | Claustrofobia. Unfortunately Mandatory Evac is not that great - could have been but the flat production alters the soundgasm (STOP CRANKING THE ULTRA MAXIMIZER!!! Who fucking cares how loud it is...).
