A short introduction of this band seems to me only appropriate as Opprobrium is not really new to the metal scene. The history of this band goes back to the early eighties when the brothers Moyses and Francis Howard got involved in the metal underground. Their band Incubus eventually brought out two CD releases in 1988 and 1990. Ten years later the brothers are back as Opprobrium (as there's another band claiming the name Incubus). Musically they dish up brutal death metal full of changes in speed and riffing. There's a lot of energy to be felt in those songs. The first track Digitrap sounds almost like Slayer doing death metal. The vocals can be described as screaming growls. Result is a fierce metal album. Listening to Awakening To The Filth I cannot help but being impressed by the playing skills of the brothers. Here you can hear super tight playing while they labor on riff after riff as if it's a routine job.
