Our Take

In the damp, murky depths of death metal, there lies a serpent coiled, waiting to strike. OPPROBRIUM's "Serpent Temptation - The Alternate Version 1996" slithers onto the scene with all the venomous bite of a metallic python. This reimagining of the classic album offers a fresh take on the band's signature sound, injecting new life into familiar tracks and showcasing a raw, untamed energy that is sure to leave listeners in awe.

From the moment the guttural growls and lightning-fast riffs of "Darkness" kick in, it's clear that this is no ordinary reissue. The band's ferocious instrumentation is matched only by their sheer intensity, with each track delivering a sonic assault that is as brutal as it is exhilarating. Standout moments include the relentless onslaught of "Incubus" and the blistering fury of "Slaughtered."

But it's not just the music that sets this album apart – the production is top-notch, capturing every thunderous drum beat and razor-sharp guitar riff with crystal clarity. The result is a sonic experience that is as punishing as it is immersive, drawing the listener in and refusing to let go.

In a genre often plagued by copycats and imitators, OPPROBRIUM proves that they are the real deal with "Serpent Temptation - The Alternate Version 1996". This album is a masterclass in death metal excellence, a venomous serpent that strikes with deadly precision. Approach with caution – you may just find yourself ensnared in its hypnotic grip.

About the artist

Opprobrium

Ah, Opprobrium, the enigmatic metal duo hailing from the sweltering depths of New Orleans. Formed in the late '80s under the moniker Incubus, these brothers have been churning out some of the darkest, heaviest music the scene has ever seen. With their roots firmly planted in thrash and death metal, Opprobrium have carved out a unique niche for themselves with their uncompromising blend of ferocious riffs, relentless rhythms, and guttural vocals that could scare even the most hardened metalhead. Their latest release, "The Fallen Entities," sees them at the top of their game, delivering a sonic assault that is as brutal as it is hypnotic. From the blistering opener "Dark Days, Dark Times" to the epic closer "Innocturne" , Opprobrium showcase their mastery of their craft, seamlessly blending melodic hooks with bone-crushing heaviness. But don't let their fierce exterior fool you - offstage, these brothers are a pair of lovable goofballs, known for their wicked sense of humour and penchant for pulling pranks on unsuspecting tourmates. Whether they're trolling each other on social media or posting hilarious behind-the-scenes videos, Opprobrium's antics are just as entertaining as their music. So, if you're looking for a band that will make your ears bleed and your sides split, look no further than Opprobrium. With their killer tunes and killer jokes, these guys are the real deal. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and prepare to have your mind melted by the unstoppable force that is Opprobrium.
