Their sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at No. 1 in 2006 and was followed by Incubus' first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies in June 2009 and the band's 2011 album, If Not Now, When?. After their first two albums, Fungus Amongus (1995) and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997), the band earned mainstream recognition with the release of their 1999 album Make Yourself which spawned several hits, including the band's highest charting song "Drive." Success continued with the albums Morning View (2001) and A Crow Left of the Murder. (2004). Incubus has attained commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles. The group made a notable shift in sound beginning with 1999's "Make Yourself", which cast them into mainstream spotlight. The group's early style was a rather funky brand of alternative metal. This is a very sad day for our band.Incubus are an alternative rock band that formed in 1991 in Calabasas, California. “Thanks to all OPPROBRIUM and METALLICA fans, and please keep in mind that this individual is doing this on his own and we ( OPPROBRIUM) have NOTHING to do with this. “We OPPROBRIUM are on the side of METALLICA and not on the side of this individual that is spreading this lie. “ OPPROBRIUM does not support this individual nor are we responsible for the actions taken by this individual. “We OPPROBRIUM love METALLICA and would never do such a thing to METALLICA. We OPPROBRIUM are surprised concerning this, and are very sad. “This individual is spreading lies behind our backs. We OPPROBRIUM hold all the rights to all our songs. “This individual is claiming that he holds the rights to one of our song ‘Hunger For Power’, and it’s not true. We love METALLICA and are fans of METALLICA and would never do such a thing against METALLICA. “We do not know the reason why this news is spreading. We love METALLICA and we are fans of METALLICA ourselves.
We OPPROBRIUM have nothing to do with this. “To all OPPROBRIUM fans and METALLICA fans, we OPPROBRIUM would never send a ‘cease-and-desist’ to METALLICA. “It’s been circulating that supposedly an individual is claiming that METALLICA copied one of our songs called ‘Hunger For Power’ and that this individual supposedly sent a cease-and-desist to METALLICA. On Friday (April 7), the members of OPPROBRIUM released the following statement regarding the supposed cease-and-desist letter:
In the fake cease-and-desist letter, the person claiming to be Michael Howard accused METALLICA of lifting riffs from the INCUBUS track “Hunger For Power”, from the death metal band’s 1988 album “Serpent Temptation”, for inclusion in the song “Moth Into Flame” from METALLICA‘s “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” disc. Other news sites, however, did pick up the story and it quickly spread across the Internet, eventually catching the attention of the members of INCUBUS, who changed their name to OPPROBRIUM in 2000. ’80s death metal band INCUBUS (not to be confused with popular California rock band of the same name) has denied sending a cease-and-desist letter to METALLICA‘s legal team alleging that the heavy metal giants copied riffs from INCUBUS‘s songs.īLABBERMOUTH.NET was one of the media outlets which were sent a copy of the supposed cease-and-desist letter earlier this week (after receiving e-mail notification of the letter’s existence on March 24) from someone claiming to be Brutal Records‘ Michael Howard, but chose not to publish the poorly worded document (see below) on the account that it appeared to be fake.
