Apart from the numerous technical passages throughout the album, the solos also add a distinct and chaotic feel to the music, now done with much more sophistication than on the previous album. In terms of songwriting, this is the best the band had put fourth so far, with numerous time signature changes, giving the album and almost progressive nature, but it's still also very brutal and straight forward in some section's recalling the Sadus debut as it's best. And the guitar sound (and guitar tone in particular,) has greatly improved. The drums are easily audible with their crisp clear sound. Morrisound really did a great job on this one. No longer does the material have a "garage demo" sound quality like on Serpent Temptation. To say that some improvement had occurred would be a huge understatement, as every aspect from production values, so song arrangement, and musicianship had improved tenfold. Whether this was for better or for worse, the result was a truly awesome achievement for both the band, and death metal album known as beyond the unknown. Howard an opportunity to lead the band in a much more complex direction. In my opinion, it was the departure of the original vocalist, Scott Latour, which gave Francis M. Something happed to the band between 19 that would forever change the band. After releasing their fine debut, which could be the most extreme in the genre, Incubus went through a major stylistic change in terms of direction. It is a shame they hardly get any credit for their contributions. Now known as Opprobrium, Incubus, hailing from Rio de Janeiro Brazil, were true innovators in the early death metal scene on the late 80s/early 90s. One of the best albums of the early 90's I highly recommend this to anyone who likes early death metal. Review Summary: By far the most accomplished of Incubus's (opprobrium) works, it perfectly combines brutality with mature songwriting and a professional production.
