Howard vary from mid-paced to fast blasting. The vocals and bass guitar were handled by Scott W. There are shouts and voices like a man choked. They aren't particularly powerful, but do their job. The vocals are mostly rattling throat with reverb, fastly shooting out lyrics. Howard, but guitar are at times happening on more than one track, especially during solos. At fastest its really a guitar tornado, slower palm-muted riffage can be totally commanding. Solos are either on melodious side (ones one can remember easily) or then they are insane like, say, Slayer's or Kreator's. The riffing can be attacking, pulverizing, epic or groovy. Catchy and chaotic, epic and pillaging, Incubus covered a lot of ground here, never failing to sound fucking cool. Sometimes, this could be pioneering, and not just copying aforementioned bands. It can be evil-sounding like Morbid Angel (when I mentioned a band, it's early versions I'm referring to) or Deicide, epic as an epic heavy metal band, crazy as Slayer or Kreator, streetwise as Overkill or Sacred Reich, punky as Sodom or even grinding like Napalm Death at its fastest parts. It doesn't sound only like US metal, but also German at times. Incubus mixed death metal and thrash metal seamlessly, of course in a song and not altering between style by each a track. Hard to say, but it certainly wasn't their music. Was it bad promoting or the lyrics that mad Incubus one of those bands that didn't catch much wind on their sails? So, just grab the album and mosh the fuck up! Which really didn't happen in 1988.
Then again, here are songs about murderers, money grabbing preacher, and metal music. Other song guide not to listen to demons and how Adam & Eve fell.
Yeah, it can be very hilarious reading those lyrics. 'Serpent Temptation' is a 37-minute long textbook against perils of evil.ĭon't be afraid Jesus Christ will be here. How about this: One of the better thrash/death metal (or death/thrash) albums from 1988 has lyrics from Christian point of view? I'm not kidding you, because Louisiana's Incubus unleashed their very much powerful debut full-length album 'Serpent Temptation' in April of that year.
