OPPROBRIUM ( FORMALLY INCUBUS): "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. To all OPPROBRIUM fans and Metallica Fans , we OPPROBRIUM would never send a "Cease and Desist" to Metallica. We OPPROBRIUM have nothing to do with this. We love Metallica and we are fans of Metallica ourselves."

Florida based death metal veterans OPPROBRIUM (FORMALLY INCUBUS) have sent this statement on rumors stating the band sent California Bay area thrash metal legends METALLICA a cease and desist regarding the rights to the (INCUBUS) track "Hunger For Power".






The rumored cease and desist states the OPPROBRIUM ( FORMALLY INCUBUS) track "Hunger To Power" was plagiarized in the METALLICA track "Moth Into Flame", a featured song off of the bands latest release "HARDWIRED TO SELF DESTRUCT".




OPPROBRIUM has denied any involvement in the cease and desist and BRUTAL RECORDS is closed.
