8

Description

Incubus is an American rock band from Calabasas, California. Formed in 1991 by singer Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer José Pasillas, then students at Calabasas High School, the group later expanded with the arrival of bassist Alex "Dirk Lance" Katunich and Gavin "DJ Lyfe" Koppel. Both were subsequently replaced: Ben Kenney took over bass and DJ Kilmore joined the band as a DJ. In 2024, Nicole Row replaced Kenney on bass. Incubus's sound is described as a blend of rap metal, funk, jazz, and post-grunge, often incorporating elements of hip-hop. This eclectic style helped make them one of the most popular alternative metal bands of the early 2000s. The band achieved significant commercial success, with numerous multi-platinum albums and several hit singles. In 2017, they released their eighth studio album, 8, with Skrillex contributing to production and mixing. The album debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200, while its first single, "Nimble Bastard," reached number 4 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart. The Incubus 8 edition includes a booklet with song lyrics.
