Opprobrium

Back in mid 1982, Moyses M. Howard (drums) and Francis M. Howard (guitar, vocals) moved from their native land of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with their parents and settled down in Louisiana (New Orleans) USA, after as little as a year Moyses took interest in music and drums, which made an immediate impact on Moyses, he then encouraged his younger brother Francis to take guitar lessons, Francis was instantly interested to learn and practice more and more. For the brothers, from '84 then on, both formed numerals metal bands with friends from school and numerous musicians, playing shows, under quite a few different band names at the time. In 2000 the band changed their name to Opprobrium.
