Hailing from Nashville, TN, The Opposed is the culmination of years of work trying to put together a great band. Brian Volckmann (Guitar) had been playing for 5 years in an acoustic duo called Slow to Speak. After moving to Nashville, Slow to Speak hooked up with Edwin Rivera (drums.) They Played one show with a full band, and then decided that they were in need of something more. Edwin and Brian hooked up with CJ (bass), who converted from guitar to play bass and they started practicing and honing their sound. It was then that the band decided to become The Opposed. After a classified post brought Joey (guitar) to the mix in June of 2007, the band began looking for a new lead singer. Joey's roomate Matt Singleton turned out to be a perfect fit and sang lead for the first time November 3rd.

The Opposed brings elements from Breaking Benjamin, Tool, Dreamtheater, and references to hardcore/metalcore together, making a fierce, melodic sound that grabs you and doesn't let go. The culmination of years of learning their craft, the five men in The Opposed are true professional musicians, working hard and continuing to be passionate about something they feel called to do, rock faces off with blistering riffs, soaring choruses, and massive breakdowns, leaving all who stand in their wake breathless and panting for more.
