Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, members of The Opposed bring a culmination of styles from their various backgrounds into a unique and progressive, yet accessible sound that is powerful and intense.
The groundwork is laid with the thundering bass of Cj Wheeler (with influences like As I Lay Dying and Animals As Leaders), punctuated with crafty rhythms and tasteful guitar leads by Roland Price (with influences like Adam Jones and Killswitch Engage)
Atop this foundation sits drummer Jake Singleton (influenced by August Burns Red and Oh Sleeper) with intricate but tasteful flare that accentuates the groove set by the guitars. With soaring melodies and powerful lyrics, Nathan Wesley (with influences like Chris Cornell and Myles Kennedy) weaves into the mix with intensity that hooks on and never lets you go, tying their sound together into a new and cohesive style.
The Opposed consists of professional musicians dedicated to their craft, and to them, it is more than a band. It is a platform for the passion to influence and change the lives all that they encounter.
“The Opposed brings elements of Breaking Benjamin, Tool, Dream theater, and references to hardcore/metalcore together, making a fierce, melodic sound that grabs you and doesn't let go,leaving all who stand in their wake breathless and wanting more...”

“This could easily have been a track from a Thousand Foot Krutch CD. Hard rock, but very easy to listen to. Great production values. Rather than being the focus, or a distraction, the screaming is reserved and tastefully added at appropriate junctions. I was impressed!”
Azheim - AmieStreet
“Awesome Vocals over a top quality productions. The musics blends a melody of styles. There's a bit of Screamo in for background Vocals which struck me as odd, but nothing Overwhelming. Keeps things interesting. It's a solid Rock sound with a positive message”
