S.C.I.E.N.C.E. , Incubus’s second studio album, was released on September 9, 1997. After their album release, they started opening for bands such as Korn and 311 . This album marked a stylistic departure from the band’s early material, featuring heavy guitar riffs, slap bass and turntables to create their most nu metal album. In February 1998, Incubus dismissed Koppel (DJ Lyfe). The group’s attorney recommended Chris Kilmore (DJ Kilmore) to fill the position after seeing Chris on the Sunset Strip performing with Beats and Blunts. The band enjoyed Kilmore’s style and attitude towards life and asked him to join the band. Incubus participated in the Ozzfest and Family Values metal festivals and toured with System of a Down and Ultraspank during the fall.
