Members of the cult of Incubus, rejoice.

The California quintet have compiled over 10 years' worth of band-related content — their greatest hits, previously unreleased MP3s, photos and video — and will release it all this month as a multimedia package. The physical/digital package consists of a two-disc album and a cache of online content, and is the largest collection of Incubus material in one place, at one time, ever.

The Grammy nominees' two-disc greatest hits and rarities album, Monuments And Melodies, will drop June 16. Each copy of the record will come with a code that fans can use on the official Incubus website to access "The Vault," a collection of over 500 pieces of downloadable Incubus memorabilia.

Here's what's in the online package:

• 100 rare or previously unavailable mp3s, including live versions of various Incubus songs and previously unreleased studio tracks.
• Over 100 rare and previously unreleased videos.
• Television appearances.
• A banned version of "Wish You Were Here."
• Complete footage of the band's Dec. 12, 1996 performance at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles.
• Never-before-seen band photos and concert posters.

Incubus have released six studio albums, their most recent being 2006's Light Grenades. It was the band's highest charting album and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.
