DESPISED ICON News

The Montreal-based deathcore six-piece are currently annihilating crowds on the eagerly anticipated Masters of Chaos tour with Morbid Angel and labelmates Behemoth and Krisiun. The group’s explosive live performances on national U.S. tours alongside such acclaimed artists as Deicide, The Red Chord, Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Neuraxis and Through The Eyes of The Dead caught the entire metal community’s attention, and they look to further establish their position as one of the genre’s most devastating new acts with this upcoming run.

DESPISED ICON shot a video for the track “The Sunset Will Never Charm Us” with acclaimed director Jean – Philippe Bernier (A Perfect Murder). Look for it now on Headbangers Ball, AOL Music, Yahoo, Music Choice and it is also located below. The group’s stunning debut offering, Consumed By Your Poison, was also just re-released. It has been remixed with two newly recorded bonus tracks and features all new artwork/layouts.

Alex Erian (vocals) further describes his thoughts on the reissue: “Consumed By Your Poison marked the beginning of our band, back in 2002. It being re-released through Century Media and demonstrates how supportive the people behind the label have been with us so far. Big thanks to them and to Galy Records for the continuing support and for giving us our first chance. It was remixed by our very own guitarist Yannick St-Amand (Beneath the Massacre, Ion Dissonance) and the result sounds way heavier then the original version. This also contains re-recorded versions of the first two tracks on the disc. The whole cover and layout was redone by our buddy Sven from Aborted, so you know it will look sick as hell. We hope you enjoy it.”

DESPISED ICON's renowned sophomore release, The Healing Process, was produced by guitarist Yannick St-Amand (Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis), mixed by J-F Dagenais (Misery Index, Kataklysm) and mastered by Alan Douches (Shadows Fall, Dillinger Escape Plan). This album is a relentless slab of sheer aggression matched with impeccable time changes that quickly raises the bar for their peers.
