 Since their beginnings in 2002, Montreal’s DESPISED ICON have
established themselves as one of the most ferocious bands in the genre.
Most recently, the band brought their intense live show to venues
across the US as part of the Summer Slaughter Tour. Now these crushing
Canadians have Europe in their sights before taking some well-deserved
time off to begin work on their follow-up to 2007’s highly-touted The
Ills Of Modern Man reports Century Media Records.
Vocalist Alex Erian comments: “So Summer Slaughter ended up being wild
as fuck! Thanks for rocking out with us and making it our best US tour
ever. We won't be coming back there this year so we're gonna miss you
guys. We've been home for over a week now, chilling out and getting
ready to hit Europe for the second time this year. It'll be our first
time playing festivals over there and we can't wait to experience the
chaos! To all our friends back home, we'll be playing our last 3 Quebec
shows of the year as soon as we're back from Europe at the end of the
month, hope to see you then! Check out the latest brutality!”
Despised Icon has also posted new video footage online (which can be seen below), which was
filmed during their recent Montreal Assault tour with ION DISSONANCE,
BENEATH THE MASSACRE and PLASMARIFLE. The clip showcases the group’s
raucous stage show while showing their excellent musicianship as they
blaze through 'Furtive Monologue'.
First up on the band’s European conquest is their show at Summer Breeze
festival in Germany, followed by a mini-tour with CEPHALIC CARNAGE and
