Despised Icon To Take Part In The Exclaim!/muchloud
DESPISED ICON continues their non-stop fall North American touring onslaught by taking part in the Exclaim Aggressive Tendencies 2007 tour alongside The Locust, which runs exclusively throughout Canada from Nov. 3rd through Nov. 16th. This trek marks the group fifth tour in support of their highly acclaimed new album, The Ills of Modern Man. Check below for the tour’s routing or visit the band’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/despisedicon).
Alex Erian (vocals) further comments: “We’re finally doing a full Canadian tour in November. We haven’t been to western Canada in almost two years and can’t wait to see all our friends out there. We want to thank Exclaim! and MuchLoud for this amazing opportunity. It should be awesome!”
DESPISED ICON are currently on tour alongside Darkest Hour, Job For A Cowboy, A Life Once Lost and The Faceless. This devastating package is a one of the most brutal, fan-friendly, affordably-priced tours this summer and is sure to be the perfect alternative to the oversaturated festival events. This trek leads them directly into another crushing U.S. tour with labelmates Suicide Silence and Winds of Plague, which kicks off on Sept. 2nd and runs through Sept. 26th.
In 2007, DESPISED ICON further establishes their position as one of the genre’s most devastating new acts.
