Despised Icon Post New Track And Video Report Online
DESPISED ICON recently annihilated crowds throughout the U.S. on tour alongside Suicide Silence, Winds of Plague and See You Next Tuesday garnering a whole new legion of diehard fans. This trek marked the group’s fourth North American tour this year in support of their latest album, The Ill’s of Modern Man, and they recently shot a new video for the track, “Furtive Monologue,” with director Jonathan Desbiens. Look for it to make its debut online later this month.
In the meantime, DESPISED ICON recently took some time to discuss the current tour and update us on the ongoing beard growing contest. Click on the link below to check it out.

The track, “Furtive Monologue,” can also now be streamed now on the band’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/despisedicon). Alex Erian (vocals) further describes the video’s concept: “We shot another video a few weeks ago for the track ‘Furtive Monologue’ and from the looks of it so far, this will be our darkest video yet!
This was our first time working with director Jonathan Desbiens and judging from his previous videos, we’re all confident that it’ll fucking slay. We also just posted the song and some pictures of the video on our MySpace page.”
In 2007, DESPISED ICON further establishes their position as one of the genre’s most devastating new acts.
