Despised Icon Kicks Off North American Touring Onslaught; New Video Posted Online
DESPISED ICON caps off an extremely successful year as part of the “Crashing Through the Holidays” tour alongside The Acacia Strain, Full Blown Chaos and the Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, which kicked off last week. See below or visit www.myspace.com/despisedicon for their complete touring itinerary.
The buzz currently surrounding DESPISED ICON is undeniable after the Montreal based quintet recently completed an unprecedented fourth tour of North America this year in support of their highly acclaimed new album The Ill’s of Modern Man. Their savage, frenetic energy on stage leaves crowds in a state of amazement through sheer aggressiveness backed with impeccable time changes, scathing blast beats and devastating breakdown assaults. These Canadians walk a fine line between the death metal and grindcore genres, resulting in an exciting juxtaposition that will leave all fans of extreme music begging for more.
The group recently completed a stunning new video for the track, “Furtive Monologue,”with director Jonathan Desbiens. Click the link below to check it out.
