New Despised Icon

2016-04-13 by Viraemia | 48 Comments
Deathcore pioneers Despised Icon are back!

The band has signed with Nuclear Blast, who will release their new album, Beast, sometime this summer. This will be the Montreal band’s first new offering since Days of Mourning in 2009.

According to the band, you'll hear sounds of their older slammin' Death Metal days blended with the speed and technicality of their latest records.

Check out this teaser with 30 seconds of new music:

I always preferred these guys to Ion Dissonance, but they are both good.

Neat! Looking forward to it. Always thought they were a rung above a lot of the other deathcore acts that were somewhat popular.

A lot more excited for this than I should be. Saw these guys supporting parkway years ago and they put on a really good show

YOU ARE THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF EXCITED. I got giddy when I heard they were getting back together. They are one of a few metal bands that I REALLY wanted to see live and I was never able to. I hope they do a decent tour in support of the new album in the states.

Not gonna lie, their squeals legit make me laugh out loud mid-song sometimes (the rest of their stuff is pretty ok)

For some reason JFAC squeals are slightly more tolerable for me. No reason why, that's just how it is for me I guess

I haven't heard their last two albums (my favorites of theirs) in a while, but from what I recall the squeals mostly went away after The Healing Process. I could be wrong.

The one really funny one that comes to mind is on Furtive Monologue where actually the entire song just devolves into bree-and-chug in sync for a few seconds, so I dunno.

Like I said, instrumentally they're pretty cool

They are, Ills is one of the only deathcore albums I rate highly but it's funny that he's a professional squealer man. Like, that's his job!

Hope they play another hometown show even though I just caught one in 2014. Club Soda has become my favorite venue just from them playing it, they're so fun live. Album should be fun.

Fairly excited. These guys were some of my heroes in my high school days. The Red Chord is probably the best of the few good deathcore bands out there, but I think these guys weren't too far behind.

I had no idea JFAC had actually put out a good album. I've always loved Johnny Davy for no good reason
