DESPISED ICON DVD Release Delayed; On Tour Now
January 26, 2009, 15 years ago
BW&BK; has received the following press release:
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 nation as part of the Summer Slaughter Tour. Now these crushing Canadians have unveiled plans for their first-ever DVD release, entitled Montreal Assault. The DVD, which was scheduled to be released on January 27th, but was forced to be postponed due to manufacturing delays, features the band as they trek across Canada during their 2008 headlining tour. The live audio from Montreal Assault can be purchased (online only) and is available now via iTunes.
Despised Icon has also posted a live video online taken from the Montreal Assault DVD. The track is 'The Sun Will Never Charm Us' and originally appeared on 2005’s The Healing Process and can be viewed at this location.
Vocalist Alex Erian comments: “In support of Montreal Assault, Despised Icon has hit the road for a headlining stint. Supporting the band during this tour will be Beneath The Massacre, Carnifex, Neuraxis and The Plasma Rifle. Be sure to catch the band on this tour and be on the lookout for a new offering from Despised Icon in 2009!”
