Montreal-based deathcore six-piece DESPISED ICON just completed a new video, for the track 'In The Arms Of Perdition', with director Jean-Philippe Bernier. This clip is a performance-based offering that emphasizes the band’s frantic live intensity. The video has just been posted at the band’s MySpace page.

The disc was recorded with producer/former guitarist Yannick St-Amand (BENEATH THE MASSACRE, ION DISSONANCE, NEURAXIS)
