Montreal extremists DESPISED ICON just completed a tour of Europe, which included their first trip to Russia, with MISERY INDEX and BENEATH THE MASSACRE. The group now prepares for a slew of upcoming Mexican dates leading them into the Summer Slaughter tour. More info to follow soon and stay tuned to here for constant updates.

Alex Erian (vocals) states: “We started this European tour with no expectations. I mean it was only our second time, not to mention BTM's first time, in Europe so we figured we were mostly into it to hang out with our boys in BTM and MI and play in front of 100 metalheads a night. But after about a week of playing in packed venues, we understood that this tour was gonna be killer. Much respect to everyone that came out to the shows, had a good time and turned this into something special for us. I haven't had this much fun on tour in a while. We plan on coming back to Europe in August for a short festival run with Cephalic Carnage. See you there!

To celebrate this band’s six year anniversary, we decided to go to Mexico! This tour will mark our first time in Mexican territory. We can’t wait to visit around and rock out there for five days in a row. Expect brutal shows, furious Mexican metal and hardcore bands and lots of Tequila. Come hang out amigos.”
