January 22, 2020, 4 years ago
In the new video below, vocalist Alex Erian of Canadian deathcore pioneers, Despised Icon, offers a 900 second history lesson on the band.
Says the band: "Learn about everything from when we first started out, up until our latest release, Purgatory, out now on Nuclear Blast Records."
Purgatory was produced by Yannick St-Amand, Eric Jarrin and Alex Erian. The music was recorded by Despised Icon's former guitar player, now current front of house engineer Yannick St-Amand while the vocals were recorded by close friend Antoine Lussier of Ion Dissonance. Mixing and mastering were completed by Cryptopsy's very own Christian Donaldson at The Grid in Montreal.
Without a doubt their most dynamic venture to date, Despised Icon have a fresh and energy filled arrangement just waiting to see the light of day in the form of Purgatory. For many years, they have laid the foundation of Deathcore and spearheaded different sounds and movements within the genre.
Purgatory is available in the following formats:
- CD Jewel
- Vinyl
- Grey with Black Splatter Vinyl
