BW&BK; has received the following press release:

Most of us have come to associate Montréal with merciless but accomplished technical death metal thanks to acts like DESPISED ICON, ION DISSONANCE and BENEATH THE MASSACRE. Starting with Toronto on May 30th, all three bands, along with THE PLASMARIFLE, will give their Canadian brethren a taste of their home-brewed brutality on the appropriately titled Montréal Assault Tour, which is sponsored by BW&BK; and Indiemerch. All the tour dates are listed below.

Despised Icon vocalist Alex Erian had the following to say about the trek: “Finally, it’s about time! We haven’t toured home in little over a year and I can’t wait to share the stage and hang out everyday with some of my closest friends. We all grew up in the same scene and have supported and helped each other since day one. This tour will be fucking epic! These will be our only shows in Quebec and Ontario this year so don’t miss out on the action!”

Erian and the band just returned from playing packed venues in the UK and Russia. They’ll be making a return visit to the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival before they make a quick trip through Mexico early next month. Obviously, between those dates, the Montreal Assault Tour and the impending Summer Slaughter Tour Despised Icon will be plenty busy this year, and the fruit of their labor includes a reissue of last year’s The Ills Of Modern Man with bonus DVD content to coincide with Summer Slaughter and a live DVD capturing the carnage at the hometown Montreal show on June 5th. You can expect that to hit stores sometime in the fall.
