About

Despised Icon are one of the Canadian bands that dragged deathcore out of basements and onto bigger stages. They formed in Montreal and, already on the first record The Healing Process (2005), mixed New York hardcore with death metal. The engine is two voices: low growl and sharp scream. Three albums in, they split in 2010 and stayed quiet for four years. Back together since 2014. Their most recent album Beast came out in June 2019 and was played front to back for the first time at the fourth Amnesia Rockfest in Montreal. Montreal Assault, a live album and DVD, sits in the discography.
