DESPISED ICON Interviewed At France's HELLFEST; Video Available

June 26, 2009

Terrorizer magazine's Jenn Selby conducted an interview with Montreal extreme metallers DESPISED ICON at this year's Hellfest, which was held on June 19-21, 2009 in Clisson, France. Watch the seven-minute chat below.

DESPISED ICON has set "Day Of Mourning" as the title of its new album, due on September 22 via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Yannick St-Amand, while the mixing duties were handled by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (HATEBREED, THE ACACIA STRAIN, WHITECHAPEL) in Massachusetts. The whole thing was mastered by Alan Douches (MASTODON, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, NILE).

DESPISED ICON recently released a new DVD entitled "Montreal Assault Live". The disc features a "stellar" multi-camera shoot from the band's sold-out hometown show, alongside a new hour-long documentary and all of the band's promotional video clips.

DESPISED ICON released a "deluxe edition" of its "The Ills of Modern Man" album in June 2008, featuring a bonus DVD composed of a live set from a monumental hometown performance, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. The live footage includes the following songs: "A Fractured Hand", "Bulletproof Scales", "Harvesting The Deceased", "Immaculate", "Retina", "The Sunset Will Never Charm Us" and "In The Arms Of Perdition".
