DESPISED ICON: New Video Posted Online

May 7, 2007

The Montreal-based deathcore six-piece DESPISED ICON recently completed a video for the track "In the Arms of Perdition" with director Jean-Philippe Bernier. This clip, which is a performance-based offering that emphasizes the band's frantic live intensity, has just been posted to the band's MySpace page.

DESPISED ICON's new album, "The Ills of Modern Man", is scheduled for a May 22 release. The disc was recorded with acclaimed producer/former guitarist Yannick St-Amand (BENEATH THE MASSACRE, ION DISSONANCE, NEURAXIS) and mixed by the renowned Andy Sneap (MACHINE HEAD, MEGADETH).

DESPISED ICON will spend the summer touring North America with THE RED CHORD, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD, ALL SHALL PERISH and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY.

DESPISED ICON's undying work ethic throughout 2006 earned them a rabid and loyal underground following through high-profile tours alongside such esteemed acts as HATEBREED, BEHEMOTH, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, NAPALM DEATH, EXODUS, MORBID ANGEL, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD and KRISIUN.
