DESPISED ICON: New Song Available For Streaming

July 17, 2009

A new DESPISED ICON track, "MVP", is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The song comes off the Montreal extreme metallers' new album, "Day Of Mourning", which is scheduled for release 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).

The group kicks off its worldwide touring campaign for "Day Of Mourning" on July 24 as part of the massive "Trash and Burn" package alongside DEVILDRIVER, EMMURE, VEIL OF MAYA and a slew of others.

Terrorizer magazine's Jenn Selby conducted an interview with 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 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".
