Beast

Description

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Montreal based deathcore pioneers, Despised Icon,
will release their Nuclear Blast debut Beast in July 2016. The album was
produced and engineered by former guitarist Yannick St-Amand (Beneath The
Massacre, Neuraxis) and mixed/mastered byAndy Sneap (Megadeth, Opeht,
Nevermore). Artwork was created by Alexandre Goulet. For many extreme music
fans, it may be hard to remember a time before Despised Icon, given the
massive influence they’ve subsequently had on the genre. But when the group
formed back in 2002 and released Consumed By Your Poison the same year, there
was little intersection between the sounds of classic death metal and the
brute force of hardcore. But Despised Icon were among the first to fully
embrace the signatures of the traditional death metal formula combined with a
relentless embrace of breakdowns, part of an emerging new sound. Now Despised
Icon return with their newest opus. The genre-defining band is fully
reawakened, poised to recapture the crown with the monstrous and merciless
might of their potent expression. Featuring the men responsible for most of
the band’s now classic death metal catalog, Beast is a vicious commentary on
the state of the world and the state of music itself.
