But enough has been said now - be quick and secure your tickets so you don't miss this awesome touring package!

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.

DESPISED ICON returned last year with their latest album entitled »Beast«; a vicious commentary on the state of the world and the state of music itself. The album was produced and engineered by former guitarist Yannick St-Amand (BENEATH THE MASSACRE, NEURAXIS) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, OPETH, NEVERMORE). Artwork was created by Alexandre Goulet.
