Canadian deathcore icons Despised Icon are back with another new song. ‘Death Of An Artist’ is the bands 2nd single to be released from their upcoming album ‘Shadow Work’ which drops Oct. 31st.
The band will also be on the road this fall supporting SANGUISUGABOGG along with Defeated Sanity and Corpse Pile. You can find those dates and info below.
DESPISED ICON‘s Alex Erian comments, “We promised a rollercoaster with this record, and it’s time to deliver. Where “Over My Dead Body” leaned into crushing grooves and dissonance, ‘Death Of An Artist’ pushes the pedal down with pure speed and technicality. This one is not only my favorite track on the album, it’s also the most personal. You can hear the echoes of the classic Death Metal bands that shaped us running through some of these riffs. We’re just getting started. Thanks for listening.”
