Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Canadian deathcore darlings drop their sophomore after a two and a half year wait. Known for their fast, tight sound that blends hardcore, death metal and grindcore, they easily appeal to fans of bands like Dying Fetus, Nasum, and Premonitions of War as well as Morbid Angel and Terror.

I hear that Despised Icon don't like being lumped in with other deathcore bands and think it sucks. Funny thing, seeing as how they started it. One listen to this album and you will know that. This is not their first album, but it is their best. If you like deathcore, you will love this...and they will despise you for it.

This Montreal band has become one of my favorites because of this album. This is a fast, brutal album that never lets up.

This album typifies everything that is wrong with modern bands.
How often must we hear "a bludgeoning mix of extreme metal, grind, and hardcore"? The description itself is bound to attract a plethora of listeners who want others to think they are "cool" because they are hip to the modern "metal" jive.
But on to the music:
There's really nothing that stands out on this album. All of the riffs are basically ripped from watever popular band is playing whatever style they are trying to ...

I got this CD a while back. I sold it within a few days. There's no new material here. Despised Icon is not taking any chances as a metal group. The songs are formulaic, and quite frankly, go nowhere. There is no evident difference between any of the songs on this album. Just some more tough guy-fist pounding metal. I do not suggest this album, or this band for that matter. If youre into stuff that's death metallish with a hint of hardcore, go ahead and get it, this album is for you. It is not, however, ...

Despised Icon is a Canadian band mixing metalcore, death metal, and grindcore, if not more, and features members of Neuraxis, In Dying Days, and Heaven's Cry. Speaking of the terribly underrated progressive metal act Heaven's Cry, I had no idea their guitarist Eric Jarrin, known for his incredible technique and jazzy style, was also capable of ripping it up like the best of them. After hearing this disc, I found out he and the Heaven's Cry drummer were no death metal newcomers as they played in a death metal ...
