DESPISED ICON kicks off an extensive Canadian run on the Exclaim!/Much Loud Canadian tour with The Locust this week. They will cap off an extremely successful year as part of the “Crashing Through the Holidays” tour alongside The Acacia Strain, Full Blown Chaos and the Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, which kicks off on Nov. 24th. See below or visit www.myspace.com/despisedicon for their complete touring itinerary.
The buzz currently surrounding DESPISED ICON is undeniable after the Montreal based quintet recently completed an unprecedented fourth tour of North America this year in support of their highly acclaimed new album The Ill’s of Modern Man. Their savage, frenetic energy on stage leaves crowds in a state of amazement through sheer aggressiveness backed with impeccable time changes, scathing blast beats and devastating breakdown assaults. These Canadians walk a fine line between the death metal and grindcore genres, resulting in an exciting juxtaposition that will leave all fans of extreme music begging for more.
In 2007, DESPISED ICON further establishes their position as one of the genre's most devastating new acts.
