Editorial Reviews

Brutally intense, unrelenting and outright savage are just a few ways the metal community will describe the new offering from Montreal's hottest export DESPISED ICON as their new full-length effort, Day of Mourning, is a true lesson in violence. In 2009, the Montreal metal titans, DESPISED ICON, look to redefine the genre they pioneered. You have been warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return Of Despised Icon, September 28, 2009

I think The Ills Of Modern Man was a very hard record to top for Despised Icon, but no need to worry. Day Of Mourning has everything that made that album what it is and more, but without the pig squeals from the previous records. Anybody that loved the band for the usage of these pig squeals would probably be too close-minded to handle listening to the band without them. If you can get past this however, you'll love the new album. New guitarist Ben Landreville and bassist Max Lavelle really show that they can fit in without even making the lineup change apparent in the band's overall sound.

Also check out the band's live dvd Montreal Assault.

Imagine Anvils flying at 200 mph in a synchronized technical dance. There's the music. Heavy as F, tough as F, Hardcore as F. Listen for all the intricacies. real good stuff here. Drummer is insane nuts and the riffs are smart and well written heavy hardcore style.

Let me tell you, I thought Despised Icon's last CD ('The Ills of Modern Man') was brutal but beyond a shadow of a doubt they have topped themselves w/ their latest masterpiece 'Day of Mourning!' For those who say deathcore metal isn't true death metal or whatever well they need to shut up & listen to this disc because if you ever had any doubts about that genre of music this CD should silence those doubts!! This is some straight up heavy stuff & much more intense than anything I have heard from Despised Icon yet maybe from any group in this genre of music! Buy this & blast it..this will make your body explode!!!
