Established in 2002, Montreal deathcore pioneers Despised Icon return with their seventh full-length album, “Shadow Work”. The album marks a significant chapter for a band whose core lineup has remained largely unchanged since its inception, allowing them to stay grounded in the sound and spirit they helped define.
Lyrically, “Shadow Work” explores themes of resilience and inner healing, drawing inspiration from the psychological process of confronting and integrating one’s darker aspects. It’s a deeply introspective record that reflects both personal growth and the turbulence of the world around us.
Their first new music in six years, the album stands as Despised Icon’s most fine-tuned and dynamic effort to date, balancing relentless speed, crushing grooves, and morbid melodies, while remaining true to their signature blend of extreme death metal and hardcore grit.
Produced by the band’s own @alexerian514 and @ericjarrin, “Shadow Work” was mixed and mastered by @christiandonaldsonofficial (Cryptopsy, Shadow of Intent, Signs of the Swarm), with artwork by @elirankantor (Hatebreed, Thy Art Is Murder, Cavalera).
Featuring guest vocals by @nomorexheadtrips (Kublai Khan TX), @scottianlewis (Carnifex), and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin, Darko US), “Shadow Work” will be released on October 31, 2025, via @nuclearblastrecords
We’re currently putting the final touches on our first music video and can’t wait to share new music with you all. We will have more updates soon. For now, you can pre-save the album on @spotify and @applemusic. Thank you all for the continued support over the years.

Canadian deathcore pioneers Despised Icon wasted little time setting the tone for a ferocious co-headline performance. Formed in Montreal in 2002, the six-piece are rightly regarded as genre pioneers. Their distinctive dual-vocalist approach remains central to their identity, with Steve Marois and Alex Erian switching brilliantly between crushing lows and screaming highs, backed by Alex Grind’s relentless drumming.
Featuring tracks from their JUNO Award-winning album Shadow Work, including Over My Dead Body and The Apparition, alongside older favourites, the 45-minute set offered a brilliant overview of their 24-year career. Circle pits opened almost immediately, with crowd surfers flying over the barrier throughout. The band recalled visiting the city with Job for a Cowboy in 2007 and expressed their delight at returning to the UK. Closing with Purgatory, Despised Icon delivered a ferocious performance and a reminder of their legendary status within deathcore.

🆕 NEW REVIEW 🆕
“Despised Icon have helped build the language of deathcore and they showed that they still speak it fluently.”
Becoming one of the defining bands of deathcore’s first wave, @despisedicon signature combination of dual vocalists, death-metal precision, hardcore aggression and breakdowns helped establish a blueprint sound that countless bands would later follow. After splitting in 2010, they reunited in 2014 and returned with a few albums that retain the band’s familiar balance of speed, groove and morbid melodies. The contrast between the two vocalists gives their newer materials a distinct dynamic, while the guitars and drums lock into a tightly executed violence that makes Despised Icon one of the most unique bands of their generation.
For their set at Electric Brixton, the audience needed little encouragement. The pit erupted as the familiar riffs of “Snake in the Grass” and “Bad Vibes” landed, and the energy intensified through the set. During “Over My Dead Body” and “In The Arms of Perdition”, the circle pit had taken up the whole floor and the venue felt like a pressure chamber at points.
