DESPISED ICON Sign Album Contract With Nuclear Blast Records<\/strong><\/span>
\nApril 5th, 2016<\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nMontreal, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada-based deathcore group Despised Icon have signed an album contract with Nuclear Blast Records, revealing this development on April 12th, 2016. <\/p>\n

Despised Icon\u2019s fifth full-length studio album Beast<\/em> will be released<\/a> by the label on on July 22nd, 2016.<\/p>\n

The band issued the following statement: \u201cIt\u2019s been seven years since our last record and our batteries are fully recharged. The O.G. line-up is back and the new shit hits hard. You\u2019ll hear sounds of our older slammin\u2019 death metal days blended with the speed and technicality of our latest records. Cheers to everyone that has stood by us after all these years. Can\u2019t wait to unleash the Beast<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nuclear Blast\u2019s head of retail Roy Culver added: \u201cI signed Despised Icon to Century Media back in 2004 after hearing their debut record Consumed By Your Poison<\/em> (2002). The band perfected the mix of ferocious, technical death metal with a modern take on hardcore and their first record for the label, The Healing Process<\/em> (2005), broadened the minds of a whole new generation of metal heads. I love these guys and couldn\u2019t be happier to be working with them again here at Nuclear Blast. The Icon is back!\u201d<\/p>\n
