Montreal’s masters of brutality, DESPISED ICON, report in with a batch of news while playing the final leg of the US Thrash and Burn tour: “Thanks to everyone that checked out our new song “MVP” on our myspace. Your support and encouragement means a lot to us. We recently shot a video for the record’s title track “Day Of Mourning” with famed Montreal hip hop video producers Kartel Films. Expect to see cemetaries, fancy cars, 40 ozs, hot bitches and a double dose of brutality. Trust us, the video rules! We’ll post the new song along with pics and a “making of” the video soon! Our new myspace layout is finally online. It has plenty of cool new features. We hope you like it. We’re also working on a new killer website and for all you extreme drummers out there, we’re getting ready to launch http://www.alexgrind.com/ in a couple of weeks. The site will be packed with drum clips, pics and news from the beast known as Alex Pelletier.” So head over to www.myspace.com/despisedicon to check out the new design!In addition to that, you can now listen to a brand-new song from the band’s upcoming new album “Day Of Mourning” exclusively at the website of German Metal Hammer magazine.
