DESPISED ICON’S “FURTIVE MONOLOGUE” IS A NINJA MOSHPIT WAITING TO HAPPEN

 Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 at 11:26am by

I don’t particularly care for Despised Icon or the death metal-tinged brand of hardcore that they pedal, but this video is aesthetically fucking beautiful, like something from the brain of Tool’s Adam Jones. The animation sequence starting at 2:20 and lasting the duration of the breakdown (“which
breakdown?” I hear you asking. Good question.) is how I feel when I see kids at these kinds of shows starting ninja moshpits.

    I absolutely love despised icon. Out of all of the deathcore acts out there they are one of the few that keep it fresh and interesting. Montreal has the current death metal scene on lockdown with Despised Icon, Beneath the Massacre, Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis. Not to mention Classics like Cryptopsy and Gorguts.

    Man that song is wank, but I agree the video is rather ace.

    Pig squeals piss me off.

    Montreal…and no mention of QUO VADIS? C’mon man. And Cryptopsy are painful to listen to these days.

    his ‘pig squeals’ make him sound like johhny the hardcore cricket, its a lovely tale of breakdowns and hatebreed tee’s

    I also forgot to mention Kataklysm. Just goes to show that Montreal is the place to be when it comes to death metal. Thanks for mentioning Quo Vadis thats some really solid stuff.

    I can never get into the ___core. I admit I used to dance around and shit when I listened to hardcore. Back in the 90′s that shit sounded so much different and better. Kids used to look like gang members too, unlike the queer look of today. I am not justifying either and looking back I am embarrassed. Nonetheless, this shit blows.
