For being Metal fans, you sure are very caught up on image, what a bunch of fuckin homos. For real, this isn’t lady gaga or nSYNC, stop judging people by their clothes and open your fuckin ears.
fuckin girls.

They’ve been going downhill since The Healing Process. The new album will make DI one of those overly technical, but boring deathcore bands.

One of the worst videos I’ve seen, no doubt. Their singers look fuckin’ ridiculous. Other than that, the song was kind of good, but that breakdown destroyed it all. MVP is way better, imo.

Amen. The only videos that have remained good are the videos from Behemoth… They never ruin the songs, just make them even more metal.

Yeah ah no. More death sure but still not metal. Tony from Blood Duster is the only trve metal wigger.

Atreyu, KSE, and these guys . . . really? Your not just old, im afraid your going senile. My condolences.

Ah yes “REAL” death metal. Decades of tradition unaffected by progress . . .

they are probably laughing about being wiggers themselves… so if you are bitching… then you are part of the plan.

but i too thought they were going to start rapping for a second.

But two vocalists adds a dynamic onstage that couldn’t be done with one vocalist who did overdubs in the booth.

The wigg image does have to stop though. Fuck that shit.

Despised Icon are really, really good. Ills Of Modern Man is such a great record because besides the breakdowns and pig squeals (if you’re not into that sort of thing), they have killer riffs. Take the main riffs of Furtive Monologue and Sheltered Reminiscence, 1:24 into In the Arms of Perdition, 1:17 into Quarantine – just pummeling metal hooks.

The other thing about them is that they have some dynamic range and hint at epic greatness – take 2:29 into Immaculate off of The Healing Process or the end of Fainted Blue Ornaments. I’ve always thought if they would develop that side of their songwriting and write some more involved compositions they could create an all time classic metal album.

That said, the Day Of Mourning is kind of disappointing. It’s fine, but standard fare from these guys. The other new track, MVP, has that cool orchestral hint about two minutes in, but once again they just pass over it, and don’t go deep. I’m looking forward to the rest of the album though and hope they just go for it.

The video is kind of ‘meh’. I like the ‘Making Of’ webisode about it better.

You guys who say that Despised Icon is crap have a lot to learn. They have some of the best musicians in metal today (especially their drummer). He has the speed, cleaness and technicality of someone who’s been doing it for over 20 years. Yea their whole style may be silly, but that doesn’t matter at all. Metal is about the music not about the look or how black and evil their outfit is. Just listen to the music an enjoy it. Despised Icon is the shit!!!

Uh… I really don’t see the difference between this band, Atreyu, or Killshit Engage. Guess I’m a really old guy who likes REAL death metal. Yeah, I remember those days…

laugh out loud. if you knew anything about music like this
you would know there are two totally different vocalists.
-_- stick to your own music. if you dont like it listen to something else
stop thinking your cool because you have the freedom to complain on the internet

Watching this video for a second time, I love it more because I begin to understand something that I think allot of other people are missing . . .

Take into consideration that even though they are known as a “dethcore” band and have been called wiggers before they have stated that they do not want to be associated with acts such as Emmure.

Now think about the video. They are at a funeral, doing wigger things such as pouring out a shot and having bitches at their side . . .

Anyone else feel theres some majorly subtle satire going on here?

One of the few very good deathcore bands. Music = good and that’s all that matters.

This band fucking sucks. Why is there 2 singers when they both sound exactly the fucking same, not to mention the boring ass breakdowns. And this it metal not rap, wtf?

By: CJ

CJ — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:12:36 +0000

Closed my eyes and listened. They still suck.

That’s what I was thinking. 2 vocalists is kinda cool sometimes, but really only when you can tell the difference between them. Oh, and for the record, this band sucks.

Not to bad of a song, I like Despised Icon loved Ills Of Modern Man, hate the whole collared shirt and hat and wierd motions with their hands when they sing. Other then all that this is decent deathcore i hate deathcore but DI make it really enjoyable!
