DESPISED ICON Premiere “Death Of An Artist” Music Video

Canadian deathcore veterans Despised Icon have unleashed their latest single, “Death Of An Artist”, giving fans another taste of their first full-length in six years, Shadow Work. The album is set for an October 31st release, and vocalist Alex Erian spoke on the track:

“We promised a rollercoaster with this record, and it’s time to deliver. Where ‘Over My Dead Body’ leaned into crushing grooves and dissonance, ‘Death Of An Artist’ pushes the pedal down with pure speed and technicality. This one is not only my favorite track on the album, it’s also the most personal. You can hear the echoes of the classic Death Metal bands that shaped us running through some of these riffs. We’re just getting started. Thanks for listening.”

A music video for the track, directed by Jessy Fuchs, is now streaming online.
