Canadian deathcore pillars Despised Icon‘s new track “Over My Dead Body” has just hit. Adding a little extra firepower to this joint effort is guest vocals from Matt Honeycutt of Texan metalcore outfit Kublai Khan TX.
Didier Charette took on the reins of directing this clip, with the song headed for inclusion on Despised Icon‘s seventh studio album “Shadow Work“. That first full-length offering from the aforementioned group in six years will be out on Halloween (October 31st) through Nuclear Blast.
Guest appearances from vocalists Scott Ian Lewis (Carnifex) and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin/Darko) will also appear on that record. Vocalist Alex Erian commented of this new song from it:
“Even though our first jam dates back to the fall of 2000, it wasn’t until 2002 that we started playing shows and putting out music. From day one, Despised Icon has always stuck to a ‘if it’s not ready, it’s not ready’ mindset with everything we create. Fast forward almost six years since our last album ‘Purgatory‘, and not much has changed. We’ve taken our time once again, and now we’re finally ready to turn the page and release what we feel is our most fine-tuned and dynamic record to date—staying grounded in the sound and spirit we helped define. We can’t wait to share new music with you all very soon.”
This fall will see Despised Icon begin putting in the road work for this LP, having been confirmed as direct support to Columbus, OH death metal unit Sanguisugabogg on the following tour with Defeated Sanity and Corpse Pile.
