The Ills of Modern Man is the greatest deathcore album of all time. These men are legends. Also Purgatory is a sick fucking record. The guitar is always just NASTY.

DESPISED ICON FOREVER

Great story. One of the most relevant death core bands around today. Innovators and pioneers of the genre.

This dude seems like such a nice, respectful dude. Super articulate, as well. I love it.

These guy's were way and I mean wayy ahead of their time, good to see em still jamin and these last two albums have been bangers.

despiced icon and all shall perish are the best deathcore bands of all time!!!!!

I fucking love despised icon!!!! Great band \m/

Despised Icon is my absolute favorite death metal / death core whatever band. Number 1 baby.

Wow I didn’t realize that when I first saw them in 2005 that it was one of their first ever tours in the US! Only saw them that one time, until now, I have tickets for the upcoming tour with Dying fetus and acacia strain and I am STOKED to see the homies again!

Awesome journey so far, may the path ahead lead to a rewarding future.

Can't wait for Despised Icon's next album. Love from Toronto ON/Bromont QC.

J'vais toujours me rappeler d'la première fois que j'ai vu Despised en show dans un petit bar miteux à Alma au début des années 2000, j'avais été mindblown par la brutalité d'leur son. J'tais habitué au gros Death Metal à l'époque, mais pour moi le band que j'avais dans face s'tai next level ben raide. J'ai pas arrêter de les suivres depuis ce temps là pi j'confirme que le dernier album me ramasse la face à chaque écoute !

Thank you for posting non stop DI videos!!!!!

Very likeable guy! And awesome band! I will always support them 😊

Love these guys and love the vid thanx guys.

Иконы всегда точно знали чего от них ждут фанаты,вот наверное поэтому они делают лучший дэткор и являются номером один.

Thanx four the great miusic🤘🤘

Despised Icon FOREVER! ✊

Met him years ago at a gig. Stood around and talked to me for awhile about drums. Down to earth guy. A beast

More like this! Thanks! 🤘🙏

Hell yeah, awesome! 🔥🤘🏻

Exceptional background music

This is deathcore you can't f with! Last two albums are awesome - liked it even more than Day of mourning - last one before split

I used to go to L'X pretty much every weekend, that place was awesome.

Alex is a local legend in Montreal !

So fucking inspiring good lord fucking love you guys

Nice 👍

At what point did Alex go from drums to vocals though? And why?

Oh, daaamn😎 U,re foking, doesn’t even imagine, how proudly I listened to DI. Now one understands me, but believe, I totally pray for this band. Icon bless Alexes (2x). The first I grab the style of closing, and the second I catch some technique of blasts. Hellyeah to DI!

ICON IS BACK

oh yeah! MTL Represent!

Never been a fan of their music but they always seemed like nice dudes, and this history lesson video is great ! I recommend everyone to watch the old full length documentary about the history of the band (including when they started to get tense and eventually broke up in the first place).

Gald i bought the healing process cuz it really was my healing process back then ...

Those guys were the shit, and will always be the shit. 🤘🤘

i really respect this band despite the criticism of early deathcore movement.

I am beaten but not broken. #GrindForever people

Actually a beautiful story. Having seen these guys a couple times way back in the day and listening to their shit back in '05 and '06 makes me really happy I had the opportunity to experience part of it. Saw them once at this shitty dive bar "Doug's Bar" in a town in Illinois and one of the speakers blew when the bass drop hit in "MVP" The guy who ran the bar was sooo PISSED LMFAO. One drunk asshole was flailing around swing-fisting everyone on the edge of the pit, really anyone in his vicinity hahaha. Dude got kicked out. Main takeaway Despised, at least the 2 times I saw them, put on 2 of the absolute best live performances out of any band I ever saw. Like in the story... always giving it their all. Tiny bar, big venue... the same energy. I love this band with all my heart. Grind forever Despised Icon!

7:15 haha baldy Alex as always

Wow, no idea he was in Neuraxis...

Despised icon is deathcore with the death metal / grindcore element still very strong in its sound. Modern core sounds nothing like this band.

I wanted to like it, but I mean. It’s at 666 bois. 🤷🏼

Most attractive guy on earth. ffffffffffffffffuck

I still think that metal pig squeals are fucking stupid, but for some reason, I can tolerate them from Despised Icon. Ills of Modern man is still in the top 10 on my playlist
